Ranando: I’m beginning to think you’re correct.

Robert: are you sufficiently far away from the fires that you’re not threatened?

I’ve been watching this one on the news (yes, I actually remember WHICH CHANNEL the news is on…) and I’ve been telling TMBWitW that we should perhaps clear some floor space, since a bunch of SoCal bloggers and their families may need sleeping bag space…

Robert – prayers to you and all the bloggin’ buds out there. Keep your eyes open, and be ready to move…

Gawf was lucky getting out of there; when I lived in Atascadero many moons ago getting stuck in town was a sure thing at least once every late summer/early fall.

I’ve been worried about y’all! Are you safe? At least for the time being? If they tell ya to leave….LEAVE! I don’t want to have to ‘hop on a plane’ and come over there to smack ya! :worried:

@DE: I’d be willing to bet the farm on that too…

I’m sure the democrats will say that this catastrophe rests squarely on the failed policies, lies, and coverups of the Bush/Cheny adminstration.

@Gawfer: We were out at a golf course just off the 15 freeway, near Eagle Glenn. We saw the plumes of smoke, and the planes fighting the Yorba Linda fire… I have spotting scopes set up trained on the two hills behind my house.. Prayers are always thrown in your direction Brudda

I was in San Luis Obispo Thursday and Friday on business, and Friday morning, a Wildland Fire broke out west of the101 and burning toward town. I think they were able to get a handle on that one before it reached town, but I left at noon, so I don’t know the outcome.

I drove the 101 south and passed the Santa Barbara fire, and though it appeared to be moving away from homes, the damage had already been done.

I can see the smoke from the Yorba Linda fire, and will need to use an alternate route tomorrow. I also passed the fire off the 210 Friday evening as LA freeways on Friday evenings have a top speed of 12 mph.

We’re cookin’ right now; your prayers are coveted.

I wonder if these fires are a form of protesting a perceived injustice? Just thinking out loud.

Makes ya wonder, what with all the bullshit we're hearing about the *Flaming Queers* and all, and it is NOT out of the question for those SICK fucks to something just that scummy!
