I guess one good thing about these fires is that it allowed me to talk to people who I haven’t talked to in a while. I’m fine of course…I live near the ocean (had my waterwings on). Fires came close to my office though (check out a map here). Had to flee work on Monday afternoon through a thick, midnight-like, haze from Carlsbad to Del Mar (strange, eerie, interesting). A few friends were forced to stay with us for a couple of days - but all is good (at least with the peeps that I know).
