Fires in Southern California and John 1 Document

[Valerie Sutton]

Hello Adam and Everyone -
I am sorry you have seen worse fires, Adam, because this is pretty  
bad...

I am glad your family is ok.

I just found out that our programmer for SignBank, Todd Duell, had to  
evacuate from his home, so he is up in Los Angeles for a few days!  
Funny he would evacuate to Los Angeles ;-)

And in my neighborhood, the streets are jammed with cars of  
evacuees...thousands of people had to leave their homes and since so  
much of San Diego county is in the path of one fire or another, there  
are not that many places to go...La Jolla got a break this time...

The globe has a fever...

But SignWriting is just warming up!

Our goal now is to publish lots of literature, so there are many  
books to read in the Sign Languages of the world...

Val ;-)
