Although I don't entirely agree that it's hell, California's getting a lot closer to such a state.
After another long weekend trip down to Santa Barbara for the Fourth of July weekend there are nearly 1,000 fires blazing in California and my car is completely covered in ash -- I need a car wash in the very near future. But driving down Wednesday night, I noticed the hills just above Goleta glowing as if I were driving past an active volcano. California's larget -- the Santa Barbara Gap Fire -- is nearly three miles long, running parallel to the 101 and has been causing rolling blackouts among all the power grids within 15 miles of the fires.
Well, luckily no one I know has been injured and all their homes are still in tact. This summer is just turning out to be one of the hottest and most fire-active summer in as long as I can remember.
In other news, I really have enjoyed starting my new job. Here's the first (mini) release I wrote for the website. Oh, and my sports have changed: I'll be the primary contact for women's water polo, men's and women's swimming and the secondary for women's volleyball and baseball.
Looking forward to Week 2!

It's really so cool that you have a job you like so much. It must make everything else seem so much better. Except the fire! I'll try sending you some of this rain in Lorraine but you know how La Poste can be . . .
