Fire, again

It is once again fire season in California, and the main fire of note is in the area where much of the Peanuts work is done. As you’ll see below, the museum is within the evacuation area, and will be closed until, well, at least until it isn’t. It’s toward the edge of the currently evacuated zones, and not that close to the actual fires. However, winds will continue, and the evacuation zones represent areas of concern.

I have heard from some of the Peanuts folks, who have appropriately left the area. Folks are being real organized about things this time.

If anyone’s wondering about the AAUGH headquarters here, we’re fine, no major fires in the area at the moment. Dangerous conditions are forecast for mid-week; we shall see what is to come.
