Good Morning All,

Reporting in from smokey San Diego:

Things are improving in this area, a lot of people now able to go back to their homes. Awoke to cool breezes instead of heat. The air, however, is still pretty bad, I'm staying indoors as much as possible and don't feel really very good. In talking w/ lots of people, that seems to be the case. Breathing all the pollutants is definitely taking it's toll. It's like the oxygen has been sucked out of the air, it leaves you feeling very tired and lethargic.

The Rice Fire in Fallbrook is still the stubborn one at this point, still no one allowed back until they can declare it is safe. They are saying that later today they will start letting people back in. So....we still don't know about my grandson's home. He talked to the Fallbrook Fire Dept. and they think his street is o.k. so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

It continues to be so heartwarming to witness the outpouring of help and support from all over the country. That's what living in the good 'ol U.S.A. is all about: "Love thy fellowman".
Should I get off my podium now? :rolleyes: Seriously, we in SoCal continue to be eternally grateful.

Shirley
