Simi Valley fire jumps 118 freeway. yeah. that would be just over the hill from where i work in thousand oaks. there's ash on the ground in the parking lot, and a certain amount of smoke in the building. the 118 is several people's alternative to the 101 commute. presuming it doesn't all go up in flame, i'm glad daylight savings has finally kicked in, makes it easier to drive into work extra early if the sun is out. first time in my life i've ever been getting up early enough to notice daylight savings.
