Wildfires

As usual,

this time of year always brings,

The California Wildfires.

Right now,

as I write this Post,

two California towns north of San Francisco,

Middletown & Cobb,

have been devastated by these

Wild Fires.

Thousands of residents have been evacuated from their homes,

and everyone living here in California should be prepared for the same.

As the population grows,

because of more children being born,

immigrates from other countries,

or people just moving to California from other states,

more land is needed to fulfill

The California Dream.

Everyone comes here for the hope of somehow having their dreams fulfilled for a better life then the one they already have.

California is Gold,

as they say.

If your dream is in Music,

Television,

Movies,

Sports,

Technology,

Business,

Inventing,

Medicine,

or being an Entrepreneur,

you come from all around the World to live here California.
Dreams are fulfilled here.

This is why we are encroaching further up the

Mountain Ranges

and the

Desert Sands

to build houses.

As we invade these areas,

we should be aware of the possibilities of natural disasters.

I can't quote how long it's been going on,

but in the

California Mountain Ranges,

wild fires have been going on for hundreds of years.

Maybe thousands.

It's a way for

Mother Nature

to replenish the nutrients in the soil.

"Many ecosystems, particularly prairie, savanna, chaparral and coniferous forests, have evolved with fire as a necessary contributor to habitat vitality and renewal. Many plant species in naturally fire-affected environments require fire to germinate, establish, or to reproduce." - Fire Ecology - Wikipedia.

We build houses in ares that have had

wildfires for centuries

and wonder why?

We build houses in the desert

and wonder why

it never rains?

I love California.

It gave me the riches I was seeking.

A family.

That is why I came here.

The California Dream.

So,

we will always be short of the annual rainfall

The Northwest United States

has,

and we will always have

Wildfires

every year.

It's the Cost of Living the California Dream.

This is,

The Richest Man I Can Be,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"California, A State Of Mind."

- Jim Hauenstein, I thought of it first! -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
