Wow, I didn't realize the fires (or at least the smoke) was so close to you this year. Over the last couple of years I have come to think that maybe the fires are an even better reason than the quakes not to live in California. I mean you can predict the fires, about like clockwork. Which would scare the poop out of me!
But what do I know? I live far, far away...
