Tuesday Update from Topanga

Good morning everyone. All's well in our neck of the woods, in fact we are having a bit of a forced vacation. Originally you could leave the area and return with local IDs but now if you leave you can't come back in for some strange reason. I feel sorry for the early evacuees who have been away from home since Sunday, especially all the families with little kids. (Claire and kids returned yesterday because it was so stressful having the kids out of their familiar routine. So we're all "stuck" in our canyon.) Rumor has it that fires like this pull the crazies out of the cracks and the powers that be are afraid of other fires being set in our canyon(?) Not sure that makes sense after three days but that is the way things are right now.

The winds seem to have died down, which has been a major factor, but the heat is climbing to the upper 90s today and the actual fire is only 10% contained, so we still have some waiting and watching till this is over.
