Very cool.

How's the fires out in CA? Affect you at all?

The fires are bad! No getting me or the kids. Both daughters and their
husbands live in SoCal, but within 4 blocks of the ocean. My daughters
college roommate and her husband live in Ramona, and they do not know about
their house, but the in-laws house burned and a brother in law is a fireman
and came near to death when a fire overtook the truck. They escaped but
another crew from the same station was caught and are in coma's in the
hospital. We left Long Beach on Monday and came up 101. The winds near
Malibu were at least 70 mph comig out of the draws. Did not get out of the
smoke until Pismo Beach. Problem is 150 years of fire mismanagement and
winds and low life arsonists. Lots of the fires most likely are arson.
Thanks for asking.
