Have a friend who grew up in southern California, and he always states that the fall season is the driest and hottest.

Remember, to charge up your cars, to get away from the fires.

Oh wait a minute, has Newsome made all the fire trucks electric?

In Nov. 1961 "484 homes were destroyed in Bel Air." In Oct. 1991 3,000 homes were destroyed in Berkeley hills. In Oct. 2017 3,500 homes and rare vineyards were destroyed in Napa Valley. Autumn is time to be careful. St. Florian is the patron of firefighters and May 4 is International Firefighters Day.

I remember some years ago when I lived in California, the media showed a grainy black and white film which depicted Richard Nixon standing on his roof, using a garden hose to wet down the roof.

Bel Air is the super rich neighbor to Beverly Hills. I think it is ritzier than Beverly Hills.
