San Diego Firestorm 2007

Category: ,

I grew up and lived in Massachusetts for 24 years of my life and never have I seen such destruction to property than I have with these fires going on here in San Diego. I am fine, my house is fine and so are all my friends. The fires are about 15-20 miles from my house and 10 miles from where I work. I can smell smoke and see smoke in the air around my house. Where I work the air is so thick with smoke that is hard to breathe. I had a headache, dry eyes and throat and couldn’t breathe very well all day yesterday. In the building it smelled like old cigarettes. You know when someones been smoking in a room and leaves their cigarette butts in there then closes the door? Well imagine that smell all day in an entire building…YUM!

You can track the fire here

Yes, I’m alive!
Yes, I’m ok except for the occasional headache, dry nose and throat..
Yes you can send me donations if you are worried about me to my paypal address LazyGregg@yahoo.com

love

    Whatever it does not smell like old cigs, my car smells like old cigs. Outside smells like we’ve all been camping in the White Mountains of NH, minus the mosquitoes, the black flies, & the phish hippies. Do the Predicates have plans to go to the Q to entertain the evacuees? You could make it on national TV, maybe hit on Katie Couric. Miss you like a rash, mwah.
