Here's the latest on the nearby fire.

We are about 4 miles north of the northern most part of a fire that is approaching 20,000 acres! There's a whole lot of empty back country in San Diego county.

They are predicting Santa Anna winds starting this evening. They always blow from east to west, so with any luck they will blow the fire away from us, and back on some of the area it's already burned.

We have Cindy's 100 Y O mother with us and we decided to go to the beach! What a good idea. We were not told to evacuate but we were told to be ready to evacuate. We decided to get out while the getting was good… I would hate to have to bail in the middle of the night!

I managed to get the OVERLORD off to John today, so I only have the big gun with me.

A dear friend came and evacuated my other guitars and a bunch of stuff from the house just in case. He is now having lots of fun playing all my guitars! Ha ha

Beth, I'm glad to hear you're well and improving!

Tom, thanks for your fine thoughts and prayers!

Everybody stay well and play pretty…
