Voluntary day at the office in Rancho Bernardo to not come in due to air quality issues.

Spent the afternoon downtown and at home. From here it doesn't even seem like there are these huge fires going on. Crazy.

Our other place in Murrieta is getting that orange sky and the air quality is pretty bad. Can't imagine it will be too great for a few days at least.

Our friend who lives inTemecula went to work in Kearny Mesa today but gave no details on status of fires in North County, my old home. It's hard to find detailed news out of state. Are the fires contained?

In Fallbrook....our house is surrounded by heavy smoke. This afternoon it looked like it was raining ash. Made me extremely nervous, thinking a spark could start something going. Winds changed so many directions, the smoke just circled around. At one point, the smoke almost completely blocked the sun. Very eerie. Hoping they can get the 3 Pendleton fires under control soon.
