[TheForge] Charcoal and Jon Sloan

Yea, most everyone here is ok.  From the news (even the local here) you would
think that everyone is in dire straights.  From LA to San Diego there are
several millions of people and maybe a million homes and businesses. Although
our hearts go out to the several hundred who lost their homes and the couple
of dozen who lost their lives - it is really a tiny percentage.  The property
damage from fires here is trivial when compared to hurricanes in the
southeast or flooding and tornados in the midwest but wow do we get the
press!!!!  Anyway, when all is done and the fires put out, most of the
mountains here should burn every decade or so. Unfortunately, we have
prevented them from doing so and disasters like this occur.
