so my school is open...

[karenor]

however, my professor for my linguistics class lives in Simi Valley and will not attend class. the email i got (from his email address) states: Dr. Bartelt, who lives in burning Simi Valley, cannot make it to class tonight.

it doesn't say class is cancelled, does it? but i guess it is. in any case, i'm sure as hell not going.

i went up to the top of Reseda (the street i live off of, at the bottom of the hill..the top is the top of the hill) to look at the fire. in fact, i went twice. once in the morning and once like an hour ago. the fire is clear across the valley. it was still kinda over the hill in the morning, (outside the valley), but by 3 the smoke had like at least quadrupled and you could actually see fire on the hill on the other end (about 8-10 miles away). but its on this side of the hill now. i took some picturess with my dad's new p.o.s. digital camera, but they give you the idea.

a few to give you some pespective:









and this next one is from the front of my house (my house is the one the right):



crazy huh...

wow, you can REALLY see the fire from your house.

i can just smell it all over the place.

i'm hoping school is canceled. i really don't want to drive down there and breathe in all that.
