I'm perfectly safe Cylene. I'm sorry. I thought I had said something about it. My apologies. The first fire I spoke of has no way of getting to where I live, and I might as well say that the fire down in Griffith Park cannot get to me either because it's clear down in Southern California -- near North Hollywood. Actually I think Griffith Park may be considered part of North Hollywood. I'm not sure. My aunt and uncle live in North Hollywood and you can see the observatory in Griffith Park from their front porch.
I'm an old softie for all sorts of animals so I'm always worrying about the wildlife with all of these God forsaken wild fires we're having this year. Am beginning to wonder if they will ever end. The weatherman was saying a few days ago that it's dryer here this year than it has been in over 30-40 years! That's why these fires "spark-up" so fast. A person could drop on single hot ash from a cigarette and a huge wild fire could be started from that little, tiny bit of ash right now. I'm sorry I scared you. Did not mean to!
