Right now, I know some folks who live on Merridy Street in Chatsworth and I hope the fire is put out quickly. Bonza, how far would that photo be from the Spahn ranch?

Right now: Half - this photo was taken looking east toward Chatsworth and Santa Susana Pass, where Spahn Ranch is located. There have been some evacuations of homes in that area.

right now, ladytex, i read the article in your paper and it says the young lady was standing in the middle of the road when the young man approached coming over a hill. so maybe he was going over the speed limit, but why was she in the road? was she looking to see if the bus was coming, or what? two lives ruined and why? i was so sorry the girl died, but i was relieved that it appeared there were no drugs, alcohol, racing, whatever involved. just a horrible 'accident'. prayers to both of the families and prayers to your children, ladytex, that they are okay. right now, our house has been on the market for over 5 days and only one agent has come to see it. she was kinda flaky...but we are on the 'tour' for tuesday, and we are highlighted in tomorrow's paper, so maybe we'll get some attention. i do know that all 35 fliers have been picked up from the box on our sign. the agent will bring more out today. trying not to stress over all we have to do and worrying about the sale of this house! today i am trying to do laundry and patch the nail holes in son's walls, so i can paint his room. hopefully, i can find the same exact shade of off-white and just have to touch up where i patch! i hate painting and our texture is so thick, i have to use a brush rather than a roller. an 11x14 room seems like the astrodome when you are painting!

Right now my office is so cold that I'm going to run to Farm & Fleet to get a space heater. I hate these hermetically sealed, everyone at the same temperature buildings.

Right now I'm listening to a co-worker go on about how dangerous it is to chat and meet people on the internet because "you never know....they could be axe murderers." LOL

Right now, how awful. I've been gone all morning and haven't yet had a chance to turn on the news. Anyone know how bad the wind is out that way today? I know yesterday it was bad up here, and down there, but not sure about today since all we have a small breeze. Lk, got your pm, thanks!

Right now, War, the wind has apparently died down considerably from yesterday, but it's still gusting every now and then.

right now they have a great animal rescue procedure. the news has given a phone number for an animal shelter. people who had to evacuate, but couldn't take their animals are asked to call the phone number. someone will go in and get the animals. also, they will be taking photographs of all animals rescued/being taken care of. a person can go to a website to see check the photos. over 17,000 acres have burned. only one home and one building destroyed (or that's being reported).

Right now, we have been watching water-dropping choppers and tankers fly all around. Some areas look better, a few look worse in terms of black smoke. As Tish said, the winds have died down from yesterday by at least half in terms of speed. A news pilot flying over the easternmost part of the fire just described the wind as "erratic". They keep talking about westerly and northerly wind moving the fire. If it moves north, I'll be taking some dramatic photos just before I drive away (I think we are in good shape right now...)!

Right Now, I'm sitting alone praying that the Army Chaplin is not heading to my home, after reading early today how 5 soldiers were killed in Iraq in the area my son is. Right Now, I don't like myself very much for hoping it was someone else's sons.

Right now thanks Tish! I know the winds make it that much more difficult to get a handle on the fires. I'm watching the coverage now, it looks much, much worse than it did early this morning.

Right now, Abby, I am near the Reagan Library on the west side of Simi Valley. So I am watching a southern view over the hills of Wood Ranch toward the areas burning in Westlake Village/Oak Park and an eastern view toward Bell Canyon/Box Canyon/Chatsworth. And {{{ Secretsmile}}}
