Re: Monday Early Open Thread (none / 1)

Hey - has anyone heard from Izzy over the weekend? Apparently LA is somewhat on fire.

Oh, that's good news! I called last night, but no one was home, so I was getting nervous.

Hey! Thanks for calling - I'm sorry I missed it! We had an all day/night music thing.

We're fine. The fires are quite close to us, but as Colman conveyed, they're downwind so we're ok. Yesterday we went further into the city, away from the fires, and it was really smokey and hazy, so everyone's sinuses and breathing are affected.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Re: Monday Early Open Thread (none / 1)

Just because I'm tired of hearing about it let me remind everyone that "Los Angeles" is ENORMOUS and these fires are more than an hour's drive from LA itself. There is always something burning in LA. The TV news there own lots of helicopters and the big orange flames make for good print photos so it always gets covered far more than it should considering how often it occurs. I also theorize that the TV people live in the outskirts areas that frequently burn.

If LA were actually to burn down, by the grace of god, it would take weeks.

You know what, if parts of Chicago were on fire, I would want someone to care if I am ok. I'm not an idiot. I know LA is huge. The point is I have a friend whom I have not heard from and there are fires near where she lives.
