They busted the fire bugs....YES!! Now put them inside a ring of fire with all their possessions and keep them there! Let them learn when firefighters and fire victims go thru.

We just got back from dinner. We had a fantastic time. My son has the best sense of humor and made me laugh through most of dinner.
My son had a huge grin on his face seeing this when we got home. Thank you so very much for your support. This is wonderful! I'm trying to hold my head high Ma. ;) Thanks for the tissues Beachn, I'm gonna need them.....

The situation re the Griffith Park fire seems to have abated. There was no more tower of smoke when I came out of work circa 5:45. And, I'm far enough west, didn't even smell the smoke. It all drifted east and was lying low over downtown.
I couldn't see much difference in the demand at OUR emergency room, but maybe some others closer to the fire have asthma cases, etc. I'm waiting now for KCAL9 news, but the ballgame is on.... "freeway series," Dodgers ahead 5 nuthin'...:)
The arson perps are in custody...:(

You did great on this, Beachy. I felt a little catch in my throat and tear in my eye. This came across while I was at work, so I'll post something on the new thread tonight.
