Charlie, Are you anywhere near the fires?

Nope, not this round. If I was still in Irvine, I would have a great
view of the Santiago fire, and I looked at a lot houses up there in
foothill ranch. I also worked on the Foothill toll road that the fire
is buring around.

For the bad days, here in the desert, the weather was beautiful. No
wind, warm but not hot, dry, just gorgeous. I invited any of my
co-workers that needed clean air to take a drive on out, but got no
takers. Wednesday, went up on the tram, and could just see the smoke of
the Arrowhead and running springs fires.

Yesterday, it got a little gray in the afternoon, and today we can smell
it, but it isn't too bad. It was last year that we had fires out in
this area, but even then, we are in true desert. There isn't enough to
burn out here to really get a good firestorm started.

The smoke reached Phoenix on Wednesday.
