bad air

la has been consumed by the fires. My loved ones are safe. My mom has her go bag ready. Friends have evacuated their homes, but their houses are still standing. Some friends of friends were not as lucky. Unbelievably heartbreaking.

the news reporters walk through the leveled Altadena neighborhoods and say, “it’s like a war zone,” but you can see it on their faces that they wish they had different words (because war is sensitive and really the worst). How do you describe it though. I like the reporter who said, “it’s like being in hell!” Most of the city didn’t have words though. Just on our phones and watching the destruction.

What is it about a burning white van?

i had a date with marg planned tonight, but we postponed it out of safety, concern, and sadness. The rancho bar was destroyed.

nevertheless, we like the Pasadena fire department. A lot I think.

11:51 pm. Hope you are all safe. Let me know if you need anything.
