Things are all right. I'm a couple streets in from Mount Wilson. There have been evacuations nearby, but I've been able to stay at home. Sunday night was the worst, when I could see the flames illuminating the bottom of smoke clouds, just a couple of ridges back. There is lots of ash, and the air quality is very poor. I think the worst is over, humidity is up considerably. Thanks for asking.

I believe Lee Poulsen and Tom Glavich must be really close to the fires in the Los Angeles area and at the very least be dealing with a lot of smoke. It would be a relief to hear from some of you that things are all right. Mary Sue
