No worries, I'm about 100 miles west of the fire; luckily we haven't had the wind blow in our direction yet to suffer the soot. Thanks for checking (by the way, I ate my Happy Hippo tonight; it was fabulous.Originally Posted by ClockworkOrange

I hate, hate, hate fires. I grew up in the canyon where the worst fire in Los Angeles city history actually started before it blew the other way and devastated a number of other canyons. It was called the Bel Air fire, in 1961; I was only 5 and I still remember being lined up to be evacuated from elementary school. http://www.lafire.com/famous_fires/6...LAFDreport.htm
But, boy, do I love firemen (I know I should say fire fighters; but when I was a kid they were only men). They are true heroes.
