Movie Tuesday
Our Tuesday movie was "Snow White and the Huntsman," clearly not a fairy tale for children. We big kids, however, enjoyed the movie with all of its fantasy. The wicked queen was played by Charliez Theron, who was alternately beautiful and way old and ugly. It all depended on her inhaling the essence of young maidens leaving them dead, of course. What she really needed was the heart of Snow White, hence the huntsman. The only thing missing was Prince Charming. I won't say who took on his role. We all (Dennis, Mom and I) thought it was a good movie.
Power Link Fire in Alpine
It didn't take long for a fire to start after the Power Link went on line. On Monday there was a fire on a tower in Alpine that wouldn't go out until they shut off the power. I don't have photos, but it was on the news.
"Old" Fire
Sunday brought another fire in East County. For some reason, the media is calling it the "Old Fire." Maybe because it was at Old Hwy. 80? I don't know, but the fire was located near the Golden Acorn Casino, about 7 miles from us. That fire has burned about 900+ acres, including one home. We drove up and took some photos when it first started and then again in the evening. The fire had spread so much that they closed Old Hwy. 80. Since we couldn't go that way, we took the freeway so we could see how bad the fire had gotten. Here are some photos.
