We're open and getting boxes going, so it's ok to place your orders. UPS and USPS are both servicing our location. I'm trying to keep my google map updated, as a lot of folks are using it for information. (174000+ views)

The fires are raging, but oddly, it seems everyone is a touch relaxed as the fire seems to be of predictable scope. The sky is smoky and some ashes are falling here at the shop, only a mile from Qualcomm Stadium.

We're closed. Two fires of 8000 and 14000 acres have grown to 8+ fires!! Freeways are closed, massive evacuations, authorities urging everyone to stay in their homes. Expect we will not answer phones, ship packages, or make credit card transactions until Wednesday.

Below is something of a status map as of 0700 on Monday 22 October 2007

Hey Everyone,

We haven't yet been directly affected by San Diego's Witch Fire, however, we'll update with the latest news if we need to temporarily close.

The San Diego “Witch” fire is too reminiscent of 2003's deadly “Cedar” fire, only the “Santa Ana” winds are much worse this year than in 2003!! The Cedar fire covered 20 miles in only a few hours powered by strong Santa Ana winds, traveling from the same area as the “Witch” fire and across the route CCW employees travel to work!
