Being evacuated due to a wildfire that nearly
burned down your neighborhood is a sobering thing. And as the Santa Ana winds
blast away outside again, as they have every other Monday for the past five
Mondays, two of which sparked wildfires, I’ve never hoped for it to rain so
much in my life! But here in Southern California, the chances of a good, soaking
rain this early in the season are pretty much nil. So on pins and needles I
sit.
