Although the fires in the LA area are terrible, I was brought back
to reality when I contacted a friend who lives in Santa Rosa, CA, north
of San Francisco, and who lost his house (and three classic cars), there
a few years ago to wildfire. He now works and has an apartment in LA, so naturally I was worried for him. He replied to my query by saying that
he is in Downtown Los Angeles, which is unaffected. The only signs have
been some smokey skies and some distant smells of fire. He sounded
totally unworried, at least for now. We just do not appreciate the size
of the American conurbations.

I'm told that real Angelenos tend not to call their city "LA".
