HI Karen, is your husband a Fireman? My husband is a sargeant for the Sheriff in Orange County (home of Disneyland!)
We have had a horrible fire here today. I think it is about 45 to 50 miles from here but the ash has been falling here all day, it's so hard to breathe and I think the sun was out today but we couldn't see it. They know for sure it was an arsonist and the reward is already set at $100,000. Four firemen died in their fire truck and a fifth is in critical condition. Unfortunately, because this is election time anyone who is running for anything is making statements. It's a pretty sad situation that they are taking advantage of free air time.
My husband's job is about 100 miles or so from the fire and they could smell it there. We are having those Santa Ana winds which it makes it hard to know in what direction the fire came from until you here the news. I am so ready for winter. (We really do not have fall here!) The winds bring the heat back and of course fires. One of the not great parts of California life!
But on a brighter note May is just right around the corner!!
