We have the first wildfire of the season. It is just northeast of Los
Angeles, about 1000 people evacuated right now. The hillsides are in a
popular hiking area, and Boy Scouts had to be evacuated from their
weekend camp. This is an area that has not burned in about 40 years.
They anticipate it will take 2-3 days to get under control.

The temp right now is just over 90 here on the coast. Yesterday it
reach 98.

There is an ugly old wife's tale that this is good earthquake weather.

Hope that you are far away from the fire and smoke.

We got a whiff of it last evening. Nothing going on here though. The
news had a story of some couple having a wedding up in the area and 50
people had to be air lifted out. (a dog too) They are off to a hot
start. It is supposed to cool off so that should help the firefighters.
I guess it is an area that has 40 years of growth. Hopefully there
are enough firefighters to really hit it hard and get control.

Early sunday mornings seem like earthquake time to me, I am not sure
if I am an old enough wife though to start my own tale.

The Whittier quake in 1988 I was at work in downtown Los Angeles, the
Northridge quake in 1994 was on Martin Luther King Day, the Loma
Prieta up near Oakland in 1989 or 1990 I was at work in Los Angeles.
Those are the last 3 big ones, but not the only big ones I have been
here for.

Idiot wedding party, it was strongly suggested they leave, but the
manadatory evacuation didn't include their area. Today they had to
make five dangerous helicopter flights to get everyone out from that
party.

Weather report I heard says it will be cooler a few degrees tomorrow,
then much cooler on tuesday. Good thing. They will have the air
conditioning off in the courthouse tomorrow. Sigh.....
