Apparently the Terminator, Governor has declared our fire, Gap Fire; number one priority over the rest of the fires in California. (couldn't be because he owns property here?) We've packed what we can so we're ready for evacuation. The power comes and goes here, I found flashlights and a radio that does not require batteries, you just hand crank it! Double Click on the map for information on the different fires in California.
I took the trash out last night and saw the hills were on fire!? The neighbors were all sitting out with lawn chairs and binoculars keeping an eye out and listening for evacuation notice. Long night with little sleep. I'm heading into work (driving today) with family photos and a few precious books just in case. Here's a photo from last night.

Kmart promotes abstinence pants.
Jessica Valenti points out that retail chain Kmart has begun selling abstinence-gear for juniors:

The description for the products reads, “Whether she is lounging around the house, going to practice, or doing her chores. These soft athletic style crop pants will keep her comfy.” One Feministing commenter adds, “Because nothing says ‘I plan not to have sex until marriage’ like plastering text across your ass.”

Never thought of myself as a Canna, maybe a Hydrangea or a violet
