Fortunately, again, there is nothing major to report. The orange cloud in the distance has re-appeared tonight as well as what sounds like about 10 helicoptors flying above our house. It's almost kind of soothing - like white noise.
Air quality is a continual concern - most schools in the area are cancelled because of it and the atmosphere is emitting a weird greenish/yellow glow - it's pretty creepy. Kind of like just before a tornado. The smoke and ash is everywhere - in Laguna, here at home, everywhere.
As I've said before, getting information has been somewhat frustrating. The best/only updating website I've found pertaining to us is OCRegister.com - anyone else found something better? The info seems vague but at least it's something. We're currently at 14 homes lost and 22,000 acres. Our containment rating got up to 50% about mid-day but we're back down to 30% this evening.
Cabin fever seems to be setting in a little as well. We've been trying to exercise as much as possible lately which isn't currently an option due to air quality. Day 1 Fitness was perfect for us tonight - you can download a mini-training session from the website so Adam and I got a good work out in our living room!
Our stuff is still packed just in case. Of course these situations make you think, what would I take? Here's what we have:
1) The boring stuff: documents, insurance proof, official certificates, etc.
2) Photos from when we were kids - they used to have this stuff called film and you made photo prints from it - crazy. We actually have some!
3) Some baseball memorabilia that Adam has from his grandfather
4) Computer external harddrives and backup discs - work stuff for us both
5) A few days worth of clothes
6) Lamby! (no - not a joke)
7) Other small electronics - iPod, camera, etc.
What else would you bring if you were being evacuated?

Mary!!! We have been thinking about you and constantly concerned for y'all!!!! I feel like y'all are playing "desert island" from that episode of The Office where Ryan started the fire...
Oooh! Great Office reference, Callen! I think we know what their answer would be to the little game played by the Dunder Mifflen crowd.
And with all that time in their apartment...
She tells us they are concerned about getting exercise.
I agree. We have the yellow/orange glow here that is cast over everything. It is creepy and it feels like it's always sunset
