Flooding in the southeast (poor New Orleans!) and wildfires on the west coast
are the latest disastrous weather headlines from what has been an intense summer
and autumn (and we haven't even had a hurricane make landfall!). Meanwhile, the
outlook around here remains fair and mild, more or less as it has been for
months now. Again, this is nothing to complain about, but with other areas of
the country facing such problems, it is enough to inspire one to feel a little
guilty.

Like it matters
No, it just means not living in hilly terrain full of trees and brush. There are lots of relatively open areas, both largely populated and not, that are easier to defend against fires.
Whoosh.... hear that? That's the sound of my point going over everybody's heads! I have no problem with the fixation on California though. It keeps my favorite places on the west coast relatively sparsely populated.
