I hope it's not too early to say how releived and grateful I am that everyone I know, affected by -omg- almost every one of the many fires in So.Cal have come thru unscathed and with hearth and home undamaged.

I feel so helpless .... being, as I am, in what seems likely the area furthest from any flames in the enitre southern half of the state.


My fervent wishes for continued good fortune to everyone.

I second this. My stomach was all twisted in knots yesterday and I resented being at work. It sucks feeling so completely useless, but I too am glad that so far everyone is well. And I'm also grateful to all those who were able to offer assistance and support.

I know the feeling. I'm so dying to drive some donations to the shelters in San Diego (they need it the most), yet I don't want to crowd the roads or get in the way.

Hmmm. Apparently Malibu is not out yet.

Gotta love NBC. :rolleyes:

If it is material donations, call them up and see if they will accept them via mail.

The USPS has flat rate boxes that holds a ton of stuff and are I think about $7.50.

What I've seen from TV broadcasts here is the Red Cross prefers cash donations then they can direct them more easily to the areas/shelters that need things.

Well, to friends. Just not yet to family, or in the workplace. Give it time.

Hee!

Ok, every time I hear about the Buckweed fire on the TV, I can't help but think, "It'll be o'tay!" And then I think about Otay down in San Diego.

I have a weird mind.

I want a Spanky fire.
