As Our World Burns - 2

Fig. 1 "Traveling in a fried-out Kombie"

I am reminded of the lyrics in "This is The End":

"The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking us?"

(Far out Doors). Also I am reminded of an Australian song:

"Traveling in a fried-out Kombie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said

'Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.' "

(Land Down Under). The Los Angeles catastrophic fire storm is a sign of our times that we did not expect.

It is heartbreaking.

What are the odds that the photo (Fig. 1) is authentic (Link to AP story)?

The odds are against believing it in our current society where the general beliefs are that we are the one's in the blue bus.

Disasters and catastrophes are what is happening all around us ...  not to us ... until ...
