Of course I hope that it's insignificant, no one gets injured, and any property losses are small.

However....

I would tune in to watch the Sky Eye 'copter coverage of the evacuations of Malibu and Newport Beach.

Filthy rich Democrats running for their lives. Just 90 minutes south, stinkin' rich Republicans running for their lives.

10 minutes after all are evacuated, the skycam zooms down on the streets and sidewalks.

It reveals, in both locales, a beach of lost Breitlings glinting in the light, a Fiestaware sampling of inscribed rubber credo bracelets, broken Prada heels of every imaginable color, size and texture, and, about every 75,' a confused Shitzu trying to escape from a Gucci bag.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
