For a while they were afraid the fire would go through Scipps and Clairmonte then follow Tecolote Canyon all the way to La Jolla. That would have meant the fire would have burned everything from Ramona (in the mountains) to La Jolla (by the sea). Right now they're saying a total of 130,000 acress have burned and 180 houses are gone.

No, I am directly south of UCSD, in the mini canyon that Torrey Pines Road goes through. We had a fire in there about 7 years ago. I watched that fire that was at the 52 and 805 from Mt. Soledad last night, apparently it is out now from what I heard.

no problem. But we didn't go to Mexico, and there was no requirement to drink. In fact DMK and her boyfriend did not drink iirc. Not that I would remember- I was drinking

There is the possiblity that Arnold Swarchenegger is responsible for setting these fires. He may have set them and then fled to Las Vegas for this convenient alibi.

To be fair, he was up on the fire lines today, shaking hands with firefighters, telling them that they were doing a good job. It was a great morale booster.

According to a report I just heard on the news, the managers of the state and national parks have not been able to conduct forest management or controlled burning for thirty years since the enactment of envirnomental impact reports. Every attempt to manage a forest or to implement a controlled burn has been met by a lawsuit.

Think about that, guys. The wildfires are normal when you do nothing to control them in advance. But, if you ask why we have been doing nothing in advance, the answer is the radical environmentalists.

Fair enough but we didn't go to Mexico. We went out for dinner in Old Towne and then we went to a coffee shop in the Gas Lamp. It was fun maybe you'll be able to go to the next one if we ever have a next one.

EVERYONE: The parasites are desending upon my little hamlet. Dan Rather and a few other "news men" from the national networks have all flown out here and are now broadcasting from in front of my neighbors' burned out houses. I can't help but feel like these dung beattles do nothing useful and just show up to have thier pictures taken in front of the wrecks which are my neighbors' lives.

I woke up this morning coughing. The smoke is everyone in our dorm, in the common area, and in my room. I guess today there will be no escape from the smoke, and ash. There's no way to keep it out.

I have a bunch of crazy pictures whic show day time being turned into twilight by the thick smoke and ash. The sucky thing is we normally get a nice off shore breeze which blows away stuff like this but the fire is so large and it is burning in so many places at once that the whole sky has stayed brow-orange for days.

That's a great map. Where did you find it? Also is there one which shows the amount of damage the fires have caused in the mountains? I hear the Cleveland National Forest and Cuyamaca Rancho State Park have been hit hard.

The Cedar Fire has burned about 300,000 acres and destroyed 850 homes including 300 homes in Scripps Ranch where I live.

I was wondering that too. It's off the coast of Mexico where there are no islands.

Also why the hell does CNN describ my neighborhood as "tony"? It's like the bastards ran out of good adjectives and just decided to look up an obsolete word to describe my home town.

quote: With the damage 75 percent assessed, at least 300 homes in the tony Scripps Ranch neighborhood have been destroyed, San Diego's fire chief said. At least 25,000 acres within the city limits were charred, the chief said.
