Clouds? Smoke? Ash? Rain? We’re not sure anymore. The AIR in L.A. is just plain WEIRD and we don’t know what this gray stuff in the air really is. It was like over 90 degrees yesterday, and today it’s a regular Fall day in the low 60’s, with cold wind and it looks like it could rain.... but are those really clouds? Chenk kider.

Ya, so Southern Cali is burning. No worries, there’s not much burning activity going on in my neck of the woods (knock on wood), but all around us... it’s burning! There goes our AYF chapter’s winter trip to Big Bear, cause there probably aren’t any cabins for us to rent anymore. Sad... so sad! All the people who have died... what a shame! You’d think we’d be prepared for something like this -- but this is 923842379 times worse than the Northridge quake! Now our work is gonna slow down, cause getting houses insured is going to take longer, so escrows are going to take longer to close, and that slows down the loans, and so.... our business is affected.

Well, aside from the burning southern half of Cali, there’s other exciting things going on. This weekend I’ll be going to SF to go to Arax Mansurian’s concert at Liberty Hall. It should be great! (Arax Mansurian is Shushan Petrosyan’s mother by the way, who sings at the Sydney Operahouse).

Other than that, next month I’ll be going out east... and I’m finally purchasing my Armenia ticket. Looks like I’ll be there for about 3 weeks, and I’m making a 4 day stop in Prague! It should be nice!... although I know I’m gonna freeze my ___ off. :) hehehe

TSUH! :)~
