No pretty pictures today; just images that are indicative of where my thoughts are at the moment.
Saturday morning, 8:00 a.m., I heard many sirens and vehicles racing by and when I looked out our tv room window, I saw a big plume of black smoke. It wasn't until later that I was able to figure out where it came from but I still don't know what started the fire.
I walked by there this afternoon, but didn't want to get too close as there were workers there doing cleanup.
This is a car parked next door at the neighbor's house. I noticed that behind the burnt building that there were many other burned out vehicles. It's a wonder there was only black smoke from all that and no explosions.
Of course, this has me thinking about the fires in Los Angles now and the total devastation so many are facing.
Just as when I see any sort of rubble and destruction, I think of Palestine, specifically Gaza, where nearly 90% of the infrastructure has been decimated in the past 15 months. Add to that the bombing of Lebanon, Syria -- and just earlier today, the US and UK were bombing Yemen, yet again.
Everything that is wrong in this world can be traced back to corporate greed, warmongers and the lust for power and control of land and resources. Mainstream media and politicians are masters of manipulation, propaganda and gaslighting.
If you're not angry, you're not paying attention.
