Thanks Nicole!

Most fires right in this area are better and so is the air. You can still smell smoke and it still gives you a headache and sore throat, but not nearly as bad as yesterday. There are a couple new fires that are near the big power transformers for the area so they are worried about power and warning that we need to conserve. But other than that it looks like things are getting under control. There are still tons of people homeless in shelters and it's just so sad.

I feel so blessed that everyone in our family is OK. As far as I know, no one lost their home, but we can't be sure until some of them are let back into areas that still have mandatory evacuation orders.

So unless something new develops or I have to go help family, I'm back at work today.
Thanks so much Larry for taking care of everything while I was gone.
