We've fine for now - San Diego Fires

It's Monday, we're both home from work and Jamie's school is closed. The air quality is poor so we're staying inside, but for now, all is OK in Scripps Ranch. There are police and tow trucks staged at the local grocery store parking lot, we think they are waiting there in case there is an evacuation order for our neighborhood. Also, the Vons/Safeway was a madhouse around lunch time, all the bottled water gone and lots of RVs in the parking lot (evacuees). Unfortunately, we've heard from one of Ann's friends from New Orleans (Marcyn) and they believe that their home in Rancho Bernardo has burned down. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted by this emergency. Marcyn and her family may come stay with us for a while...

We're posting a few pictures, from the good times and bad below...

The annual Miramar Air Show, this year featuring the Thunderbirds... Jamie and I watched from a local park as the planes flew over Scripps Ranch.






This past weekend was the cheer competition for San Diego Pop Warner. Jamie and our Mitey-Mite squad were OUTSTANDING. At her age group, it's an exhibition performance only, but they did great! All three of the competing Scripps Ranch squads took first place in their divisions - Go Falcons!






And lastly, a couple of pictures of the smoke from our balcony this morning at sunrise and from yesterday afternoon when the fires were blowing smoke over to the west.
