It's Coming Right For Us!

The fire seems to be heading in the wrong direction, so we're keeping a close eye on the news. At the moment it's threatening Rancho Santa Fe, but is expected to get into the nearby canyon. From there, it's a direct shot west through Olivenhein and Encinitas.

Our area seems to have plenty of defensible space, but lots of similar suburban areas have already been hit. It might be a roof-by-roof lottery. We're in the north-south dead center of the evacuation zone, and due west of the fire.

We are completely safe, as are Andrew, Willow, and Ember (our rabbit). They turned up Andrew's ventilator settings and he seems to have gotten a lot better. We'll figure out what that means and whether he'll be able to come back down in a few days...right now we're just happy that we don't have to worry about him for a while. It will help us relax a bit tonight.

More info tomorrow...hopefully we'll have good news.
