Bill, thank you. Thank you. I'm from Altadena but had to leave in 2011. Altadena is my heart's home, and the wild mountains at the edge of town are my favorite place in the world. I've been reading you since I moved away -- you're the one who really showed me the level of danger to my mountains & my world and inspired me to become a climate activist -- but I had no idea that you, too, were from Altadena. Your short essay is the first attempt I've seen to put these fires into context. When I reached the last line, I cried for the first time since my city was leveled (I guess I've been in shock). Thank you so much for everything you do to promote a world that values intelligence and the way you wake up every morning ready again to love the world with all your might. Thank you. Thank you.
You work so unbelievably hard, Bill, and I cannot thank you enough. But it's also okay to take time to take care of yourself. Please do. Take time outside. Go remind yourself what all the work is for. And if we can do anything to lend you a little emotional support, let us know.

i feel kind of stunned today--too stunned to really *feel.* But one's brain keeps working.
thanks for your kind words, and also for being part of this fight
