Ina, In a bad year our wild fires can be quite exciting. It would be laughable for me perhaps if the house I had built had not been the last to burn in our "49er" fire many years back. Sadly/fortunately my ex wife, largely but not entirely ex as a result, were not living there at the time and it was up for sale. Sadly because as the house was unoccupied the insurance company refused to pay. Fortunately as we were not living there, most of our belongings had been removed and I am no longer am married to my ex. I won't expound on that latter topic. Let's just say better things followed, plants being among some of the most reliable. :o) Randy
