During a big fire west of Denver in the 90’s, people who couldn’t evacuate their horses or had to leave them in other areas spray painted their phone numbers on them

Peta sued them for curelty to animals

I see a blue pool and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Really? A few years ago, my sis-in-law went in for abdominal pain. They send her home and told her to take a laxative. Later in the afternoon, I took her to Mercy Hospital, waited for literally hours, and she had an emergency appendectomy at 1:30am.

That said, I had my last baby there.

Many local stores, including Walmart donating many truck loads of food, water etc into the Stadium in SD and other shelters.

Good for them.

CNN listed 9 in critical condition and 7 in serious. I think 4 of those are the FF brought in the first day but they did not say who was in the 9 or 7.

The number and location of these fires has been more than one would expect with simple propagation by wind. There were arsonists at work in 2003 as well.

Running Springs - The Slide and Grass Fires have burned over 10,000 acres of brush and timber, according to CAL Fire. According to a utility employee in the Running Springs area, the fire has damaged homes on the following roads: Deep Creek Drive, Secret Drive, Encina Way, Chicago Drive, Old City Creek Road (from near Highway 330 and up), Knoll View Drive (1 or 2 homes lost), Nob Hill Court (1 home lost), Frebalba Road (homes lost on both sides by the Catholic Church), Circle View Drive, Valley View Drive, Camp Helendade (some structures), and Easy Drive. Many others areas were threatened according to the employee. “The fire is jumping around due to the winds. It looks like a war zone here.”

It was 99o today when we went to lunch around 1:30pm.

Winds are way down (good) but humidity has been around 3% - 5% (bad).
