Perhaps Audacity is angry with you and burning down the building.

East County is on fire, from what I've heard.

Though I'm on the other side of the world, so that may be a small exaggeration.

Only a small exaggeration. About 5000-5500 acres so far; 3000 near Ramona and 2500 near Potrero. With the Santa Ana winds to push, they're spreading like, well, wildfire. I'm hoping they get them under conrol quickly.

I'm on the UCSD campus right now, the air is unpleasant to breathe and the sky is that ugly reddish it only gets when it's full of smoke.

I'm seeing heavy smoke reports from all over the county. During the 2003 fiires, I lived in Clairemont, and the smoke was bad enough to make going outside a health hazard. My office in Mira Mesa closed for two days because of the smoke.

We're getting part of the plume from the Ramona fire right now. Nasty stuff. The smoke is thick and sudden enough that we thought the fires were much closer. Of course, there might be other, smaller fires nearby that we haven't heard about yet.

I hate fire season.

UCSD closed for three days, I believe.

I only heard about it because my mother contacted me asking what they should take, should they be evacuated. They're in Tierrasanta, and the fires got rather close to the house in 2003.

In 2003 it was closed, yes; I'm not sure for how long.

I hope you don't mean it's being closed now, because I ought to have heard something if that were the case.

...yes, was closed (past), not is closed (present). I haven't heard anything relating to it now, though if it were to be closed, there would be an all-at-ucsd e-mail going out about it.
