Dat's a huge@ss honkin' fire and s#!+. I'm kinda on the lower left, due east of the top of the bay. So if the two big fires head southwest and northwest--whammo!--no more Smiff. Though i'll probably be in Denver by that point. My next door neighbor from work, Dan, and i are going to tie two inflatable mattresses together and float out into the Pacific Ocean if it comes to dat. But things are looking up: UPS just dropped off a couple bottles from my wine club, so at least i'll go out in style wid a Wilson Creek 2005 Estate Syrah Temecula Valley..."Rich flavors of dark cherry, vanilla, and nutmeg [holy crap! nutmeg!!] accent [accent!] this bold [bold!] and beautiful Syrah. It has firm tannins [sounds HOT!] and sweet oak [mmm...oak...] on the finish. This wine will age beuatifully but is enjoyable now. [take DAT, suckers!]"

Smiff, signing out...maybe forever
