Default Yesterday was a really, really bad day!

Yesterday Anne Marie thought she was having a heart attack. The paramedics came at 2:15 PM and took her to USC Verdugo Hills Hospital Emergency. . It was a false alarm and now she's home and resting comfortably. Our new worry is the fire. It started about a mile from our house and burned away in two directions. The wind must have shifted, because it's at the crest of the Verdugos right in back of us. I can see the flames. Nonstop air tanker activity. I'm going to the USC game, but I'm prepared to come home if the flames get close. I told Anne Marie to get the Corvette out of the garage and make sure the dogs are safe and secure if the flames get close.

It doesn't look like the fire will affect us and firefighters seem to be getting it under control. The smoke is awful!

SO glad to hear Anne Marie is okay. Those fires are scary. BC is just getting pummeled. So surreal. A friend of mine was in the Kootenays this weekend and took a photo of a very smoky mountain range...12 hours later it was engulfed in flames.

Glad to hear that you are both o.k. Where my mom is in Washington she is not threatened by the flames but the high temperature and the smoke is making it difficult for her to breathe.

Also noting that some of the smoke may have "good smoke" in it
