Fire Day

Sounds like a title to an episode of "The Office."

I got sent home at 11AM today because one of the DOZEN wildfires that are ravaging Southern Cal right now was pretty close to my office. Close enough that flames could be seen. I'm still about three miles or so from that, so...oh wait, that's pretty close.

Anyways, check the news. It's pretty freakin unbelievable.

The locals tell me that this isn't that unusual though. Fire season. It's just usually not this close to homes.

Oh, and the winds don't help. I was driving home from Vegas yesterday morning, and apparently there were 85mph winds coming out of the canyon. That's hurricane force!! Yikes.
