You know, I haven't paid super close attention to what's going on now, but the big story of water in California is agriculture, not salmon. It's really not. So to me, it's like if you're not talking about agriculture when you're talking about water in California, you're having a completely disingenuous conversation.

So I don't know exactly what's going on with these wells that had sort of dried up uphill and downhill. I think it was in Altadena. I think that's a much more local issue. But on a big scale of like, is this, you know, people getting precious about salmon? That's a political conversation, not a practical one.

You know, there are things like... a certain subset of experts really talk about that are practical that you can do for your own home. Like have what people call a defensible space around your home. Like don't have a lot of like, vegetation right up against your building, you know, like clear your yard, have a roof that is far more fire safe than the roof that's probably on your house right now.

So there's like a lot of talk about, you know, ways that you can just get your house not to light your neighbor's house on fire. Like a lot of the fire people also talk about that, that it's a little bit of a herd immunity problem that once a community starts burning, you know, All the houses are far more vulnerable.

So if you have a house that's just like a tinderbox, you're putting your neighbor at risk. So there's that sort of very local level of protection. And then I think that there are just the big issues like this is a climate change problem or it's exasperated by climate change. It is going to get worse. We have some control over how much worse it's going to get, right?

And that conversation and even just the idea of climate change so often gets left out of reporting when you're in a moment. There's like a huge house, like some celebrity's house is on fire. And that's like far more compelling than emissions. But if we're going to have a saner future, that needs to be part of the conversation.

We can't put our heads in the sand. And it's an issue that exists on like the biggest scale and the smallest scale. Like you're saying, like we're in a moment where politically it's really difficult to do anything about what was already a monstrously difficult problem. But you can still decide where you live. You can still decide what kind of roof you have.

You can still, you know, you can still make these very, these very civic choices, which we do have a lot of control over.
