I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Amy, because it started by one of the national forest ranger stations, or so I'm told.

We lost power this morning (lots of the power lines run through the area that is on fire). But it might be something else as there was a giant popping noise.

We're dogsitting K's friend's dog who lives up there.

And two of the school districts up there are closed today even though today was supposed to be opening day.

Because books.

Ah. Thanks, Kat. What a scary thing.

Some scaryass pictures from around JPL are making the rounds here.

Angry chickadee season appears to have started.

We're fine, minus the terrible smoke. Grace's facility is closer(like maybe 5 miles) and through a dry canyon (one that had a small fire last year). If they had to evacuate, which I hope they won't, Grace is at least stable enough and no longer vent-dependent that it wouldn't be super harrowing. In fact, their evacuation plan is that if they have to go, then they send kids to local hospitals that have available space. Grace would no longer have to be in a PICU as she no longer has a ventilator.

sarameg, I know some projects sent equipment out to be saved just in case. I think some went to you all. Or at least JHU.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I just quit my job.

That's quite a Monday morning announcement!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whoah.

I am hoping this is a good thing!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Eek! But you are the best judge of that, and given the troubles and frustrations you've alluded to, I can't blame you!
