So Cal Fires!!!

It is really scary, I tell ya. I live right in the heart of Los Angeles, near West Hollywood and Bev Hills, so I'm not personally in any danger... but I work with and know a lot of people who have houses in Malibu, and the mass evacuations just south of us is overwhelming. It's incredibly sad to see everyone in such fear. Today, my entire office sat and ate lunch together in silence, watching the footage on television.

One of my favorite rides is in Malibu, and up through Pepperdine - and I couldn't go Sunday b/c of all this. This morning on an early ride with my SO and a friend, the ash and smoke in the air wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but my eyes haven't stopped watering and my nose is clogged.

To all my socal sistas - hang in there! Everyone stay safe!!

Hey guys will you add my nephew, his wife and their 6 month old son to your prayer list? They have been evacuated from their home and are currently living in the shop he operates for his dad in San Diego. They have their RV packed with their processions and animals. Everyone is safe which is the most important thing.

My niece lives in El Cajon and is currently okay but I'm worried about her as well. It breaks my heart to watch the news - I simply can't imagine what they and all the others in S. Calf are going through at the moment. Those in S. Calf. please be careful - my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been touched by this awful situation.

The numbers are staggering. As time goes by we'll hear some of the heart warming stories of people helping people - there's got to be more of it than we know yet.

Ladies, if any of you think it's the right thing to do, can travel to Canada, and are not allergic to dogs or cats, we have room here for you. Yes, our guest room has quite a comfortable bed, too.

Hugs and protective butterflies,

we're getting tons of smoke(Rancho Cucamonga). like fog.
it seem like when they get one out, another pops up.
Could be worse, several folks on the train said they couldn't get back home to the high desert since the Cajon Pass was closed.
