Hey Corey, I heard you guys were evacuated. All okay?

I spoke with Corey this morning about something totally unrelated, and fire evacuation did not come up. I’d take this as a good sign.

However, if he were evacuated, how would he respond? Only in the OC do the Red Cross shelters have wi-fi.

Friday night, we had some friends over for drinkin’ round the fire pit. Around midnight, we noticed the fire. Here’s a photo (10-second exposure) from my driveway. We’re safe, miles away from the fires, the photo just looks gnarly.

That is an amazing shot.

Long exposures give everything a certain level of amazingness. They are way more gooder. Some would say they’re the most bestest.

The people who would say that need editing.

…and the invoice is already in the mail, Zackie!

No ways, IC peeple tipeing bad as helllz around her allda time.

Aly do good editoring! I testimony her.

Just checking in- was in DC all last week and got off a plane on Saturday just in time to swap out clean underwear in my suitcase and evacuate. Good times.

We didn’t run too much of a risk of fire damage to our house, but it was like being around my house on a reeeeaallly foggy day. Except the fog is actually smoke. That burns your eyes. And can kill.

We’re home now. And by “we’re”, I mean “they’re” home now. I’m up in Central CA (San Luis Obisbo this morning) winding my way back down to OC.

Glad you’re safe. It still reeks of smoke throughout the Brea area, but Beth has worked her magic in your house, and it was loverly.
