Some of those fires are in my old stomping grounds. Sad. But there are
always
fires in those places, every decade or three.

The worst So Cal fires were in the late 1930s. Every mountain seemed
to be on
fire. But now there are more people building more houses where there
shouldn't
be any houses and any fire becomes a conflageration.

A bit of trivia. The correct name for those hot, dry, i.e., "devil"
winds off
the desert is Santana, not Santa Ana.

Apparently, the dust bowl and WWII boom immigrants had never heard of
the
renegade Apache or knew what his name meant, but they knew of the town
(or
river) by the name of Santa Ana.

One can't blame them, though. Native Californians like myself spoke in
what was
called the California mumble. The newbies apparently misunderstood
what we were
saying and thought we were mumbling Santa Ana when we really did say
Santana.

Brother Stair is in fine form again, shouting about the fires right now.
He's speculating that fires are the precursor to the deaths of Pope John
Paul, Mr. Ronald Reagan and "somebody else". These deaths will be a
human sacrafice so the Devil can come back and walk the Earth.

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A HOLLOWEEN LIKE THIS ONE BEFORE!!!!

The California mudslides back in the late 60s meant pretty much the same
thing for a few of the people in my Church, as I remember from my Sunday
School days.

That's the End Times for ya. They never really end.
