8/8/2018 1 Comment Of Smoke and AshesFires still rage nearby. Smoke is moving in overhead. I feel trepidation. It could happen here. It's about 1pm and outside it is growing dark. It feels a bit like doom is coming.
The likelihood of the fire reaching my neighborhood is allegedly slim. I am expected an out of town guest for the night. I resisted the impulse to call her and say don't come. But no doubt she is already here fulfilling some obligations and commitments. I flash on the possibility we could be evacuating together. And then I shake it off. Go on with your day. Write a blog or two. Take a shower and get ready for my friend's arrival. Then I think I should probably fill the car with gas. Just in case. I can't imagine those in imminent danger, what they are feelings right now as they rush to gather treasured items, pets, children and more...if they are given the chance. But then I can imagine...and it is downright scary. And here I sit. Thank goodness for those who are fighting the good fight on all of our behalves.

Two nights ago and last night (from our back deck) we saw flames leaping in the air and heard the planes flying most of the night. Lots of smoke and ash still present. It is over Lake Elsinore in the Ortegas. We used to drive that road to Capistrano. It is amazing how miles away we are affected. Keeping air on!!
