Thanks to all of you wonderful customers who called us here at Beacon's Glow Collectibles to see if we were affected by the firestorms in Bastrop, Texas. We greatly appreciate your thoughts and concerns.
Bastrop is about 35 miles from Pflugerville, Texas, and believe it or not there were a couple of days when the smoke in the air was very visible right from our front door.
At this time, the fire is still not totally contained and it is Day 13 since the two fires started in Bastrop. More than 1500 homes were totally destroyed in the fire and Bastrop State Park was damaged badly. (Bastrop State Park is an incredible State Park in Texas. In the middle of nowhere, you come upon these incredible pine trees that are just breathtaking. Well, one used to come upon these incredible pine trees but most have been burned to the ground by the fires). In fact, we recently found out that 95 percent of the park has been destroyed by fire.

Anyway, our hearts go out to all of these unfortunate people who lost their homes in these massive fires that destroyed more than 30,000 acres. (And thanks again to those of you who reached out to us to check that we were alright).
