Tom's been doing evacuation info updates to the NORAD/Northcom internal hub since the Waldo Canyon fire broke out yesterday. He just got called in to work to handle official press releases concerning military planes being called in to aid in fire abatement. They weren't allowed to be sent in earlier because of criteria about civilian fire fighting aircraft needing to either be fully utilized or unavailable first.
We're not worried about it reaching us - this is on the extreme opposite side of the city - but I'm probably going to drop off some donations to the local Red Cross chapter this week. :(

Monkey boys are being monkeyish. I'm watching Netflix and trying to convince my GI tract they don't really need to give me a full case of their stupid tricks today, just the annoying taste I'm already experiencing. :/

Of potential interest to those on my friends list:
http://www.tradewindsresort.com/autismfriendly.aspx Tom and I are considering the place for our next family vacation. They are NOT cheap - but probably feasible if a family devoted its entire tax refund one year to a trip.

I need to go rescue Mark - sent him to his room for some quiet time, since he was clearly over tired. (Woke up around midnight, while Tom was playing video games, and had himself a freakout of undeterminable origins) Jack decided to join him, more out of eagerness to bounce on mark's bed than out of interest in his brother, and it's clearly getting poor Mark more upset. :(
