Googled North Island.
A Navy dentist, Dick and
Anne can shelter there.

Evacuated,
one woman watched her home burn
live on CNN.
San Diego fire 7 – relocation
Anne is heading to
North Island. She carries our
thoughts, prayers and love.
Imbalance
Drought parched hillsides. Drenched
rivers nibble collapsing
roads. Some thirst. Some drown.
San Diego fire 6 – evacuation
A walk uphill at
4am to say goodbye
to the neighborhood.

California burns.
Your life separate from us?

San Diego fire 3
Spring Valley is bone
dry. Here in New York skies rain
