Sometimes life slows down in the midst of chaos

[livejournal.com profile] jlassen points out that a quarter million people have been evacuated from their homes in San Diego, and the fires are expected to make it all the way down to the north shore.

Just in case you needed a little perspective this morning.

I called Granholm's office to ask if she's considered sending assistance. I left a message asking them to call me back.

I've been up since 7 but didn't make it into work until after 10. The day seems to be going in slow motion. Some days are like that. They're still better than being chased out of your home by a fire.

I'd far prefer that independent groups that aren't teetering on the brink of bankruptcy assist the effort. Spending more money that we don't have only heightens the chances that we'll be asking for a handout in the next 12 months. :(
