Glad everyone is okay. I checked the site as soon as I heard Santa Rosa was burning. Hoping for the best for all affected. Blessings.

So everyone is back at work today, although we can hardly call it back to normal. The smoke is still very thick in the air, and we wear masks even to get to the car. The threat from the major fires seems to be reduced greatly to all of our homes, and for that we are grateful. The accounting has begun, and it appears that 1 in 20 homes in Santa Rosa is lost. I haven't seen any of the damaged areas first hand, as they are at the northern edge of town and I want to stay out of the way. From the images looking in person isn't going to inform any more - where there was fire everything is gone.
Schools are closed for this whole week, so it's possible you might hear a little voice answering the phone. UPS is not doing outbound shipments yet, so we appreciate your patience.

I was just telling our audience last night of the plight facing the folks in the town where my bass was made. 1 home in 20 is bad, especially for a place that size.

Mica, no idea if you can get inbound shipping, but I have access to all the particulate respirators you could possibly need. I figured you already had some in the shop, but if you need more, or if they're (understandably) in short supply out there, hit me. ;)

Glad you are all safe! Let us know if we can help.

Thanks for the update, Mica.  I think we've all been refreshing this thread all week.

Mica has posted a fuller update, which includes a link for donations, to our News & Announcements section.

Thanks, Greg! We passed out enough so everyone could have them at home for family, and as you suspected, the whole town was out of them last week. I was at Friedman Borthers (local hardware store) on Saturday and found their "seasonal" display when you walk in the main entrance was a wall of particle masks and respirators.

Sorry to hear about those affected negatively by the fires but am glad that threat seems to be abating.
