After having patiently waited over a year for some sort of news from Hoser I had simply reached the end of the rope. I finally looked his number up on the net, took the reins in my teeth and made a blind phone call just now - not knowing what to expect.
John finally answered, explaining that he had, moments ago, received "... another emergency fire evacuation notification ..." (it seemed that there had been others recently). He is frantically grabbing important "stuff" to bug out - ASAP. He is rushing around right now and will be leaving his home in Redding to go somewhere safer. He IS OK although a LOT of fire emergency "stuff" seems to have been surrounding him and he is hurrying as fast as he can to evacuate (maybe evacuate again) He was a bit frantic due to a shortness of time - so I ended the call telling him to just get out of there.
More to follow when it is available.
