No Evacuation

Just a very quick note to say we're just fine and weren't evacuated yesterday. Several areas here in Calabasas and nearby communities were but the firefighters were successful in keep the big fire here (20,000 acres burned thus far) on the north side of the freeway so we were able to ride it out here at home.

The air is still full of smoke but ash isn't currently falling and at least today we can see the sun. It was a bit surreal to be watching the news reports yesterday and seeing them show nearby streets we are familiar with and flames shooting up behind the homes there. They are advising people here to stay indoors today and school is cancelled for a second day.

Now I've got to get busy and tackle some of the things I didn't get done yesterday before I get any further behind. Thanks to everyone who called or emailed yesterday to check on us!
