Fire Purrs
Can purrs steer the California wildfires? I dunno, but I'd like to
request at least some good thoughts be sent the way of some of my relatives in California. They live in Laguna Hills, in Orange County, and the Santiago fire is "just over the hill." They're not under evacuation orders yet, but have been told (informally) to start gathering and packing, just in case they need to move quickly. It's my understanding that authorities believe the Santiago fire was started in at least 3 different locations by arsonists. So lets get some of those good vibrations going for some rain, or to at least slow down the Santa Ana winds out there. And major dirty litterbox droppings on the arsonists who made Mother Nature doing her thing even worse than usual! Jeanne via Google Groups |

And major dirty litterbox droppings on the arsonists who made Mother Nature doing her thing even worse than usual! I think it was 1998 that we had our worst bushfires of several decades if not centuries. Of course, the arsonists picked the days that naturally suit bushifires - the ones with the very hot, dry, gusty strong winds. Wiped out large tracts of natural forest, took out alot of houses, and made the sun look blood red because of all the smoke in the air. We had to get to my sister's place for Christmas lunch, and had to constantly listen to the radio to find out which roads had been cut off by the fires - its usually 40 minute drive but we had to take a detour and it took us three hours to get there. We had to take another route again on the way home as the fires had changed as we were eating. As we drove in seperate cars, my parents and I staye din contact for the drive through mobile phones- that was a nasty bill when it came, but I'm glad we knew each other was OK. I remember walking out the front of our house on Christmas evening, seeing the scallops of fire fronts coming down the escarpment and looking in both awe at the beauty and fear that it would soon be our turn. Later that evening, we heard the fire engines screaming up our main arterial road, and readied ourselves to be evacuated - as hte village next to us was. Nights were very difficult, because as the air cooled, the smoke sank to the ground, and we had to keep the windows closed otherwise we'd choke, but it made it stifling hot in the house. There were some rather sleepless nights that year. Our capital, Canberra, went through the same thing 3 or 4 years ago and it was arsonists too. Because the ACT is a small territory, and the location of the fires, there wasn't enough fire fighters able to get to the fire fronts in time and alot more houses and unfortunatley lives were lost. Although 250km away, the smoke reached us and I think I posted photos of how much smoke was inthe air from a fire 250km away - apprantly it even reached New Zealand. You'd think that anyone growing up in bushfire prone areas would understand just how horrific, scary and destructive they are. I waver on what to do with an arsonist, on one hand I can only conclude they *must* be mentally unwell to do such a thing, and are therefore not as culpable as a sane person for their actions, and the other part wants them charged with everything that the can be charged with, including multiple animal cruelty for all the animals that suffer and indeed die in bushfires, and even murder if someone dies as a result of the fire they lit. So, many purrs to all the lives effected by the bushfires in California. Hope they can put them out soon. Yowie |

Jeanne via Google Groups I had a cousin (now RB) who lost everything in a California fire many years ago. All they saved were the clothes they wore, their two cars and two dogs. Her only child now lives in Santa Barbara. I hope she is safe. I haven't heard from her in a long time. We are purring for all in the path of the fires. MMLB |
