so my dad got sent home from work yesterday because the air was so bad. and the offices are closed again today. he said that you can't even see irvine because there's so much ash in the air. and the worst part is that many of these fires are due to arson. assholes.

and i just talked to a girlfriend who lives in san diego and she and her husband were evacuated earlier today. they're now staying with friends. her brother and sister in law got evacuated as well and have scrambled to find somplace safe to stay too.

then, last night, i was watching cops on tv. but when the show went to commercial, i kept hearing sirens. hubby opened up our front door to see cop cars from surrounding towns driving by. a police helicopter was also hovering overhead. wtf? we live in a small town where there is pretty little crime. now, i'm not saying crime doesn't happen here, it just doesn't happen often. and it's usually pretty minor when it does happen.

so this morning as i was reading the paper online, i found out that a 16 year old kid was shot about 2 miles from my house last night. apparently, it was a gang shooting and the 24 year old suspect is still at large. nice. oh, and it was at a park that hubby and i frequent. right across from the boys and girls center.

wtf is going on these days?!
