My City Is Burning - Again
First there were landslides, now fires, I'm pretty much expecting frogs falling from the sky sometime in November.

Hot, dry air with winds blowing almost 70 mph from the desert makes for ideal fire conditions. I seem to be sitting pretty except for the smoke and ash; my place is actually pretty nice, if hot, with the doors and windows all closed and my air purifier working overtime. I went in to work today for a bit, swapping backup tapes and doing some troubleshooting, but I went home because the air quality in our building was bad and deteriorating. I might take my air purifier with me to work tomorrow; then I'll have both air conditioning and clean air!

I thought changing water to blood was supposed to come first...

We're skipping that one, because while it's all very impressive with the Nile, it's kind of pathetic here in San Diego. I think I've let more blood than that with my exacto knife accidents.

Do you think a rain of frogs might help supress the fires? Hrm...

Nah, that would be too convenient.

Well, it might make them smell a little different...

Geoff! I read that parts of Encinitas are being evacuated. How are you guys doing?

Well, I evacuated earlier this afternoon - hanging out at my parents. Been watching google maps with the KPBS fire overlay. One of those fires is getting a little too close to my house for me to be comfortable.

I'm hoping that I'm going to wake up tomorrow and that part will have been contained. Otherwise, I'm hoping that AAA home owners insurance is as good as its reputation implies.

You can come hang out inland, roast some s'mores, watch the glow. ;) I hope your house escaped the worst!
