For the last 36 hours I have been holed up with my family in our Encinitas home. We've been given an advisory evacuation order and packed our car with our worldly possessions in order to prepare for a flight from the Witch Creek Fire (the coolest sounding fire of all - "I cast Witch Creek Fire on your mage!"). Thank bob the residents of quite nearby Olivenhain have been permitted to go back to their homes. It appears that we're gonna be ok right now. Phew.
This whole ordeal has led me to realize many things, but the most important lesson was taught to me by Department of Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff when he said, "Nobody does disasters like California."
...
Yikes, Chertoff. Yikes.
Other horrible news: 21,000 Avocado trees burned in San Diego. Each tree yields 550 avocados! That's 11,550,000 delicious, fatty avocados. Avocado prices will be soaring. Bummerrrrr.
On another note, I saw a news piece on a forum of wives of Presidential candidates, and Cindy McCain looked like the living dead. she's an attractive old lady, but she pulls it off so well that it gives me heebie jeebs. Her clothes and hair belongs to a 25-year-old. Her face, under the lighting, belonged to the army of the dead. An eerie combination.
