The panhandle of Texas is a little bit in the news this week. It is currently home to the second largest wildfire in U.S. history, and threatening to become the largest. For most people this is true “flyover country”, or perhaps “drive-thru,” if travelling east-west on interstate 40 or the old Route 66 but otherwise it does not enter most American’s consciousness. But from kindergarten through fifth grade, I lived there, and loved it. It is a place rich in history, natural beauty and burrowed deeply in American folklore. The town of Fritch, which if you watch the news you will see has burned extensively in this fire, is a place where I spent a lot of time at a friend’s home in my youth. This fire is quite literally burning my memories and I am praying for all that live there and especially for those that have been displaced.
