Ashtray - Pompeii - Crematorium are some of the words that came to mind this morning as I stepped out my room and saw the smog in the sky and layer of ash on the car roof parked right outside. Suddenly the fire seemed more real and I got an image of petrified animals running for their lives and it made me think of nameless ancestors of mine who had to pick up their belongings and run. The human need for snugness and safety is so paramount.
Apparently, Saturday's lightening sparked 12 forest fires and there are 100 fires going on in this state right now. As someone said, "California is burning" - despite most of our guests having to add 3-4 hours to their drive time (as there is no access to here from anywhere north) we are still full and most guests persevered with the journey. When there is a will, there's a way !
