The Flames Are...Choppy?

Sigh, another freakin fire between me and me apartment. The LA Times is blogging it.

Chocie quote:

As of 5 p.m., L.A. fire officials said they were cautiously optimistic that the conditions were beginning to shift in their favor. The fire was still burning out of control, but officials said it seems to be less of a threat now to the L.A. Zoo and merry-go-round. But it could be well into the night before firefighters gained any level of containment.

Greaaaaat. Oddly, the traffic on the 5 doesn't seem to be affected.
