The Blue Cut Fire raged in the hills to the east of my college campus, causing my coworkers and myself to be evacuated from our building as the roads became choked with evacuees from the Lytle Creek and Devore areas. We’re seated smack dab in the middle of these two towns, and the road we sit on is often a “short cut” when the traffic on the freeway gets nutty. So I got to head to school early to pick up a free planner (yay!) and tromp about in 111° weather (not yay), then grab a bite to eat before heading into my first day of class, which was…a mistake...
