guess what lucky forum goer won a mandatory evacuation from San Diego due to fires?

I had to write this post on my PSP using the free wireless internet in my hotel.

Welcome to San Deigo. Please step left for obligatory showers, or right for obligatory seven course buffet meal. It is obligatory that you do not step forwards, and obligatory that you avoid wearing shoes whenever possible.

Got evacuated yesterday, fires started day before that but werent close enough to be a threat.

What really sucks about this is that peoples homes are just now geting finished rebuilding from the fire we had 2 days from today 4 years ago.

Good your safe. I have to say when I saw the title of the thread I was fearful of a much different subject matter.

You gotta be kidding. I packed everything the night before in case I got evacuated. 4 computers, 1-2000 CDs, a N64 with 2 boxes of games, collectibles, crap I don't even remember buying ect...
