MG, thanks. I've just posted a thread and only just now saw this
one that you've started.
Yes it's outta control. Is your sister okay?
My alarm clock is tuned to the radio and I was shocked awake this
morning. The fire that started a couple of days ago has become a
raging inferno. It's bad. All day long on TV we've been seeing
homes burning to the ground. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Towns to
the east of us have been evacuated and we are waiting to see if
we're next. We can't flee up north because the 5 and the 15 are
blocked either by fires up there or by traffic. It's bad. Del Mar,
La Jolla and Carlsbad residents have been told to evacuate just a
few hours ago.
Here's a funny tale. This morning as I was getting ready for work
(just in case), I heard the mayor saying that we should all stay
put and not go to work or school. I called my HR dept and they told
me to stay put. Come 1030am, I get a call from a co-worker and
she's asking me, how I was, etc. Then she asked, where are you?
When I told her I was home, she asked, why? I told her my
conversation with HR and she laughed. Sears never closes she said.
Not even on the day of the 9/11 attacks! So I went to work 2 hours
late. Can you believe that I sold two appliances this morning?!??
Anyway, our weathermen say that the Santa Anas show no signs of
abating until Wednesday so we shall see what the new day brings.
Thanks for checking up on me MG.
