Jim - how's the fire situation? It must be pretty bad.

Thanks for asking. It is much improved today, from my perspective. While my home was never really in danger, the fire did come within just a few miles of it. I have 5 good friends who were evacuated. One of them, family of 3 plus their dog, stayed with us until just a little while ago when they were allowed to go home. 2 others are not home yet, but I've heard that they've confirmed that their house is still standing. the final two just don't know, and one in particular lived in one of the worst hit areas. Their house has not showed up on the list of destroyed houses yet, although several of their neighbor's houses have. We are still hopeful.
I haven't seen the sun in two days because of the smoke. There is up to a half inch of soot and ashes throughout my yard. My nose has started running from all the crap in the air. But, the fire, while still out of control, has moved away from the most populated areas of San Diego, which is good, and it looks more and more promising that none of my good friends were directly affected.
It's been kind of spooky, and fairly emotional the last two days, but things are starting to feel closer to normal.
