And Barb Mallut! > Tell us everything is ok please .... muray Thanks Murray, for your concern, but neither of us is in any danger at all from the reported fire, nor from the threat of brushfires in general (I'll answer for Barb since her PC is still sick). Like any other regional plague (earthquake, heat, cold, rain, dryness, floods, traffic, winds, bugs, hurricanes, tornados, idiot-driven politics, volcano eruptions etc.) brush fires are so common here they tend to be ignored by anyone whose house isn't actually burning, but they are awesome news to those who live outside the affected area. Cheers, Joe fires here are -- J. R. Bruman (818) 789-3694 3527 Cody Road Sherman Oaks, CA 91403-5013
