just a few miles from my current home, today's santa ana winds have ignited a fire in the canyon (santiago canyon).
when i arrived home from church, jenny asked if i had seen smoke. i hadn't, but it didn't take long. the sky turned black, and the fires have been spreading more quickly then expected as a result of the strong winds. the glow is easily seen from our windows, and members of mick and jenny's ward have voluntarily evacuated. it is unlikely that the fires will spread to us, yet it is certainly making for an interesting evening. the kids, have gathered sneakers, sweatshirts, journals, dolls, etc, but this is mostly to alleviate their fears by helping them feel prepared.
for the moment, we watch and wait. one small earthquake and i'll consider my california experience complete:)

Please! You haven't lived until you've been through a riot and looting, a celebrity trial and been caught in traffic on the freeway from a chase!
You've go so much left to do!

I'm sure your parents are thrilled to hear about this. :P
