What UC is what you get

We're here in Santa Barbara both going to UCSB and living the married college life. Here you can read about nerd stuff, current protests at our school (or other strange liberal causes), and basically the haps of our UC life, and other parts of life as well!

Fire update

We left home for 4th of July to escape the smoke. We weren't going to go, then we were, then we weren't, then we went anyway. We drove up July 3rd at night, had 4th of July yesterday, and we still keep checking the news for the progress of the fire. It's worse, but not by too much! They've issued some more evacuation orders, but not to us. Here, let me show you:

















The fire is probably a couple of miles from our house, but we were still affected by smoke, and it's a chaotic system, so it could come and burn up parts of the town. As far as I know, no houses have been destroyed, but the fire has come close to some. Also, today (Saturday) they are issuing free gas masks for people that need to be outside and can't avoid the smoke because the air quality is so bad.
So that's that, I'm glad we're not there, but I only wonder what we'll face when we have to go back home. More pictures and news to follow!
