2. Yeah.
Hopefully the Santa Ana Winds will stop so they can get some containment on the fires. It has been downright ugly the past few days with the wind.

4. Does it wildfire every year out there?
It was doing this last fall, too, I think, wasn't it?

Wildfires, earthquakes, land/mudslides...crazy. :(

5. Pretty much.
We really are a desert, but people insist upon growing things like grass and trees here.

7. You used to live in Minnesota, correct?
I cannot imagine going from MN to SoCal...I think I would blow a gasket. It might be even worse than going from ME to SoCal.

It's a lot harder to hate on SoCal when it's warm there in March while I'm up to my ankles in mud, though. :D

6. Yeah
I am not sure I really want to be outside right now anyways, since it is in the mid 90s today.

12. Thanks
I-5 is closed near the San Fernando Valley. So travel to places north are nearly impossible.
