Fuck, i went through this bullshit so many times from 1992 through 2004 with places I had in Glendale and Pasadena...not so much fires every year obviously, but the threat of them. There was one Huge fire on a Hill in Glendale in 1996 that was within a 1/4 mile of my house, but it was stopped by the 2 fwy and a bunch of Armenians pissing off the overpass onto the flames. I am sure one of them has starred in a Pissmops scene since then...
But seriously folks, the drought along with the Santa Ana winds is the worst possible combo. I remember every year my nostrils being totally dried and my eyes stuck shut in the morning because there was 0 moisture in the air when the winds blew.
I hope the Randalls are ok....this is why living in New England this time of year rocks...what's my biggest worry? Besides the saps dripping on my cute little cabin in Vermont, my yards are covered with dead leaves. As soon as the dude I hired makes them into piles, I will be playing in them with my nieces and nephews.
