bluesboy Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 The fires are getting closer, probably a couple miles away. The air tankers are due to arrive this afternoon and there's a couple of helicopters working our fire. The wind is dying down a little and we remain optimistic that it won't reach our residence.
MarcM Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 I wish you luck, bluesboy! I am still waiting to be deployed. I take it as a good sign my team has not been called yet....
bluesboy Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Thanks Marc Looks like it's working ! The air support has knocked down the fire right in front of us, whew ! We're at the left bottom corner of the top orange image (the nose of the humpback cat).

miamisammy29 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Happy birthday, dude. Don't burn your face on all those candles.
MuzikTyme Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Happy birthday woman! Hey, I've got a cockroach for you if you want a free meal somewhere... That'd be the first cockroach I ever saw that'd provide a free meal, even though it's been proven that the ultimate insect (cockroach) can actually feed on itself for three months without expiring and without any outside source, such as . . . Birthday cake! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain . . .
katie_sane Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Happy Birthday Chris!! Also, to Lucky, Bluesy, Marc, Shawna's folks and all other California SF'ers, wanted to say that thoughts from Australia are with you. Every summer we suffer from terrible, terrible bushfires, so I can fully understand the magnitude of the disaster unfolding around you. Good luck, and keep us posted.
edna Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Posted October 24, 2007 Happy Birthday, Chris!! Here´s a cake... Want some brownies? Have a great day!!
Shawna Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 just have to throw it in your salad at a restaurant, Muzik. The management will do gymnastics to give you free food. (Did you ever see "Victor/Victoria"?) Have yourself a wonderful Birthday CS!

Farin Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Happy Birthday Chris! also from these guys:
Uncle Joe Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Hey Chris, I hear it's yer birthday (Beatles guitar)...Happy Birthday to ya!
MarcM Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Happy birthday, Chris! I remember twenty....It was a good year, but seemed to last a looooong time. I was waiting for 21! My 12/12 shifts have been cancelled after only three days, which is nice. We had a little bit of excitement yesterday when same little bastard started a fire in the paseo at the end of our block. It started to catch the trees and brush in the area right next to a house. The wind was quite strong and blew embers down the street. A fire department helicopter made quick work of the flames with a water drop, and there were hand crews there for some time making sure that the fire did not start back up. Everyone at my house, including me, was not home at the time, but I did hear everything on my radio at work. I have to say I did not like hearing about a fire in my neighborhood on the radio when I was so far away and could do nothing.
c_s_1987 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Thank you everyone! I was wondering why my cake didn't appear early yesterday morning, but I'm glad it did eventually. To all the Californian songfactors - I wish you well.
