So there's a huge fire in Los Angeles, in Griffith Park, just next to my friend's house, where I'm supposed to go house-sit for 2 weeks, starting Saturday. It looks like it's marginally under control now, so his house will probably still be standing and basically unharmed aside from the lingering smell of burnt horse, but might not actually be open to habitation .... we'll see. He was evacuated earlier tonight. His dogs were even less thrilled about that than he was, I think.

Hopefully it'll be all clear by the time I have my barbecue party over there next weekend.
