Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. I am sure that Robert will appreciate it when he gets back on line.


A up date from our part of Texas which is about 40 miles from Robert. Part of the town of Karnack second nearest town to us, Was under emergency evacuation order. Fire was two miles from there and moving fast. The forest service got it turned and people got to go back home this morning. A small 30 acre fire was rekindled 6 miles South-West of us and the locals got out the tractors and a old bulldozer to get it under control. Its my understating that it is contained and 99% out. The fires on the North end of the lake are 95% contained. Very little smoke can be seen from our location. Much improved from yesterday at this time. The air is still hazy from this fires and there is the smell of wood smoke less that yesterday. In fact it smells like a giant BBQ took place. The newest maps show a new fire about two miles south of I-20. about at the west edge of Shreveport. Family and the Family business is on the south side of I-20 at the eight mile marker. To close for comfort!!!!
