San Diego in Fire

Just a quick update everybody, I was evacuated at about 5:30am this morning due to the wildfires here in San Diego. As of 10am PT, one fire is about 2 miles directly north of my apartment building and moving quickly south. Conditions are just now allowing aircraft in the area to fight the fires or at least maintain some kind of perimeter. I’m safely at work and have offers to stay at other employee’s homes if needed. They’ve asked us to stay off our cell phones, but you can call me at work 858-650-6042. I’ll call Dad thoughout the day just to check in. So everybody pray the winds change and move back northward!
Love you all!

SNOW! In October!

Since none of you could possibly have been watching the game yesterday, I’ll try to paint you a picture with words. And with pictures.

Imagine it being cloudy and cold at the beginning of the game, but then the sun comes out, and you think things are going pretty well. Then it gets cloudy again, but, you know, it’s not too bad. Then it starts to rain, and it’s pretty cold, but still. And then the snow starts to come down. And it keeps coming and coming. Imagine a fourth quarter that looks something like this:

I haven’t watched the game yet, but the replay board was useless; you couldn’t see a thing on it. And you couldn’t see any lines on the field. It was pretty crazy. But at least we won!
