Thank you for your concern. Wildfires and power outages seem to have become the new norm in CA. I just returned from Southern California last night, in fact. I'm very relieved to have made it safely - not because of fires (I was and remain out of harm's way), but because my car got hot and bothered. The engine over-heated. I found myself stranded in a place appropriately named Lost Hills. Fortunately, there's one mechanic in Lost Hills. This mechanic, my savior, replaced the cooling pump. I returned home 10 hours later. There's more to the story, and to my trip -- which was fantastic minus the drive back. But it's time to wish you a safe and Happy Halloween! [Sorry about Martha, but she does add a unique brand of creepy.]
Love you.
Safety first - deadheating with fun.
ReplyDeleteI want that bumper sicker. Thanks, EC.
DeleteA safe and happy Halloween to you, dear Robyn. I shall be padlocking my gate and throwing a quilt over my car's back window.
ReplyDeleteI'd expect nothing less from you, dear Geo.
DeleteYou always do it right.
Great there was a mechanic there to help. Hopefully and and many stay safe there. At least with such a halloween night, one can create a fire of their own.
ReplyDeleteNo need to start a flame with a match, that's true.
DeleteHappy Halloween, Pat Hatt.
Glad you made it home safe.
ReplyDeleteKeep treating because Trix are for kids!
Ha. Perfect response. Thanks, Alex.
DeleteHappy Halloween.
Been thinking of you. Glad you are safe (and now off the freeway). Happy Halloween - stay wrapped up.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your thoughts.
DeleteHappy Halloween, Joanne.
❤️
ReplyDeleteLove.
DeleteI think Martha does Halloween right! California is becoming less and less desirable as a living destination. I think the power companies are just making everyone miserable until they pass a law exempting them from an damages caused from fires started by their lines.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad and horrifying. We need to bring PG&E down.
DeleteHope you have/had a safe, happy Halloween.
It does seem like California is getting its fair share of punches.
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
You should start a line of naughty greeting cards.
Thanks, Elizabeth. My first set of cards would be Bernie cards.
DeleteLove ya.
Happy Halloween, Robyn! Glad you're safe from the fires. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debra.
DeleteNever eat the unwrapped candy!
ReplyDeleteSafety first, Diane!
DeleteHappy Halloween.
Glad you were rescued and not lost in lost hills to terribly long. Good to hear your safe from the fires. They look so bad, it's so sad seeing pictures and video's. Can't imagine living in or near it. Happy Belated Halloween to you as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandy. Yeah, there's a feeling of permanent tentativeness around here - ironic and sobering. But I still love Chico and California. I appreciate your concern.
DeleteSounds like a harrowing trip. So glad you made it home safely. The news of the fires out there always makes me think of you. I'm glad to hear you are doing ok.
