Fires In Southern California -- December 6, 2017

It will only be a matter of time before talking heads and the mainstream media "blame" this fire on global warming. California television reporters have noted that an almost-identical fire -- same time of the year -- occurred back in 1961, and was much worse, destroying over 400 homes. That fire was called the "Bel-Air fire." That fire began as a brush fire. Hmmm....

We've driven this route "a gazillion times." We visit the Getty Center every time we visit southern California which is at least once a year.

The cars in this photo are heading south, and in about a quarter-mile they will pass the exit to the Getty Center. It's hard to believe that the flames appear to have surrounded the Getty; whether the flames have engulfed, or will engulf, the Getty -- I do not know. It goes without saying there is some priceless art in that center.
