I know what I'm having for lunch.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They're doing voluntary evacuations about fifteen minutes away from here. The building's quiet, and getting quieter. At least the 118's open. I do wish they'd send us home.
But the facility isn't in danger, so, why bother?
I had Thai leftovers for lunch. They were good. And already paid for.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thai would have been good too.
eta: I have some friends who live in Simi. I hope they are okay.

ita, iffen msbelle doesn't want to mail wings, it's entirely possible that I have a pair. And a fairy costume in general.

I can't imagine having fairy costumes on tap. But I'm glad you do!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
One of my coworkers is home today becaue they may have to evacuate their house if the winds change. Her kids are home from school as their school is directly in the burn path. Scary.

I think the one casualty was a fireman killed by a falling rock -- no civilians have been killed.
There must be a place for up to the minute useful information. I'm just poking around the web aimlessly.
