Thank you. And I didn’t mean to say firestorms aren’t bad - they are. Luckily neither my brother nor uncle have been affected, being in L.A I guess. Nor my other relatives such as in AZ.

Of course. I wish the others on this thread were more like you. We came at cross points, but worked through it with respect. Lot's of 'I'll tell you!' territorial types on here whose rudeness I have wasted time responding to. I've posted much more on this thread than I ever intended to, because people keep writing inflammatory things at me, which have nothing to do with the hurricane or my rather benign media commentary; you know how it is. I'm ignoring them now, but it was nice conversing with you.
