The winds blew all night and everything is white, I didn't
close a kitchen window and now I have a kitchen to clean
(girl friend I hope).

I keep the scanner on all night and they fought all night but
just keep losing house.

They do have the planes in the air but if the winds get up to
high they ground the planes.

I have to go to Riverside for a few hours and I'll be back
with a update.

Some of those fires are in my old stomping grounds. Sad. But there are always
fires in those places, every decade or three.

The worst So Cal fires were in the late 1930s. Every mountain seemed to be on
fire. But now there are more people building more houses where there shouldn't
be any houses and any fire becomes a conflageration.

A bit of trivia. The correct name for those hot, dry, i.e., "devil" winds off
the desert is Santana, not Santa Ana.

Apparently, the dust bowl and WWII boom immigrants had never heard of the
renegade Apache or knew what his name meant, but they knew of the town (or
river) by the name of Santa Ana.

One can't blame them, though. Native Californians like myself spoke in what was
called the California mumble. The newbies apparently misunderstood what we were
saying and thought we were mumbling Santa Ana when we really did say Santana.

By the way... Good luck to you, Burr. I have kids, grandkids, and in-laws out
there in threatened places. Some are already having to evacuate.

Because of that, I've become the contact point for them to report in their
status. Their moving around makes it impossible for them to contact each other.

Brother Stair is in fine form again, shouting about the fires right now.
He's speculating that fires are the precursor to the deaths of Pope John
Paul, Mr. Ronald Reagan and "somebody else". These deaths will be a
human sacrafice so the Devil can come back and walk the Earth.

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A HOLLOWEEN LIKE THIS ONE BEFORE!!!!

The California mudslides back in the late 60s meant pretty much the same
thing for a few of the people in my Church, as I remember from my Sunday
School days.

That's the End Times for ya. They never really end.

YUP,
I'm here for half an hour.

The smoke is wearing me out.

I'm on the valley floor at the west end of the Ont. airport
so I should be OK. The smoke and ash is on everything.
