RE: So Cal Fires - was now members missing

The most recent set of fires near me are mostly contained but sadly there were
homes burned. We didn't get any smoke from them here. But last Monday I went
with my friend to the South Coast Botanic Garden, near the beach in Los
Angeles, and they had one of the major freeways shut down along our way
because of one fire. Took us 45 minutes to get through that traffic jam. I
thought, I sure hope they have that open when we are coming home. But on the
way home not only was that same freeway closed but another major artery, this
one going west, was also closed due to a different fire. What a mess!
We did have a nice time at the garden, there was enough blooming to make it
worthwhile. And we spent about 2 hours at the beach in the late afternoon. I
dozed in my lounge chair while my friend investigated the tide pools. It was
miserably windy at home (thus the fires) but very very nice at the beach.
Wish us luck this weekend...we are closing up the camp in the mountains...it
was this time last year when we had our Very Bad Day trying to get home from
there while half of So Cal was on fire.

Years ago I did a member off line information list.  Maybe it is time to
update it?  When I looked for Scottie's info, I realized it is outdated and
just like Scottie, many didn't respond.  I do understand that it is personal
info and many might not want it known, although only Pam and I had the list.
If anyone wants to update or added to the list, feel free to send me the info
*OFF LIST*.

I did email Scottie but who knows if it is the current email address and my
mail program takes awhile to tell me if the message bounced.

And what about our west coast friends?  Anyone live in the current fire area
or the dust/smoke fall out?

No Donna, I wish I did.  I have been very concerned about her also.  There
were pictures of Galveston in the Paper the other day, Clinton and Bush 1
were down there and both have asked that people chip in to help as much as
they can right now.  It's still a real mess on the coast.
