Not to worry, B, the three fires raging through San Diego County were more inland. With La Jolla being on the coast, it's safe from flames way, although it's been plagued like the rest of us with poor air quality due to smoke.

I don't know all the details about the rest of the fires in California, but the Cedar Fire, the largest of them, is the one that posed danger to me here in San Diego County. A lost hunter who set a signal fire so someone could find him caused it. I guess I'd rather it be unintentional, even if it was stupid, than arson, like they suspect up Violet's way and with some of the other fires in the state. The hunter was cited and might face more severe charges in the future – after all, he's killed 14 people so far and totally demolished thousands of homes with his little signal fire.

Sorry you're getting our smoke - today was the first day that we've had semi-safe air quality and you could actually see the sky instead of the orange smokey haze hanging low.

The smoke from the fires has reached AZ and we are under an air alert of some kind. I'm glad this library is not to far from my home. I was going to stay in and avoid the air but after watching a movie and cleaning up my apt. I ran out of thing to do so I returned the movie here and logged on. I'm deeply concerned that my old neighborhood in La Jolla may suffer from this fire. I still have the pictures from the '70s but I'm praying that area will be spared. Otherwise,what are happy memories will become bittersweet. My prayers go out to all who've suffered from this and they also go for finding the men responsible for this and punishing them to the fullest extent of mortal law.
