Wild Fires really bad near San Diego

With the end of Ren Fest and some personal issues, my head has been in the sand for the last few days, so I missed this completely until this morning.

There are really major wild fires in the San Diego area, with hundreds of thousands evacuated, hundreds of homes burned, and no control of the fire in sight. San Diego proper is still untouched, but the evacuation zone stretches along Interstate 5 from Oceanside all the way to Mexico.

Saw a very nice car

Driving on the beltway yesterday, saw a very nice car, possibly a luxery non-stretch limo. I thought it might be a Bentley, or a Rolls. But the emblem on the trunk was a pair of interlocked Ms, which I'd seen maybe once before, but I couldn't figure out what the company was. No other emblems or symbols. Not Bentley's flying B, not the angel thingy from Rolls.

Found the symbol on the web, turns out it was a $350,000 Maybach, one of Rolls' competition. Though why anyone would drive that 3-ton piece of art on the D.C. beltway during rush hour is beyond me.
