Stupid Fires
So Santa Cruz is on F-ing fire AGAIN. I don't remember Santa Cruz ever being on fire until this year and now we're losing houses and homes left and right. It totally sucks. I feel so badly for those families, and there's nothing I can do for them, and it completely stresses me out. On top of that, one of my readers is from Bonny Doon, where the fire is, and she is surely evacuated. Leslie, just know I'm thinking about you and crossing my fingers for you and your family and your home. And hoping that I'm totally remembering it wrong, that you're NOT from Bonny Doon. (I always get Bonny and Ben Lomond confused!) Posted by Pischina at June 11, 2008 10:56 PMComments
Thanks for the good wishes ... yesterday was a total freak-out, as I was in Santa Cruz and happened to see the smoke from the fire up on the mountain probably just as it started, about 3 p.m. I called home immediately - Wayne was there, and he said the fire looked to be just over the ridge. I asked him to put all our photo albums in his truck, and to make sure the cats stay in the house in case we have to leave in a hurry. Fortunately (for us anyway) we seem to be upwind from the fires, about five miles away. The smoke column is HUGE, though, and the evacuation center is at the middle school where our daughters used to go ... just down the road from our house. This is so scary - it's only JUNE, and already this is happening. We won't have rain here again until October or November .... Posted by: Leslie at June 12, 2008 5:14 AMPost a comment
