Last week the bi-annual California wildfires commenced once again, destroying thousands of acres of pristine dried forest. I've visited California many times and I've never once had the inclination to live there. Yes it's a beautiful part of the country, but add a terrible freeway system and the constant threat of environmental/natural disasters that should be a tell-tale sign that maybe you are not suppose to live there? Maybe when the big earthquake that is proposed by the Discovery Channel hits maybe things will change...
To my knowledge scouring the news reports was that there were thankfully no fatalities but over 600 homes were destroyed. Thank fully Oprah's ,massive 42-acre estate (with both ocean front and mountain views) in Monticito was spared. Frankly I was more concerned about her many dogs that reside at her Monticito estate, otherwise known as -- "The Promised Land".
Rob Lowe one of Oprah's neighbors, home and valuables was spared. I wonder if the original master copies of Rob Lowe's 1988 sex tape featuring himself in a menage a trois with a 16 year old at the Republican National Convention made it through unscathed as well?
Unfortunately the real celebrity tragedy of course is the destruction of Christopher Lloyd's home. LLoyd was filming in Canada at the time of the fires and the majority of his home was destroyed, including his large collection of antique furniture and memorabilia throughout his career.
I've never really seen the 'real' Christopher Lloyd, still the footage that's been shown on television of Lloyd sifting through the ashes that was once his living room is sobering none the less.

I'd really like to see the poor people whose houses get destroyed by these wildfires at least once on the news. Fires keep destroying California, I doubt they have class sensitivity. All though...
