It's Gettin' Kinda Smokey Here

Above, the NOAA satellite image of the Springs Fire.

The Springs Fire in Ventura County (and creeping towards Malibu) and another fire in Glendale has bequeathed the San Fernando Valley with a big cloud of smoke.

I just stepped out several minutes ago and was greeted by eye-burning smoke. Seems like November already.

The Springs Fire has grown to 28 square miles. The Glendale fire is near the 134 and 2 freeways.

Kelsey's Army Safety Tips

I don't know how many young women come to this blog or how many are parents of teenage or young adult women, but here are some safety tips from Kelsey's Army:

1. Trust your instincts - If something feels wrong then something probably is wrong.

2. Know your surroundings - know who and what is around you.

3. Always have a plan for where you would go and what you would do if a situation arises.

4. Be willing to make a scene in order to be noticed.

5. Let someone know where you are going and when you will be back.

Remember the acronym TIPS:

Take Charge
Inform others of your whereabouts
Prepare for any situation
Survival Mentality (role play situations so you will respond should they happen)
