Hello Reader, How are you? I'm in a safe area at the moment, the part of Santa Monica that does not have a Red Flag warning. the ash is mixed with the breeze and the air quality is keeping us on alert. Many I know have evacuated and/or lost their homes. Let's work together to provide as much aid and info to those impacted.
