Fires in SoCal

I may have been away from my blog for a while, but the fires in SoCal have never been far from my mind, particularly as that area has been my home for 16 years or so and as most of my family and friends still live there. While the fires have not been close to my parents or family, the devastation that they have caused in the southern California area is certainly tragic and horrible. My heart goes out to those who lost their homes in the fires, and those who lost their lives as well. And I hope that if arson indeed is the cause of some of those fires those people will be brought to justice for the devastation they've caused in other people's lives. . . .
