My friend Lisa is caught in the middle of the fires raging in Southern California at the moment.
She says they’re tense, but coping. Freeways, schools, county offices, and many stores are closed and ash covers everything. The air quality is terrible and she says they have to wear masks even though they don’t make [...]

The paper’s been faxed and now I can… ?? sleep?? eat?? I’m so lost!!
