well, it seems like the fire(s) have died down somewhat, but i don't want to be too optimistic yet, just in case. but i'm not as freaked out as i was earlier. at least i know what i would take if we're ever told to evacuate. i've made a mental list of the things i'm going to take and in what order i would take them.

in other news, i had a wonderful afternoon and evening with chi and chris yesterday. i will blog about this later though when things are more calm.
