Fires

The damn fires are back.  I told you that it was crazy hot while Matt was here and that was because there were Santa Anna winds - dry hot winds that blow in from the east off the desert.  They heat everything up and dry everything out and make this place a tinderbox.  They are happening again this week and so the fires have started.  Pictures below are taken from my yard of the Fallbook fire.  The scarier one for me is the San Marcos fires -- I could clearly see the flames at night.  I have my car loaded up if I need to make a speedy departure but so far I am lucky.  The Santa Anna's are going to continue through Saturday so I hope my luck continues but if not I am prepared.  I will keep you posted.
