fortunately we still haven't gotten socked like they were threatening. no really high winds at least. it's still raining like crazy and i'm climbing the walls 'cause i can't get out and shoot...lol...but other than that...we're fine here in the armpit of the world. ;-) i've been reading about the poor souls in LA...my prayers are with them. i'm up for it anytime you and Kemal are Sheila!! and looking forward to it, needless to say! :-)
