The Esperanza fire is, of course, the news of the day. Embarrassingly, I had no idea it was burning until the in-laws called from back east to see if we were in its path. Short answer: nope, no danger to us, other than the smoke hanging in the air.Sadly, four firefighters have died in what is thought to be an arson fire.

I took a couple of pix of the big brown cloud heading over us. I like the second one because it shows one of the real distinctions of our area: cell phone towers disguised as pine trees rather than palms.Tags: Esperanza fire, Cabazon
