Glinda and the Fires!

By Manolo the Shoeblogger

Manolo says, Glinda the Good, who lives in Orange County, has just sent the following message to the Manolo.

Our power has been out since 10:30pm last night, and it isn’t looking good. I’m typing this at the library. The winds here are incredibly bad, trees are knocked over everywhere and basically it is like living in a hurricane. They clocked the wind speed in the canyon we live in at 85mph. So, we are not sure when our power is going to be restored, and we may have to relocate for the night if the power is not back on soon. We’ve already probably lost all the food in our fridge. It is too hot to stay in our house, and we can’t open the windows up because ash is being blown everywhere due to all the brush fires that surround us on three sides. Fun times.

And now the Manolo must ask that the readers of the Teeny Manolo please keep Glinda in their thoughts and prayers, that she and her family and friends be delivered safely from this disaster.

Glinda, my heart goes out to you and all of the residents of that ravaged area. May the nightmare pass quickly and may you and yours come safely through it. You are in my prayers. Also to all of the readers of the Manolo, please keep the brave men and women who are battling this blaze in your thoughts & prayers as well.

I hope she doesn’t step out again to email; some things just aren’t worth it.

Keep safe, we’re trying to. And no more e-mails until you’re out of danger

[...] summary, for those of you who didn’t tune in to yesterday’s episode: Glinda lives in Southern California and spent much of yesterday watching wildfires creep closer [...]
