Last night, we went to bed and pray that we would wake up next morning safe and out of danger inside our house. I pray also and hope for the best for those that were affected by the fires. One of them was Larry Himmel, a friendly long-time sports TV-Radio announcer for CBS Channel 8 who saw his house in Rancho Bernardo gutted to the ground for himself. And yet, he continued giving reports LIVE from his community. We were safe alright the next morning, 10-23-07 and we got ready to go to work. But this image was what I saw.

Ash rain has started overnight and as I drive until I got to my office. And the air was becoming unhealthly to breathe in and thank God I bought that nose mask! The cities and freeways look like a ghost towns. At 7:20 a.m., this would a rush hour traffic ride. Our dealership have no customers at the service department. The writers and the manager as I was changing into my uniform when they told me the store would be closed and we were to go home. Nobody would want to work, especially outside, in a atmosphere like this. Our lungs would collapse even if we wear masks the whole day.
