Sorry I haven't had time to keep up till now Clint. I had forgotten you are in Southern California. I lived in Venice beach, North Hollywood, Laurel Canyon, Malibu, and on and on for the first 45 years of my life. I was born 9 miles south of city hall in Huntington Park. Have had dear friends who've had to evacuate but so far none have lost homes. I'll try to get through the rest of your posts to date, tonight. I do enjoy your work so very much. Hope all is well with you. Again, Thanks for all your hard work. a.

Thanks, Allen. I know a lot of folks who had to evacuate and have a friend of a friend who lost everything. Even though I barely know them, it hits too close—literally to home. Appreciate your comment…and no apologies needed. Collide Press is not meant to be homework. :-)

Thinking about you and other friends I have there, I find that words fail to address the incomprehensible suffering and destruction of resources. It is good to know you and your domicile are safe for now.
