There's a big fire burning in the Orange County, California hills. It's
not threatening us here in Highland; the only effect it's had has been
closing the toll road I take home and making me take a long detour.

However, there is a mandatory evacuation order in effect for 1500
families. The good news is that they've made provisions to evacuate pets
as well. The Orange County Animal Shelter is providing short-term
evacuation care for dog and cats (and one would assume other small
animals), and another facility nearby is providing housing for horses.

Let's send up get-home-safe purrs for the hoomins and non-hoomins who have
to leave their houses tonight.
