My City Is Burning

The dream home, the fabled ‘house in the hills’, was always the most likely to burn. In LA, beauty and danger are sides of a coin.

I’ve been remiss, I haven’t posted a piece in a minute. I was working on something a bit longer, but then LA caught fire, we evacuated, I caught the flu… It’s been busy. But we’re lucky, we were spared, unlike so many of our friends.

I took that picture from our back deck at about 11pm or so, on the night the Eaton Fire started eating up the Angeles Forest. We fled a few hours later.

As I write this, I still haven’t returned home or shaken this flu. Still a bit scrambled.

But I did write about this experience for The New Statesman, so for those of you who haven’t already seen the piece on my social, have a read.

And hold tight. Regular programming will resume very shortly.

Stay strong LA,
