Winter isn't wildfire season & yet down the road from me an entire neighborhood burnt to the ground in a few hours, the day before New Year's. The trajectory for humanity looks bad. For all our pride in our big brains, we apparently lack the imagination to visualize how drastically our world is about to change. Man, did I ever hit the human lottery in terms of when & where I was born.
