"only you can prevent forest fires"

After seeing Clancy's comment asking about the fires, I thought I would let you (at most 5) people know what's up... So far things are going pretty well for me. The fires got about 5 or so miles away the other day, but there is freeway between here and there that would have most likely stopped it, so I wasn't too worried. Monday was really smokey and it rained ash for quite a while, but today the air was a lot cleaner, and the headlines said they are starting to get a hold on things, so hopefully it will all be over soon. For a cool map of the situation, check this out. It's updated pretty frequently too, so I've been using that a lot to see if I need to evacuate or anything. It's far from over yet, but unless another fire starts in the middle of everything, I think I should be fine. I hope the other people can fare as as well as I have.
