Overheard at work

I walked outside into the smoke and ash of Irvine to find two coworkers smoking. I walked up to them and began coughing loudly.

Me: "Excuse me, could you put that out?"
Everyone: Laughter
Coworker: "Actually, you should be sucking on one of these, at least these are filtered!

But seriously, socal is on fire, and it's working its way up. We're having power outages all around us all the way up in Irvine. Meanwhile everyone is being advised to pack their shit or voluntarily evacuate.

Tough times.

I just got off of the phone with my Dad. They live outside the "back" gate of Pendleton in Oceanside and the fire made it to the gate.

Seems to be under control in that area though.
