Goleta burns...

We returned home to find Goleta on fire... to be specific, the hills just to the north of Goleta, about 3-6 miles from our complex. These are some views from our complex around 6:00pm...




To top it all off, we keep getting rolling blackouts. Lame!

The blackouts (plus a slightly freaky smell of gas-leak in our apartment) prompted Danielle, Jeff, Kurt and I to seek out chinese food. We bounced from restaurant to restaurant until we found one on the mesa that still had power, and ate heartily. I do have to say that driving around in search of chinese food while one can see flames from the freeway, with ash falling everywhere, was a pretty eerie experience...
