Fires spare Reagan library but menace homes near Los Angeles

By Thomas A. Smith

Goats!

Tomorrow I will see if I can get my fire pump to start. If not, I’ll take it again to the garage, expensive though it may be. This time, I’m not evacuatin’ till the last minute. I’m done sitting in a cheesy hotel room, watching the TV to try to tell if my house has burned down.
