Comments on: Fire, Smoke and Ash http://pasadenaadjacent.com/2009/08/30/fire-smoke-and-ash/ Life Lived on the Edge of Pasadena Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:10:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Pasadena Adjacent http://pasadenaadjacent.com/2009/08/30/fire-smoke-and-ash/#comment-4108 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:26:25 +0000 http://pasadenaadjacent.com/?p=11325#comment-4108 JT: thanks…you’r blog indicates you had a better vantage point. Do you have friends in high places?

Laurie: I’m amazed at how large the fire appears from a distance. The farther back the larger it appears.

Mid-Town-G: re friends; they’re safe. Verdugo fires are their biggest threat and the summer ain’t over. All the “on break” fire fighters were parked in front of a Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco and Jack n the Box all situated next to one another.

Merv: the Meadows survived but I think you’ve found the silver lining.

AH: Thanks. I do wish that they would inform us of what’s on fire by using the place names of effected trails and camps. It’s how we know what’s under seige.

Natalie: I’m astounded at how dramatic this fire looks from a distance. Maybe I should have gone over to the north rim of Griffith Park for my wee video productions.

K: Wow, wordpress gave you the best looking avitar to date.

Margaret: All my life I’ve never been able to stay away from Los Angeles because of those mountains. I have an intimate relationship with them.

CO: yes, my hired help is very talented

D: They just opened up the mountain behind the ranger station as a crime scene. We’ll find out soon. Had enough of Ramona yet?

Mr V: I’m trying…really

Tash: You’re welcome

Dina: I’ve never been in harms way but I’m nuts for those hills. I go up into them around three times a week. You’ve seen the results posted here…and often. A spiritual center for me.

PJ: I understand and I may wait till it cools down to re-enter. The spots are coming slowly. It’s rather difficult to paint with so much destruction around me not to mention the air quality.

Christina: I remember your blog tour of Mount Wilson. Glad to know that you and yours are safe

Deepak: I saw some of the footage from out of Greece. We all have similar climates and terrain.

I know where the topics covered along with other stories of heartbreak related to our local mountain’s history.

Each story is compromised of seven posts that conclude at the end of the blog page. At the bottom of the page, select older posts to get to the next story (the Brown Brothers). After The Brown Brothers is the story of the extinction of our local California Grizzly bear.

The next year was Hurricane Katrina but we had stopped watching TV by then so we were spared that. So sorry you’re going through all of this. I wish you the very best and hope you and yours stay safe.

Looking forward to seeing the dalmatian spots.

It helps us understand. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to live in the middle of all that.
And I have kids in LA.
May you all be safe. Praying for an early end to this fire.

PS. The closest I could find for a link to the ceramics gallery you asked for is this:

Money doesn’t grow on trees you know!

We’ve got a deadline to consider and those dalmation spots aren’t going to paint themselves.

Say goodbye to your friends and get back to work pleeeease
