Want To Know What's Going On? .....

..... in Malibu and the rest of the scorched Southland," asks Mayrav at fishbowlLA. "You could turn on the news, or you could do what you're probably already doing - reading the blogs." Here is the rest of that post. In another post, 'The Future Of Reporting,' Mayrav states, "the LAT's fire blog is exactly what newspapers will be doing with all breaking news coverage some day. And that's not a bad thing." (Photo from Mayrav's post, selected from the LA Times' Reader Photo Gallery)

Here, in West Texas, Wallace at Streams has been keeping in touch, shares the news he has gotten from friends in the fire's path.

Also, this word from one of my favorite Jeffs, a longtime friend and longtime resident of San Diego ..... "Thanks for your concern. We are okay and in one of the few places that’s not burning in San Diego County. The Witch Creek fire is just a few miles north of us and the Harris fire is just south and east. We are in lots of smoke with burning eyes and stuffy noses but no flames ...thanks goodness. I was called in to the radio stations yesterday at 5:30am to report on the fires all day. It was very emotionally draining. Today we are sitting pretty tight and watching the devastation around us on TV and praying our good luck continues. What will be discovered in the days to come is very saddening."

George, my pleasure. And one thing I like ..... one doesnt have to live/work in a major market such as L.A. ..... it is absolutely 'do-able' in any size market where the mainstream media have an online component.
