It's burning in Southern California.......

We have one alumna who lost her home and all of her belongings but fortunately she, her husband and their two children are all ok.

My grandparents (85 & 87 yo) live close to the Camp Pendleton fire and fortunately they have not had to evacuate. I kind of think they should get out of there anyway b/c the anxiety of an evacuation would be very hard on my grandpa.

The sky is disgusting by me right now. It is a light orange. Better than yesterday afternoon though. It's amazing that the smell has stopped bothering me.

I can't wait for all of this to be over.

As a total aside, the grocery and MTA strikes are totally back burner news issues now. They got one sentence on the news last night: there is nothing new to report on the two strikes. I just want to be able to shop across the street again and have cleaner air.
