The fires in Southern CA have touched everyone
here in some way. "Bud had to evacuate
his house, so he jumped into his motorhome and parked
somewhere. Mike is on
voluntary evacuation after evacuating the first time to his
boat. They are not supposed to use their cell phones so
we try not to call them but let them call/email us. As
far as the rest of us we are fine but the air here is getting
worse as of this morning on the drive into work..."

Ocean - October 22th, 2007 "We all know of someone who lost a house in
this tragedy. I offer a few pictures, from my trip on my
friends Destroyer, the USS Howard, sailing from San Diego to
Seal Beach (LA County). Some pictures of the smoke were
from 17 miles out to sea, the rest are from one of the
ports. The smoke at sea was so thick that it looked as
if it was snowing. For some reason all of the ash was
coming down where we were sailing."
