Just to let everyone know, Julia and I are fine and our house is safe. The Valley View fire is in Spokane Valley, not Spokane. While I can see the smoke on my way to and from work, it's about 10 miles or so east of us. Some of my coworkers were nearly evacuated -- one of them could see the fire from her house and got embers in her yard. So far, 2100 acres have burned, so this is considered a major fire (anything over 300 acres is considered major). Fire season has started!

Julia is nearly done with the summer term. She's teaching two courses, one meets all term Monday through Friday and will be done next week. The other is tomorrow all day. She's going to be exhausted.

Vandal is doing well still. Yea!
