Allow me to function as a beggar here for a moment. Donate according to your generosity right here. But maybe you want to see the appeal letter first?

Raison d'etre

I have found that the very feeling which has seemed to me most private, most personal, and hence most incomprehensible by others, has turned out to be an expression for which there is a resonance in many other people. It has led me to believe that what is most personal and unique in each one of us is probably the very element which would, if it were shared or expressed, speak most deeply to others.
—Carl Rogers

We may misunderstand, but we do not misexperience.
—Vine Deloria

What's madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance.
—Theodore Roethke

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
—Anne Lamott

I think that if a person doesn't feel cynical then they're out of phase with the 20th century. Being cynical is the only way to deal with modern civilization, you can't just swallow it whole.
—Frank Zappa

« Getting The Message Yet? »

DateWednesday, October 24, 2007 at 2:22AM

I picked up a copy of the San Diego Reader on Friday but didn't get to reading it until this early Wednesday morning after a few days of fires have wreaked havoc in my county. The cover story was about how dead and dry our back country is getting, and how the drought is killing off some old oaks and that even the sagebrush and other hardy local vegetation is dying off. San Diego-as-paradise is going to lose its lease given our utter dependency on foreign water. The oscillating patterns of La Nina and El Nino were discussed.

A question posed to one expert asked if the Cedar Fire of 2003 could be repeated. Hmm. What do the past few days tell us?
