I have been living in Long Beach CA since the USN moved me out here in 1985. On Saturday, I drove some donations up to Burbank and met with a friend who had lost her home. There is so much sadness right now, you can almost wade through it, but man are Angelinos stepping up. Many donation drop-off sites are having difficulty keeping up with the sheer number of things people are giving. It can make you cry, and often does. California isn't perfect but it is the home of the Beach Boys, Disneyland, Hollywood, etc. And we are not going anywhere. We will help anyone if we can, even those ignorant asshats that continually vote against doing ANYTHING to address the growing climate crisis.

I loved reading this Liam. It reminded me of all the reasons I love California, and why there are few places in the world where I would rather live. And also why I worry about its future. Or more pointedly, about my children's future living here.
