A few years ago I was on a business trip out in Montebello, a suburb near East L.A. While I was there they had one of these fires in the hills to the west. It might have been San Bernadino, which was 50 miles away. Intellectually, I knew the fire was so far away that there was no chance it would come close. Looking at the entire eastern horizon on fire, though, I felt like it was close enough to roast marshmallows.
