Could you please try to keep the snowstorm in your area? It's supposed to reach my area tomorrow afternoon through Friday morning. We already had more than I wanted to see on the ground. Thank you. I appreciate that.

@vandana7 Remember MAGA factor and just wait once the selective High Import Tariff condition set in. I think once Trump gets in, much of the rhetoric will go away.

@vandana7 Trump has never won the popular vote. But the fact that almost half of voting Americans voted for him three times is scary. I think we need improvement in our educational system. But I have been involved in education for most of my life and still don't know what to do. To misquote Mark Twain, "There are many Americans who have developed strong opinions without the burden of thought (or research)."

I would think stress levels in the mind would be rather high when there are calamities like that all around as frequently. Even onset of winters can trigger those stress levels....some study should be done I suppose on this. India is comparatively much safer...such episodes are not annual...our storms over fill the drains..leading to drain water constantly flowing on the roads....that is extremely annoying, but fear for life loss is rather low, even though the drain covers disappear...

Wherever Pony goes, fire follows........didn't you know? Not too long ago....he used to live in pleasant hill, and just a few weeks after he moved out ...it was "fired". Now he is at Walnut Creek....and we are inundated with fire news not too far from it. Do you think he will pack his bags and leave or will he stay there to see the fire and come up with another post....knowing him well, he will stay......he has to prove ...he is brave...sigh...hope he does not get roasted.

Glad to hear you have not been impacted by the fires. At the same time, the fires are easily preventable if California wised up and ditched stupid, liberal environmental policies that caused them to stop managing the forests. Remove the underbrush, problem solved.
