Glad to hear you are safe. We had really bad smoke from the Holy Fire on Thursday and Friday. It seems somewhat better today. I keep praying for rain, but so far no luck. We didn't lose anything in our fire thankfully, but we know several people who did. Plus our beautiful view along Highway 74 and 243 into Idyllwild has been ruined forever. That was deer habitat through there as well and so it will greatly affect the wildlife as well. So sad. These guys that start these fires need to be made to fight fires for the rest of their lives and be in jail when there aren't any. They will all try to act crazy now since Brown just passed that law the other day. What is this world coming too?
Now, in the worst example of rushed reform yet, Gov.
Jerry Brown this week signed into law
Assembly Bill 1810 — a budget “trailer bill” with no credited author that takes effect immediately. It includes a provision that appears to allow defendants charged with any crime to get the charges put on hold and perhaps eventually dismissed if they can persuade a judge that the offense resulted from a mental disorder that a mental health expert says is treatable.
