I echo the sentiments above, Cole. I pay for my subscription to 5AM because I'm so grateful for what you share here, and I want to support your work. I don't really expect or need a regular schedule of articles from you at the best of times, so take as much time as you need. Not just to take account of the disruptions, but to process what's happening. You might not live there anymore, but it's bound to be bringing up all sorts of stuff for you, and you deserve the grace to work through that.

I would hope your paid subscribers (including me) would understand why you can’t keep all of your commitments at the moment. These are circumstances beyond your control. Much as I look forward to your various posts, I can certainly wait. Take care of yourself.

Thanks, Sally. Work has always been my way to focus through stress, but these past two weeks have been very challenging for a litany of reasons.

This paid subscriber is urging you to take all the time you need for yourself and for those to whom you need to attend. I’m not going anywhere. Yours is one of the best Substacks on the site. Wishing you and everyone related to these fires strength and resilience. 🙏❤️

Catching up on posts, so a little late, but just wanted to echo everyone's comments here. It's precisely because we subscribers and readers love your articles etc that we value you and want you to be happy and well, Cole. Take whatever time you need, and take good care of yourself - everyone will be here on your return :)

Echo everyone else. Please take the time you need. The insights and analysis you provide, are the reason for my paid sub. Quality not quantity is what I think benefit us all.
