I drove through the Oakland hills with Mozart's Requiem playing in the car a couple of days after the 1991 Oakland Hills Firestorm. A very humbling experience. I think man is a bit conceited when we worry we might destroy the earth. The earth will inevitably destroy us. She can kick our butts whenever she wants to. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones, homes, pets, treasured and irreplaceable possessions, and had their lives turned upside down with little warning. Now comes the healing and rebuilding.
