Just a quick note in response to those who have queried. The entire “staff” and resources at The BRAD BLOG World News Headquarters are just fine, even as fires continue to rage across the state. The closest burn to us, at this time, would be out in Malibu, as things back here closer to Hollywood remain quiet for the moment.
It continues to be incredibly dry and hot out here though, and the winds, at times, have been extraordinary. While some of the cable news channels have picked up much more today in their coverage, things have been largely wall-to-wall on local stations since yesterday. Rightly so.
Given the pictures we’re seeing, it’s really bad out there — an utter conflagration — and like nothing we’ve seen in the 10-plus years that we’ve been in the Golden State. But we are safe and sound at the moment. And our thanks to those who have asked.
That’s good to hear, Brad!
Your far enough in to the concrete jungle so you wouldn’t have to evacuate, aren’t ya Brad ?

Better regulation and stiff punishment for the execs of the Corporations should be a high priority.
Maybe we could clean up this mess…nah, won’t happen, it’s more important to pick up the petty theives and joint holders
Thanks for keeping us posted.
Y’all be careful over there in Cali.

Not necessarily. If fire were to break out in the Hollywood Hills, and if the winds were kicking in as badly as they’ve been elsewhere,I suspect we’d be evacuated here as well.
So far, however, this area has remained fairly quiet. For now. We’ll hope it stays that way as some 300,000 are now displaced and over 1000 homes now destroyed…
fyi…I heard Rush “Nazi” Limbaugh at lunch say that these fires aren’t that bad, and the “Drive-By” media is purposely exaggerating it.
…like they exaggerated Katrina, is what the Nazi said.
That’s good. I was worried about you guys. It might not hurt to wet down your yard with a garden hose though. Or dig a little firebreak around your property. Just in case.
You’s guys are on my mind even more now.

You think we can afford property?! What blog you think you’re reading?! 😉
