all things, o priests, are on fire

jazzfishSo, we're under a wildfire evacuation alert. The smoke cloud is visible from the back deck, and the air's distinctly yellowish this morning.
Informative links: Evac order for the Shovel Lake fire, as of 13 August at nine PM. (If that link's 404'd, click "Home Page" and look for the most recent Shovel Lake fire evac order.) Wildfires of Note page for the Shovel Lake fire. On the map in the evac order link: find the vertical "Highway 27" on the right, and we're just across the highway from the W in "Highway."
Current thinking is that most of the evac order area will be on fire in the next day or two, if it's not already, and the eastern arm of the evac alert will change to an evac order by the weekend. Erin has borrowed a trailer from a coworker, and will be spending much of today modding it to hold a hundred birds. Or perhaps fifty birds, in two trips. Current plan, subject to more or less immediate change, is to leave in the next couple of days, ahead of the crowd, and take everything but me down to her partner Josh's place four hours south. (I get dropped off at the airport on the way.)
It's stressful but it's not the worst stress. On me, anyway; s'not my house. I am mostly trying to hold together in the face of some other unspecified stresses, and otherwise be a reasonable amount of support in the current situation. It's also possible that I will come entirely apart more or less as soon as my brain registers it as being "safe" to do so, which may be "as soon as i'm on an airplane" or "as soon as i'm at home."
Kind of puts my plumbing woes in perspective. Though I still don't want to go through that again either.
