I don’t cover out-of-area wildfires, in most cases, and I’m not going to cover these, except to let my readers know I am a tad preoccupied. There are many going on in the state, one of which is Waldo Canyon, just outside Colorado Springs, where my daughter and 3 of my grandchildren live. 11,000 people were evacuated this morning. Not my daughter. Nevertheless, it is close enough to worry, and to spend much of my online time keeping up with the status. Once I am no longer preoccupied, I have photos and events to cover. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

Kate: please take your time, I know I speak for many of us when I say we are huge Big Sur Kate fans and tracking the fires is definitely more important, we'll be here, always, when you are ready. Thoughts and prayers coming your family's way.
I vote with Jane, keep at it Kate and good luck to most especially your Colorado family. I was in Cachagua when the fires hit there and Big Sur at the same time. Help could be offered by friends here in a fairly short drive, the distance worries I know. The good news is that your daughter has the best equipt fire genius west of the Rockies, and the whole family has the opportunity to manage disaster which is a life long critical education. They'll be fine, and we all love you.
