Except those of us who are the cream, art. Don't forget that part. Can't have a bowl of granola without cream.

Bobert, the big fires never come within singing distance of my place. I'm high enough above sea level that I am not worried about warming-induced sea-rise. We don't get tornados or floods, like so many folks in the Great Middle part. Least not down here. We get droughts summat but not that interrupt our lives much. We have the entire Pacific as our back yard, and Big Bear's ski resort and Idylwild's camping and about six Indian casino all within an hour's drive, more or less. We never have to wear heavy overcoats and when the really bad winter chills strike we put on light sweaters. We run the furnace maybe 8 days out of the year after sundown.

Any other questions?
