fire update

The Summit Fire that ignited Thursday morning (this fire is about 20 miles away from our house) It quickly devoured 3,200 acres and at least 10 homes in the Santa Cruz Mountains may be contained quicker thanks to cooler temperatures, a shift in wind direction to the south, fog and higher humidity.

The Quail Hollow Fire, which is MUCH closer to our house (approximately 3 miles away.) Has been fully contained!

Wildfire rages in Santa Cruz Mountains


We've got a wildfire raging in the Santa Cruz Mountains today... you can read more about it here. It's gone from 50 acres burned to 1,500 acres burned in 4 hours.

Hopefully the firefighters will be able to get it under control or even out soon. Please pray for the people that live and work in the areas Summit Road, Mount Madonna Road, and Corralitos.

sesamoid update...

it could or could not be broken but for the mean time I'm gonna rock a metatarsal bar in my shoe... no flip flops for a while I guess... boo. The "met bar" fits inside the shoe and supports the bones in and around the area that I may or may not have broken... ugh the life of me.

Yes, it's true... it is supposed to be 99 flippin' degrees in Scotts Valley tomorrow. I did not move here for this kind of weather. But hey, one day out of 365 isn't too bad I guess!

camping vs. cleaning

Matt went camping and climbing at Pinnacles National Monument today and into tomorrow with some guys and I'm home cleaning! Don't get me wrong... it's actually kind of nice since I can't remember the last time I spend a Saturday night by myself! :)
