It smells like a smokehouse BBQ...

My friend Carla, who lives in Texas, always calls when we have a fire, earthquake, or any other newsworthy event in Los Angeles. And most of the time, I tell her that it's far away, didn't really cause that much damage, or how I'm just not affected that much. But since last week, the latest fire has spread across the southland and burned down a lot of people's homes. It's also caused damage to a lot of other homes and structures. And of course, tens of thousands of people have evacuated their homes. Anthony's sisters and family members who live in Chino Hills (one of the major fire areas), have left their home and is living with relatives in Fontana (far east). There are fires to the North of me (in the valley), South of me (Brea, Anaheim, Orange County), East (Chino Hills, Diamond Bar)...and the skies are a heavy, foggy gray. It's hard to breathe when you're outside!



(But it hasn't stopped us from going to a Kings game last night...Lynn had box seats and VIP parking! And today, we went to the grand opening of Urth Caffe's new downtown location and HQ! Will Ferrell was there too...sat right next to us...so of course, I've been saying I had breakfast with Will Ferrell!) Free food and drinks...I love it!
