Fire.
Long Beach Press-Telegram article from Saturday, October 25.
Fires burning... fire season... man, this sucks.
1) North of Simi Valley: Val Verde fire.
2) North of Fontana/Rancho Cucamonga: Grand Prix fire.
3) San Bernadino County: Waterman fire.
Plus two in San Diego. Crap.
We were at the beach today... turns out a small fire off PCH/CA-1 just south of the beach we were at shut down PCH. Turned our 12 mile trip back to West LA into a 40+ mile trip back through Thousand Oaks. We stopped for an impromptu dinner with a friend in Thousand Oaks at Cheesecake, at least... which was cool, but Thousand Oaks is SO FREAKING CLOSE to the Val Verde fire that the sky was pitch dark by 5:30pm and it smelled like BBQ and ash everywhere!
