In the Words of Beavis… “Fire! Fire!”
- October 23rd, 2007
It’s getting a little warm here, in case you hadn’t heard. My internet connection is intermittent, so you may get a reprieve from our endless book promotions. 
I joke a bit because that’s how I deal with stress. My heart goes out to these people… they’re saying close to half a million people have been evacuated and the fire is likely to reach the coast. Scary. My friends have called to tell me that they’ve evacuated but to make matters worse, my cell phone has stopped working. It won’t hold a charge so no one can call, no one can text… it’s frustrating. If anyone is trying to reach me, the best way is via email, instant message or work line, but sadly, those are dependent on my internet connection which may or may not play nicely.
It’s supposed to be a scorcher here today, too. 91 degrees on the coast, which is ridiculous for late October. So now on top of raging wild fires, there is potential for brown-out.
Those who don’t live in California are often so afraid of the earthquakes. “How can you live in California?! Aren’t you afraid you’re going to break off into the ocean?” Psssh! Earthquakes schmerthquakes. It’s the fires and mudslides you need to be worried about.

got one of your own? share it.
Take care, Joelle. Hope things in Cali settle down very soon.
Stay safe! I hope they can get it under control soon!!! Are the winds and heat supposed to break tomorrow?
I was perusing through various news outlets last night, reading about what is going on out there. The photos are devastating, and awful to look at. I cannot imagine.. how awful. Sure hope you stay safe.
I can’t believe how many fires are down there! So many areas have been evacuated, it’s crazy. I hope that the fires stay away from your part of town. There’s some fires near here too, but luckily far enough away–the air is still a bit gross though.
Stay safe!
Eeek! Stay safe out there. That’s so scary!
Thought of you today while having lunch… the news was on all the tv’s they had going. Stay safe out there, I hope they get it under control soon!
InDEED. I asked Lyn about you and Mikey today, and she assumed you guys are in a good spot. But I hadn’t thought about all the extra fun stuff that comes with this sort of thing, like phone issues and power outages.
Be safe…we’re all thinking about you guys right now. Much of my family is running away to Kansas this week for some reason. (;)) You’re more than welcome to run here, too. More than enough room, especially for a hottie authoresse like yourself.
I thought of you and Mikey since this started. Stay safe.
Yikes! How close is it to you? Be careful. Maybe just a little singe on the eyebrows of “King” Stahlman would be fun. The “Prince” would enjoy that.
So terrible, those fires. I hope you stay safe.
man, i’ve been thinking of you when i was watching the news… i hope they’re gonna be able to control the fires soon! i’m coming to southern california for the first time in less than three weeks and i really hope this won’t be one of my main memories of the trip… STAY SAFE!
