The news hits home

Rey-YES · 10-23-2007, 05:14 PM

At least 2 MOFOites (Ambler and SD Mets Fan) live in the area of the fire. I hope they, their families and friends, and their homes, are safe.

This dwarfs anything baseball-wise, of course, but I wonder what MLB would've done if the WS was starting there this week.

Thanks. I'm great. Actually just got back from Rosarito Beach where I had lunch and I'm going to my girlfrined's in LA to get....good air. School is closed all the rest of the week. We'll be OK. Times like this make you re-evaluate what's really important.

I thought this thread was going to be about Mets finally realizing they aren't making the WS this year.

I've got a cousin living in Santa Monica with his girlfriend...just heard from him today that he's OK for the time-being. He thinks they'll be alright, but who knows?

Don't come to LA for the air. It's terrible here too. It started looking like sunset at 11 am and hasn't changed all day.

This is both very shocking and completely unexpected.

Ambler has a girlfriend?

Yeah, but it's REALLY bad here. You should see the pool in our apt complex.

Thoughts to all affected by the fires.

Willie's phoning the champagne company as we speak to find out what happened to their shipment.

I think Ryan Garko hijacked it on its way to Boston...

Mr. Met · 10-23-2007, 10:35 PM

To our Met friends on the West Coast.... I sincerely hope everything works out well, and may the fires stay away from your homes and your families. Please stay safe !

metfan SD · 10-23-2007, 11:02 PM

Thanks, I'm doing fine as well.

I live in Tierrasanta, and the last time this happened, in 2003, we were evacuated down to Qualcomm Stadium, with flames shooting up above the trees 1/4 of a mile away - that was a bit scary! Everything turned out fine for us, but a few homes and condos were lost down the street, despite the efforts of the local firefighters from Fire Station 39 - good guys!

This time the neighborhood has been lucky, we've barely had any ash, and the winds have cooperated to keep the various fires well away from us.

I think I'll buy some San Diego real estate while it's at its burntiest.
