with the smoke and fires? You safe and healthy? I’m going home early today 'cause we’re closing early due to our fires. Might be gone for a couple of days, 'til they get a handle on the fires here. ---

Thanks guys!! I thought the LA fires would be worse than they were and would effect Jas. I got through mostly with an unplanned vacation. One of the fires (the Harris, named after the Harris Ranch) started about 18 miles West of me and got blown 50 miles West to the populated areas. Where I was, I didn’t even see smoke until Thursday when the winds shifted to the East, then that was only from about 2:00 PM until about 6:00 PM. As soon as they indicated my area was threatened, my phone lit up with offers from friends to stay at their place. One of the people I work with had their parents lose their house in the fire. For me, the fires 4 years ago were worse, I was without power for 5 days. The odd thing is, I live in a “fire prone” area with lots of brush, and Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch (considered the most affluent neighborhood in the US, Bill Gates has 2 houses there) is all golf courses and concrete, yet they burned in the Witch (creek) fire, while my neighborhood should have been the one to burn, in both fires (the Harris and 4 years ago, the Cedar fire). Go figure. ---

Glad to see you are allright and suffered no fire damage. Just watching it on the news and knowing people are in some of those places was very frightning. Tisha ---

Thanks guys!! The latest numbers say that the area burned so far in just my county is 1/2 the area of state of Rhode Island, about 1/3 of our county.😮
