Fire Update

We're holding steady here today. The winds are mostly out of the northeast, so they are pushing the fire southwest, away from us. We're not out of danger yet though, for a shift in the winds could put us back into the line of fire, literally.

Paul is at work, so I'm here with the the beasts. The cats are delighted to be allowed outside again, as they complained bitterly about being locked in over the past two days. (Fanny is particularly adept at bitterly complaining, given her normally bellowing meow.)

So I'm going to try to get some work done on my seven lectures for the TOC Summer Seminar. It's been hard to focus on such ordinary matters these past few days. But time is ticking away, so focus I shall!
