We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yeah, the photos from LA are scary. I texted an old friend who lives in Topanga canyon and she said they got evacuated this morning. At least they were able to get the cat as well.

'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"

I've seen updates from various LA Buffistas on Fbook, but the situation can change at any time if a new fire starts.

In much-lesser Me news: I picked up my used 2020 Subaru Crosstrek on Monday night, and have driven it to work and back. Was so tired and stressed that I haven't wanted to drive it anywhere else, even if I need groceries. Just the thought of walking any distance in 20F with 20mph winds (like from a parking lot) is Too Much.

Please stay safe!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I picked up my used 2020 Subaru Crosstrek on Monday night

It has a heated steering wheel, right? I'm jealous!

Nice. I really like my Outback.

Our wings are not tired.

Subarus are well loved by those I have know with them.

Sending all manner of ~ma to my loved ones in the burning regions. So scary! I appreciate the updates.

Yeah, the fires look terrible. Really scary stuff. Hope everyone is okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wildfire season continues to get more and more frightening every year. I know all of our LA-istas have evac plans, but I hope none of you have to use them.

My 2017 Subaru doesn't have a heated steering wheel! I feel cheated! (If only the driver who hit our old Subaru head-on and totaled it had waited three years...)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Fires are super scary.

I’m doing a bad job at my job today, but can’t seem to really care. The need to close ranks and gather friends is STRONG right now. Would that I had a sprawling estate, I would invite everyone for extended visits.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My Forester has the heated steering wheel. Love it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

January is not supposed to be part of wildfire season!

There's a goddamn cybertruck in the employee parking lot here, parked across the aisle from me. Freaking me out some, honestly.
