The History Editor: What’s up with history, LL ?
The Santa Anna Cat: Here is one reason that California has so many wild fires. Before modern times the fires would burn naturally. The last 50 years or so the under brush has been allowed to accumulate.
https://longnow.org/ideas/the-historical-land-practices-behind-californias-fires/
People deliberately start some fires, electric lines start some. Californians build in areas where it is dangerous, and brush isn’t allowed to be cut. They build in the path of the Santa Anna Winds, which happen every year.

People get an idea and go against nature with stupid stuff. This is a totally preventable disaster.

I love old farmers
A cocky State Highway employee stopped at a farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, “I need to inspect your farm for a possible new road.”
The old farmer said, “OK, but don’t go in that field.” The Highway employee said, “I have the authority of the State Government to go where I want. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on farm land.”
So the old farmer went about his farm chores.
Later, he heard loud screams and saw the State Highway employee running for the fence and close behind was the farmer’s prize bull. The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and the bull was gaining on the employee at every step!!
The old farmer called out, “Show him your card!”

Longmore 8: The Hamster Wheel Nebula
Image Credit & Copyright: Mazlin, Parker, Forman, Magill, Hanson
Text: Keighley Rockcliffe (NASA GSFC, UMBC CSST, CRESST II)
Explanation: How did a hamster wheel get into space? The Hamster Wheel Nebula (Longmore 8) was discovered by Andrew Longmore in 1976 as a part of a larger survey of the southern sky. This survey employed several improvements in photographic technology, including the use of highly sensitive film, to capture deeper and fainter objects on plates that were examined by eye and catalogued. The featured image, taken at Observatorio El Sauce in Chile, depicts an intricate wheel structure of glowing hydrogen that was thrown out into space by a dying star and ionized by the leftover white dwarf. This structure was barely visible on the original plate, emphasizing the power of modern telescopes and cameras. Two opposing clumps of red hydrogen gas encased in the blue veil of ionized oxygen hint at the presence of a companion to the bright white dwarf at the wheel’s center!
