Boy am I glad we don't have TV

I'm sure we'd just be glued to it watching people's houses burn down. The internet is bad enough.

So far, we're not in immediate fire danger. There are a lot of houses and highways between us and the fires. It's getting smokier all the time. Monday we went to the zoo and I was coughing and wheezing for the rest of the day. Yesterday we had swim class, hit the Trader Joe's, then came home and stayed in. It smells pretty strongly of smoke even inside now. I hit my inhaler last night before I went to bed. A seems mostly unaffected. He's not getting as much outside time as he normally gets, so we're getting a little cabin-punchy here. Let's hope for rain and less wind.

C's been off work this week; we'll see if he makes it in today. His workplace is closer to the evacuated areas than I would like.

Fires and excitement and more

I knew Dumbledore was gay since J. K. put him in a purple velvet suit to pick up old Voldy from the orphanage.

There are fires in SD county right now, and the only place I've found that gives a nice comprehensive map is here. There's a lot that would need to be burned through before we'd get evacuated. I'm actually more concerned about the Wild Animal Park right now since it's close to them, but being all by itself with a lot of land in the high desert I'm hoping they have well-laid plans for fires.

We took A out on a boat at the Maritime Museum yesterday and followed it up with ribs. Boy does he like ribs. Little carnivore.
