Fire map

Here's an updated map that also has some good pictures.

I am still safe and well.

If you are concerned

I am fine.

In spite of UCSD being closed and people being evacuated a couple of miles from where I live, I have not had to go anywhere.

I went down to Qualcomm Stadium and the response is both amazing and amazingly unorganized. When you have that volume of people you need an organized situation and a large number of mandatory evacuations does not lend itself to an organized situation. What was impressive was the number of volunteers willing to help. It seemed at times that there were more volunteers than there were evacuees.

If you want more information on the situation I suggest a couple of sites:
San Diego Union-Tribune Fireblog
CBS News 8
Google Maps of the fires
KPBS
Random Guy's
LA Times

The problems with becoming Educated

I had this GREAT idea, I would research campaign donations, figure out how campaigns get people to donate by using what type of appeals. I was going to collect massive amounts of data, figure everything out and have a paper to be submitted.

But someone else has already beat me to the punch. (And she doesn't even have a mustache)

Don't stare into the sun!

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day (SLC, UT)
