Doing Good - Bamford London

This just flashed across my Instagram and thought it was worth sharing -

Although Wendy and I met in Japan and currently live in Massachusetts, I think its safe to say that we felt very much at home during our 16 years in California. 

What we came to learn was that although in many ways an idyllic place, California is also a very dry place. And it takes just a small, almost imperceptible spark, and fire will erupt. On more than one occasion we had a bag packed, and the cat carriers ready in case evacuation orders came.

I share this to try and help people understand how quickly disaster can strike, and I hope to underscore that natural disasters...(and despite the incredibly idiotic disinformation being fomented both online and on-air, this was and continues to be a natural disaster) natural disasters don't discriminate, they don't play favorites.

So well done and thank you to George Bamford, and the Bamford team for acting so quickly to put together this very cool watch that will, in turn, benefit many in need.
