thanks Nick, Thanks for asking. Cheryl & the kids & pets are with Cheryl's mom in her mobile home along el camino real, in a more urban part of Encinitas. All are fine.
Last night I stood on the hilltop behind my home, looking up Lone Jack Road at hillside lines of fire near Del Dios Highway. It was tense, especially with Santa Ana wind gusts whirling in all directions. Last I checked at 5pm the fires seemed to have veered south into lower Rancho Santa Fe (2nd richest community in America). Another finger threatens from the north but the Bridges country club is paying big $$ to help block it for us. Nice of them. With the family cared-for, I put on my green CERT* vest & goggles and hard hat to canvassed our neighborhood to see who had stayed. Then I helped man a sheriffs roadblock for a while. And again a while later with the natural er National Guard. Ever wonder what happened to civil defense, in an era of high techHomelandSecurity? Its guys like me heaven help us! d. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
