<DIV><FONT size=4>Bruce and Barbara Johnson at the Homestead School, one of
Oklahioma's sustainable living demonstration sites, had a narrow escape from the
fires ravaging eastern Oklahoma county today. The fire came onto their
property and at one point they had to evacuate (and yes, they took the chickens
with them). But they were able to return and with the assistance of
neighbors and the fire department stopped the fire before it got to any of their
buildings. Sean and I went out there in the afternoon and helped them put
out some hot spots. So here's hoping the rest of the fires can be put down
as quickly.</FONT></DIV>
