Thinking of fires and those having to flee homes
My heart goes out to all the people directly affected by the fires in Southern California. I hear a lot of rude remarks about the fact that people chose to live in areas prone to fire, but the truth is that none of us is free of fire danger. And as our climate shifts a bit toward increasingly arid conditions in parts of the U.S. we may see more areas prone to fire than we did even five or ten years ago. So I'd suggest that those of you pointing fingers at Southern Californians check your own local almanac statistics before you make too many judgments.
