We’re fine

I’ve been hearing from folks who are aware that I’m based in Southern California, and are concerned.

We’re not in the San Diego area, where the worst of it is. We’re further north, in the greater Los Angeles district. We did have a fire close enough that it was filling the sky with smoke and making everything very eerie, but that fire has been extinguished. The nearest fire now is the one in the Malibu area, and that’s close to 20 miles away. The air quality ain’t what we’d want it to be, but we’re not at risk, not likely to be evacuated.

So thanks for the concerns, but there are people who really deserve it. I’m not sure what you can do to help, except perhaps blow against the prevailing wind.
