I have been missing for a few weeks now. My hometown was pillaged by a mass murder followed less than 12 hours by fires on both sides that devastated an acreage larger than the city of Denver. The fires are finally 100% contained and the healing and rebuilding begins. My home was safe and my family unharmed. Others were not so blessed.
