Just wanted to drop a short note that the new greatest and latest Southern California fire is happening within near striking distance of my new home. I am talking about probably 4 miles South or who knows, maybe even a bit less. NOT COOL.
Of course, being who I am, I had to take some pictures.. on my way up to I-14 where I-5 and I-14 split from I-5, the road below, you could see RIGHT THERE within 2-3 blocks some fire. So I decided to take the BRILLIANT IDEA (yeah right) of going I-14, except the fire was happening like right next to it. Probably half a mile up. FUCK. Traffic jammed, I thought this could have turned into one of those "fight or flight" situations.. but I made it through though it did scare me.
Anyway, there's a slight chance at this point that this whole place may burn down. Small but there notheless. I hope this shit is contained.
Oh well, if this came to pass, I guess at least I have my digital camera, my phone at work (which I left yesterday), my laptop and Warcraft 3.
Shit man, good luck. I'd say get your important stuff all rounded up so you can have it out of the house in just a couple minutes, if the need arises. I actually had all my stuff in the car and ready to go during last year's fires.

Looks like it all may be under control.. at least the sky looks better now so... I am going to check some news and see if I can rest.
Thanks for the advice.
