Well, this one hit close to home...really close.

39 weeks pregnant mrsreindeer and I are right now watching helicopters out the back of our house pick up water from the ocean to use to continue fighting the fire in Rancho Palos Verdes.

It started last night at 8pm and we heard planes & copters out our bedroom window and it was keepin' me from my beauty sleep.

Then we got a text from a friend who was asking if we were okay.

At first, I thought it was F.A.T. (you know who you are).

But I thought it best to turn on the local news to find out that there was a wildfire burning out of control very nearby.

This pic was taken at the end of our street: Image

They evacuated 2,000 folks in our area, including those who live on the main street that backs into our neighborhood.

The good thing is that this one's 70% contained due to the tremendous efforts of the L.A. County Fire Dept., the 'Apocalypse Now'-style aerial assualt and remarkably low winds, but there are 3 more fires burning right now in the Los Angeles area.

I hope the rest of you Angelenos are good & safe! We missed this one but I know a lot of folks out there are hurtin'.

Thoughts & prayers going out to anyone affected by this latest round of fires, even you Trojans! :-)

I'm taking a closer look at that so-called 'HELICOPTER' in the pic and it turns out we were worse off than we thought...that's no 'helicopter', that's a freakin' alien spaceship! We were attacked, I knew it!

Reentry (or actually entry, as the case may be) probably started the fire. :-)

I hope everything turns out alright for you. On the bright side, should your lighters run dry, you know where you can light up a smoke in a pinch... :-)
