  1. I'm so proud of my city right now. There is so much destruction and just

    awful, awful news here but everywhere I look I see people helping each other.

    The entire city has closed down - schools, banks, mail, trash collection, etc.

    There are evacuation sites set up all over the western county. At first, they

    had to keep moving them because the fires kept coming further and further west!

    I feel so fortunate that my little neighborhood has not had to evacuate. There

    have literally been evacuations completely surrounding us. We had one scare and were ready to go, but then it got called off. Our things are still by the door, and cars packed, just in case. So many people have not been so lucky. And

    I worry for all of the animals and livestock. There are lots and lots of horses

    in east county. I've seen people on the news who can't find their horses.

    But this town has really pulled together during this crisis. I saw it happen during

    the '03 fires, too.


  2. My town goes back to the Roman times and i recently went to see a Roman villa which was being excavated nearby when they demolished some buildings to make room for a shopping mall,and there are prehistoric standing stones close by ,a smaller version of Stonehenge

    ^ No kidding, Christine? How cool! They didn't demolish those did they?!

    Well, I visit "Old Town" on a regular basis. Best margaritas and

    chips & salsa around. LOL Seriously, I have not been to the Mission

    since the kids were in grade school. It's not very far from where I

    live. I really should go back one day soon. It's very beautiful.


  3. 1. When people pronounce "nuclear" incorrectly (like Dubya does)

    2. When people carry on "outside" conversations when you're talking

    to them on the phone. I already don't like to talk on the phone, and

    this just makes me want to hang up

    3. People who talk during a movie in the theater (my sister does this and

    it drives me nuts)

    3 things you love about October?
