San Diego – a contrast in time

by Skip

A co-worker that lives and works in San Diego sent these to me and I just kinda sat there in amazement in the difference a couple of months could make.

Here’s the first:

 

San Diego snow covered mountains

 

 

The second is after the jump. 

(H/T: Karen) 

San Diego wild fires

Some of my co-workers were evacuated during the recent fires….I can’t imagine the feeling and looking up, seeing that, and wondering if my home and that of my neighbors were safe….

….or whether the fire would stop only at the water’s edge, having no other place to go….

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    I used to live in San Diego (stationed, to be more accurate), and moved out from OC last year. Hard to believe this is the SECOND time in four years something like this has happened. But wildfires are part of Californa’s culture now along with earthquakes and mudslides. Why, you ask? Because environmentalists will not allow controlled burns (nor will the AQMD–Air Quality Management District) and assuming that a 200-foot firebreak in tinder-dry country which got FOUR INCHES OF RAIN IN THE LAST YEAR is somehow going to stop an ember blowing in 60-mph plus winds. Sad to see what my former home state has turned into.
