The closest fire is in Porter Ranch (just over the mountains from us), but isn't blowing our way. The freeway into town is badly effected, though, and the winds are still crazy today.

We've had such amazingly good weather all summer I don't feel we've a right to complain. And wouldn't, if it weren't for the arsonists that come out of the woodwork when the October winds come up.

Give Shiva lots of pets for me, and here's a tropical drink for you. :)
