A neighbor who lives across the hall with her 12 year-old daughter, knocked on my door in a panic. She was worried that we would have to evacuate because of the fires and had already packed a bag. My anxiety hadn’t reached that pitch, but it did get me to thinking about what items I would grab if we had to flee. Apart from my dog and iPhone, would I make time to pull a favorite pair of shoes, jeans or that photo of me and my parents from 40 years ago? What’s on your most treasured list?
