Oh My!

Very dramatic times around here! Santa Barbara- about 28 miles to the north of us and my home for over 25 years- is threatened, nay attacked, by a large out of control wildfire that started a few days ago. It looked like it would be contained but then as the firefighters said "all hell broke loose!" and now over 75 homes have been destroyed. We are safely to the south- the impact to us is a minor degradation of air quality and concern over friends who live in SB. Google Jesusita fire for pictures and current info.

We had our share of much more contained excitement today when a 4.2 earthquake struck not far from us. No damage- just a strong jolt that got every one's attention!

Other than that the weather is nice and warm and sunny and we have a weekend ahead of us!
