According to CFPA district specialist Jef Chase, so far this year the agency already respond- ed to several escaped debris burns throughout the area.

Our first apartment was 300 square feet. We were newlyweds and still in that “cozy stage,” so it wasn’t a problem. Three years later, we were packed to the gills and longed for a little breathing room, so we moved into a 1,200-square- foot house. Wow, so much THE BORN LOSER extra space. In what seemed like the time it took to un- pack, the place mysteriously filled to capacity. Three years later, we moved into an 1,800-square- foot house with a big family room addition and a two-car garage. Again, whatever that filling-up thing is, it kicked in, and soon, we were full to the rafters. Twelve years later, we ZITS moved into a house twice the size, and -- you guessed it -- we more than filled it, too. The process of paring down, cleaning out and simplifying has become an unrelenting challenge. Over the past few months, because being homebound seems to free up a lot of time, I’ve done a lot of paring down and cleaning CLASSIC PEANUTS out. Today, I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, I have THE FAMILY CIRCUS that wonderful “clean” feel- ing because I just regained control of several closets and rooms in our house. But on the other hand, I’m hang- ing my head in shame. How on earth did we accumulate so much stuff? Where did it all come from? BABY BLUES What makes me think there’s some endless supply in the sky that will forever be available for me to accu- mulate? The whole ordeal has not been pleasant. I gave away and threw away more stuff than I could believe, and not without pain. Oh, how I struggled! I am grateful that our community has an option ROSE IS ROSE called “free porch pickup.” We have a website where we can list and share photos of items certainly not ready for the landfill but no longer useful to us. It’s first come, first served. No one rings my door or asks me to hold it for them. Lately, my porch has seen a lot of activity. After a couple of trips to the charitable collection cen- LUANN ter and, sadly, the city dump, I’ve turned the corner. I’m a new woman! I love this cleaned-out feeling. I’ve renewed my deter- mination to ask myself these questions before I bring anything into this house: -- Can I afford it? -- Do I really need it? -- Do I need it now? -- Do I have something like it already? GRIZZWELLS -- Can I find a cheaper substitute? -- Is this the best deal? Then I’m going to go home and think about it for 24 hours. If I decide to go back and buy it in the morn- ing, or revisit that online site we all know and love (perhaps a little too much?), I’ll know without a doubt this object can come into this house. And I’m going to take it one step further: MODERATELY CONFUSED REALITY CHECK HERMAN As far as practical, when one thing comes in, some- thing must go. And I plan to be really tough on myself, too!
