Wildfires In California

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone:

Just checking in to tell you what a week this has been. It is another

exciting fire season here in Calabasas, California. Most of my friends

have been evacuated from their homes. The fire here is huge and ashes

are falling everywhere. So far, we have not had to evacuate but the

fire is literally burning in Calabasas, in 2 other housing communities

here in Calabasas (this is a very small community). Today, I was

leaving my house to attend a mindfulness class at the Wellness

Community (a cancer help center) and my next door neighbor's house had

smoke coming out of the garage. Needless to say, I was late. Three

huge fire trucks and six sheriff's cars blocked our cul-de-sac street.

After all this, we think the fire was unrelated to the wildfire and

just happened on its own. At the class, I met 2 other people with colon

cancer: one is stage 4 like me and has had it reoccur 3 times in three

and one-half years; the other is stage 3 and is under control.

Hope you are all well and safe.
