sad and scary. sifting through the ashes in your 70’s a a whole lifetime is reduced to memories only. stuff from my long gone grandfather, her long gone father. it really boggles the mind.
But in the end. it’s stuff. and the people are okay.

Beyond the destruction, watching an active wildfire brings up hell and damnation imagery that is hard to ignore. Lastly, for me, the random nature of fires can be hard to take. Whole neighborhoods destroyed except that one house still standing. Fires aren't logical and understandable. ________________________________ <em> It's amazing to me that this particular fire was created out of negligence and stupidity.

Even though I left California in 1982, I agonize over every flame as if it creeps toward my own feet. ________________________________ <em> I don't think you ever shake it.
