late last night when i was home in bed....

malibu
san diego


remember that song? i used to love it...well, actually it would now be "late last night when i was in slc...." it was then that california decided to burn up! and it burns and burns....i've lived here for almost 30 years and we have fires every year...but, i think that this one takes the cake...right by my house was the malibu fire..it burned down a huge castle that has been there forever....up north is the casitas fire, the magic fire, down south by kelly's is the irvine fire, her neighborhood was actually evacuated on sunday....then, farther south is the whole of san diego, which seems to be on fire...then, there is the lake arrowhead fires...it's crazy....smoky...hard to drive anywhere....it's also really HOT! not because of fire, just the temp...it was 100 degrees today...and very dry...sort of that suck it in because you can't breathe feeling...yesterday, i flew in from utah and it was crazy to see all the smoke from the air...so, say your prayers for all of those in need...and a big thanks to the firefighters out there fighting the fires..hopefully, the "hot time in the old town" will be over really soon.....

  2. Was wondering if you were going to have to evacuate. Glad you are alright. The big castle? Makes me mad that I can't remember it.

  3. I was going to come and visit, but will have to wait til the air clears our, maybe January? Hope everyone is ok and it settles down soon. San Diego is too pretty to burn down. But I like to watch the get up and go attitude of the people when you watch the news. They are prepared and working together and it almost looks like a party in the stadium in San Diego. Californians are great! It doesn't hurt to have "The Terminator" as the Governor.
