No Worries

The so-called Great Fire started just before 1 p.m. Saturday on the south side of Highway 78 and Scissors Crossing, east of Julian and near Shelter Valley. It was reported this afternoon that the fire is 40% contained. The farmhouse is a piece away and our neighbors report that nearby Jess Martin Park is the staging area for all manner of fire appartus and helicopters. While that's exciting, it's October, our favorite month, and it's fire season.
