Interesting Times

Well, people, I'm now watching rather active flames crawl down the mountain in our direction. It's a bit distracting when one is trying to shuffle papers. Wish I had my digital camera.

ETA: I am informed that they've lit a back fire in an effort to cut the path of the main fire, which has been making it's way over from Oak Park.

Just another interesting day in sunny California (or it would be sunny if it weren't for all the smoke).
