Now back to the original article from last year, fall of 2021:

I evacuated for 3 weeks from the Caldor wildfire, burning out of control here in South Lake Tahoe. I’m back home, but I’m still suffering from what I call the “Bambi Complex”, a strange form of PTSD where any hot, windy day, packing and unpacking for vacation, and the hum of a helicopter, or an emergency vehicle siren will cause me to panic. I’m sure it will dissipate as time goes on and the memory of loading up a U-Haul truck with harps, business equipment, and prized possessions under a hellish red night sky will fade into memory.

Please attend my special mini-concert at https://www.crowdcast.io/e/thank-you-harp-mini, FREE for those wonderful first responders who comment below with a request for the coupon code (I’ll send it off to them).
