It’s so odd right now because the weather is gorgeous (one of the reason why we’re here in CA) and makes you want to smile. Pavlovian response.
It’s odd how tech is so advanced that 3D printing wildfire proof homes fast is a realistic possibility, yet no one seems to know? Billionaires will sell you cars and sponsored posts but actual value to your life, nope.
It’s odd that I’m currently looking to buy some land and that this tragedy opens up a whole range of possibilities.
But my heart is sick. Those grey and dusty pictures are killing me. When I say the words Pacific Palisades, beautiful caramel brown bark comes to mind. Shade comes to mind. Green and blue comes to mind. Altadena was a pure jewel that I couldn’t wait to visit again. That natural serenity is going to take so long to come back.
The reality that this destruction is our own destruction by ourselves, that the Palisade fire might have been triggered by some idiot probably doing it for the Viral, makes me want to beat the shit out of anyone working at those social media and phone companies, on sight.
It’s so sad how dumb we can be. It’s actually odd.
