Interesting Times

[dwgm]

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).

he's shocked and appalled about something

He's worried about you too!

I'm glad you are safe, and I hope the ash blows another direction. It's hellaciously hot up here today (yesterday too). Even under the trees here where I park, which is REALLY unusual.

Keep us posted ok?

Thanks for the good thoughts! It was warm enough here this evening so that Mom and I were able to sit outside at TGIFridays -- most unusual! It's a pretty night, the winds have died down, and it looks like they're getting the fires under control -- no more visible flames, at least, which were impressive enough this afternoon to inspire the original post. We've seen a whole lot worse over the years.

It appears that it's all over but the mopping up, so now I can pull out a cheerier icon. I hope tomorrow is cooler for you :)
