This will probably make it quite obvious that I am not that hot on American geography, hmm wonder why! but is anyone here affected by those dreadful fires in California at the moment. Wow, they are shocking. New South Wales and California unfortunately have one thing very much in common - bushfires. This State has been in drought over winter and this summer well, who knows.......anyway just curious. Hilary

Hope her area is safe and controlled now hon ..
Lucky her for being able to get her *special* possessions out!


As for Mae and Cappy .. I believe Mae is more towards Northern Calif.
Could be very wrong though ..
Cappy, I don't remember :(

**For sure Hugs. Friends of ours were evacuated from their home but have returned and are OK. It is just horrendous to see on the news. You just can't believe these fires were started deliberately! Ash everywhere.....know what that is like too, the hospitals will be full of people with breathing difficulties. Thank God that cooler and milder weather is predicted for the next few days and maybe they will be able to get them under control. Hilary

No, we're fine Hil...Cappy's actually my "neighbor" up in the Northern California foothills. But oh...those poor people...I guess it's just getting worse and worse. The air quality is terrible, and they are saying that the farther away you are, the worse it could get because the particles get smaller and you can ingest them. I hope everyone down there wears masks!

Pray for rain!!!

ps...knock on wood that we don't get fires up here. A lot of our firemen are down helping out in so cal.

**I thought I remembered that you were close. Phew, glad to hear you are OK.

You have about 10,000 fire fighters fighting there they said on the news, and even then not enough....like here.

Have a good day Mae. Hilary
