Hot, dry, and windy here. With all the fires, there's a layer of ash on everything. I had to put a towel at the base of my front door to keep the ash from blowing in (my door faces mecca East and the Santa Anas blow west). And I am once again reminded what slobs many apartment dwellers are...all the trash in the alleys across the street from my house is now in my front yard and entry way.

At least the wifey can't complain about my cigars....everything smells like smoke.

Morning. I’m officially off-duty. Until further need, at least.

My daughter went back to work today, hopefully, only until noon, so we’ll see how she does.

Six AM? That’s still dark out!

Yep, I’d have to declare a Universal nap, too. Life is great when you can make the Rules!

G00d morning, rottie!

How in the world are you getting ash if the fires are in Malibu, and you’re south and east of there?

Confused

I remember being in El Toro when the Santa Ana’s burned Laguna Hills. We could see the fire along the hills to the SouthWest from base.

"the 3 PM teleconf just got moved to Thursday at 6 AM"
Oh, what fun!

Yah, but it's not all that unusual. Finding a mutually convenient time when my attendees are back East, UK, Germany, India, Australia and China is impossible. But this time I can at least conduct it from home.

There’s a huge fire in San Diego, apparently.

Yes, it is, but having gone through spinal surgery myself, I’m leery of her working so soon. I gave her two small cushions that fit in the small of her back, and told her one stays at home, and one follows her everywhere.

She is (thankfully) listening to Mom for a change. It’s good to be home, but I miss babying her. It’s OK, though...she has a new concept of Mom, now. It’s all good!

More than huge. This one is going to get very bad, very fast.

I've got the San Diego TV station streaming on my desktop. I lived down there for quite a few years and still have many friends in the area. I've never seen an evacuation of this magnitude.

Ugh. There seem to be a number of big fires around SoCal today.

There’s a fire that started in Orange and has burned into Irvine.

They have already determined the Orange fire to be arson.

Ugh. As if one fire during the Santa Anas wasn’t enough, someone has to get stupid.

Y’all need a good Pacific storm to help put it out.

Wish I could send down the rain that isn’t falling here today.

LOL!

That would be good, wouldn’t it?

In turn, I’d send you some of this cold.
