It also occurs to me-- back in the fall, Southern California was ravaged by out-of-control wildfires...the worst in the history of the state. Santa Ana dry air and winds pushed the flames through not only all the backcountry, but also wiped out whole communities in L.A., San Diego (my hometown), and most places in-between. Four enormous blazes, several of which combined in stretching walls of flame.
But none of the fires reached so far north as Santa Barbara.
I am not one for superstition, but if I meet the Pope in my next life, I'll pass on the word that while the City of Angels burned, Santa Barbara was untroubled.

ps--
Have you ever read "Sister Mary Ignatious Explains it All" by Christopher Durang? It's a play-- there was a television version of it with Diane Keaton made some time ago, as well-- which is worth watching, if one can find it-- but it is strange and clever and very worth the read, in my estimation.
