Thanks, DG! I just hope I don't hack up a lung at rehearsal. :-P

OK, if anyone cares, we are definitely rehearsing tomorrow, but it looks like it will be in Vista (better air quality). So, I'm going to finish packing, and head out of here in a couple of hours.

The wind is starting in again up here, and we are now immersed in the smoke from the Arrowhead fire - which, as far as we can find out, has no containment at all yet. Not too much ash falling, though. We have friends who live up there, who are camping out in the desert since they got evacuated three days ago.
I really hope everyone got out - there just aren't that many roads in-and-out of the mountains there.

Yeah the winds are blowing east - and we are getting blanketed by Running Springs smoke.

It would be great if the off-shore breeze picked up - that's what they've been hoping for, expecting that the fires would be blown back on themselves.
Up here, the breeze is still coming from the north-east

FWIW, I'm here in Escondido, and it's not too bad, smoke-wise.

Things are clear here, as well - but the wind stopped. I know it's burning 'right over there', but we're not being impacted at the moment.
Those evacuated obviously don't feel the same way. My thoughts are with them . . .

That goes without saying. Truly, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this terrible tragedy.
On a purely selfish note, I was just psyched that the smoke wasn't too bad, especially since I have asthma.

Erika - and you have to 'Sing out, Louise!'
I think we all feel for those affected - but we still have our own lives to live, don't we?

Thank God for Babel Fish.
And I have no idea about Ellen - but it wouldn't surprise me. The thing is, most of the evacuees have . . . well, evacuated the arena.

DG: LOL... FYI, the other phrase I was debating posting was, "True dat." I went with the French instead. :-P

"Some people, like Robert Sanders of Rancho Bernardo, had no homes to return to. The 56-year-old photographer came back to find his house reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble. The fire-resistant box he kept his transparencies in was intact, but its contents were melted.
"I've lost my history," Sanders said. "All the work I've done for the past 30 years, it's all destroyed."
I really can't imagine what this must be like - and I've been thinking about it for a few days, obviously.
On the one hand, it seems a possible lesson in what counts and what doesn't - and usually, the material end of things comes up short. But as in this case, so much of yourself gets wrapped up in what you accumulate. It must be a trauma of the biggest kind to have the physical evidence of your history wiped away.
These people are in my thoughts and prayers.
