It is hard to think of medieval happenings when so many of our fellow Americans are under siege. I hope that all of my California readers are safe. So far, my friends seem to be okay, although several had to evacuate their home in Northern California yesterday for some scary hours. Each day seems to bring more bad news. Today they had to close part of the 405 freeway, which must have resulted in instant gridlock for thousands of unlucky drivers. The world-famous Getty Museum is threatened, too, although the museum people insist their artworks are safer where they are because of the high-tech protection. I so hope they are right. For those who want to help Californians who’ve lost their homes, the Salvation Army is usually a good choice. People who’ve never experienced anything like this cannot imagine how horrific it is. Here are some stunning, terrifying photos of the fires this weekend, which show yet again the incredible courage of firefighters.
