For those who are concerned for us here in California, we have not been in imminent danger from these fires. However, we are surrounded by them. There are two big ones up in the mountains to the East of us, a couple of big ones in San Diego to the South of us, several are to the West of us. The news is saying that the fire in Irvine and San Diego were started by arsenists. They have not been caught yet.

The air quality for us, however, was VERY dangerous on Sunday and Monday. In fact we saw ash falling from the sky on Monday. Tuesday and Yesterday it cleared up a little. Today it is back to being pretty bad. We can't really do anything outside. It's pretty bad.
We are safe and appreciate the concerns. These are just a couple of pictures from msnbc.com. I'm sure there are tons on the web.
