Just heard from Dan'l

Dan'l just called me from the land of the great fires. He and Cindy are
fine, they have lost some of their grape vines and"18 miles" of irrigation
system. One corner of their porch caught fire- but a neighbor was
successful in suppressing that. He is currently without landline telephone-
and sketchy cell phone, in fact he called me on a borrowed cell phone. He
wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and let those know who have
tried to call that all is ok. He and Cindy are watching the fire line on a
distant hill at this moment. He said if anyone goes to San Diego, their
view won't be blocked by the trees :-(
