sorry to post about the same thing for a second time... but my dad just called with an update, and it's got me pretty worried now. at this point, there are 14 separate wildfires in southern california... and they've just evacuated tons of houses in the town next to ours. my friend peter's back yard is on fire and they're trying to keep it from reaching his/the neighbors' houses. they've closed down one of the highways that runs through my town b/c the smoke is too thick to see enough to drive, and ashes are falling on our street. so far authorities say my town is still okay... but we have several close friends who've already had to evacuate. so... yeah, please keep praying about it.

well, my subdivision didn't get hit, which is awesome. but we had several family friends who had minor-to-severe property damage, which is less awesome. as far as i know, nobody that we know lost their house or anything, but there's a lot of smoke/ash damage all over the place. plus... plenty of people we don't know definitely got it a lot worse.

and james-- you use other people's blogger names a lot. what's the deal, yo?

yeah, bout that. I tend to blog at the guys house, thus I type my comment, hit enter, and find out which blogger I will be that day. I guess no one logs off. It's sort of a fun game really. Glad to hear your family's ok.
