1200?!

And yes, please, please give me another strip mall. It's just what I've always wanted. There aren't enough places to get my nails done or drop off my dry cleaning. Really, I need more, more, more.

<sigh>

If I wanted to live in LA, I'd move there.

Thanks for all the great information! The Independent coverage has been really fabulous, and this interview is more of the same.

I assume the smoke and ash blowing our way is in part from the backfiring going on in the northeastern side of the fire. Is this right? I just saw a report on keyt.com that we could expect up to four more days of these conditions. Is there any way you or Ray Ford could get some more information about the accuracy of this prediction? I ask, because for health reasons I may have to make some arrangements to leave town for a bit, and would like to have some idea about what is expected in the coming days. Thanks for any information you might be able to uncover.

For emenzies, air conditioning is definitely your friend in these conditions. Anywhere you can go with filtered air will help. A good time to visit local museums, perhaps. Try to keep windows closed as much as possible, and avoid outdoor activities. A day trip up the coast might be worth the effort. Good luck :-)
