This is the hill behind my house..what I jokingly
call Shadow Mountain.

I have been looking at this view for over 30 years.. Today
and tonight there is a large fire.. People have lost homes
but thus far. 130 homes have been evacuated thus far. I still
hear the brave pilots flying the helicopters tonight making
water drops... and I still hear the sirens...there is a flare
up nearby.. A local news crew is broadcasting from my neighborhood...
