Toasted Motor Home

This is what happens when motor homes go bad. It gets reported on the news, stops traffic, and burns the sagebrush for 450 acres +.
Actually, this is my mom and dad's motor home today at 12:30. They were in a group going camping, the one in front pulled over, dad pulled over, the people behind came and got them out, then BOOM!! It blew up! Mom had heard something funny and commented to dad about it. Nobody knows what started the fire. Smoke from back while moving, and when they stopped, it filled the inside. My mom was more upset about losing all the food they had fixed for the next 4 days. Peaches and tomatoes, and Arby sandwiches. We will be going over early to see how they are for real, shock and all that neat stuff. Mom has been making a list of what they lost. Basics like toothbrushes, hair brush, pillows, her C-Pap machine, purse with keys and IDs and money and credit cards. Lisa says she goes back and forth from laughing to crying. At least Dad won't be driving any more big rigs, so there is that silver lining.
We were getting ready to go to Gale's for dinner, stopped at the Letha Store and found out that yesterday, the garbage truck caught on fire. Seems someone put hot stuff in their trash, it got picked up, and presto: fired up garbage truck.
What is this world coming to?
That is the latest. Later
Cathy and Richard

Good grief I hope the powers that be do not hold them responsible for setting the fire, that could get nasty. Glad no one was hurt.
