I managed to get through to John's cell phone early this morning....he,
and the family made it out of Romona, Ca., and they were sleeping in his
truck outside of San Diego. His house, another truck, and a boat were
left behind...directly in the fires path. (he got his sponsors truck and
boat out...I suppose they will be happy about that).

But at least I am pretty sure they are alright...haven't been able to
get through to him all day!

I am watching the town I use to call home going up in flames...I have
many friends there, and I could use an extra prayer or two for all of
them!

I very much hope his home survives. My oldest daughter and her husband live
in Ramona. The inlaws house is gone. They do not know about Connies. Came
back from a week in Long Beach dog sitting for oldest daughter. We came up
101 and the winds near Malibu were at leat 50+ mph come down the draws. We
spent part of yesterday on Lake Cachuma and hard to see one end of the lake
to the other because of the smoke. Did land 2 small bass. Spent the night
in Solvang and most of the smoke did not clear up until Pismo Beach.
