fires

We're fine, all told. We didn't learn anything until the radio turned itself on this morning, and the fires are far enough away that there are no adverse affects on our air or weather. Even the fierce gusts that they're talking about in Sylmar are barely an issue in Koreatown.

Both the LAFD and the LA Times have put together good maps to locate the fires. Neither map has our location on it, but if you zoom out, you can find downtown Los Angeles near where the 10, the 101 and the 110 meet. We're northwest from there, just south of the 101 at Vermont.

monday spectaculars.

The first rains have come and brought what qualifies as winter in Los Angeles. We're staying busy with life and laughter, but a quick story for today: Given that we both have Mondays off, we gathered ourselves this morning to take a walkabout.

A lovely time, really: Just about 8 miles in total, and you can find the map here.

Back to prepare for teaching tomorrow.
