There's an awful fire burning in Pacific Palisades. I have many friends who live there and I sure hope they and their homes are okay.
I've had a couple of texts and e-mails asking if I've been evacuated. I appreciate the concern but I'm pretty far away from Pacific Palisades or from a couple of other locations where smaller fires have erupted. The Palisades fire would pretty much have to burn through the entirety of West Los Angeles and Beverly Hills before it got anywhere near my neighborhood.
