I realize I haven't commented enough here (sober anyway) for any sort of explication to be relevant. But please don't short me as uninformed or launching into areas of which I am ignorant of sense. and place.
I always loved California from the moment I saw the place. Lived there awhile at Travis and loved that too. My favoritest brother lives there presently with his new family and he and they love it there too. There is so much about it that is fine.
But then I love Chinook winds. In Denver a day of Chinook winds can clear the whole place of snow just like that, POW, snow gone.
And I notice the people who lose everything tend to be philosophical about it. Tend to, I say. Unlike what I've heard here, say, on the news when a trailer park is flooded and gewgaws and trinkets are swept away in a flash. Through teary eyes, "All mah treasures are gone!" I haven't met a military brat yet who hasn't parted with their favorite things repeatedly and understood they are just things.

It's a plasmanado!
See, Chick, I am paying attention in class.
Chicken fricassee!
See the shadow to the left of the column? The four horseman of the apocalypso!
These are the end days.
I saw something about there being some suspicions about the ignition points of 8 of the 9 fires. Uh oh
Good Lord. End times indeed.
Time to shoot some cannons.
a few songs for the occasion. Cliché
obscure.
80's arms flailing.
Jim Kerr did it too.
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way
That's horrible stuff. But it's Cali. Drought, fire, earthquake, or leftist assholes. All pretty much equal in effect.

Thanks for the bigotry, XRay!
Other Americans tend to view California the way Europeans view Americans.
In reality it's a great state choking under the yoke of single party control. The truism about things happening here first is still true.
Are you serious?
I lived there for 15 years. 15 years and two months if you count my time at Pendleton, which I normally don't.
Seriously. You say I'm a bigot.
I'm going to have ask you how so.
Perhaps you just didn't get my sad attempt at humor. That's understandable, as I fair poorly in that regard.
XRay it's just a trope I hear often enough. 51% of the state could be fucking it up but the 49% (who vote) just have to fall under the moniker.
I'm a victim too, dammit!

I'm sorry I called you a bigot, XRay. I was trying to make a pedantic point which I made.

Tornadoes are left wing and firenadoes are right wing.
You'd make an excellent student, Rabel.
