Op-Ed on fires, natural or not.

There's another big fire in SoCal around Laguna Niguel area right now! This is the second fire in the area within a year that has burned serval multimillion dollar homes.

My opinion... so what! 🤷🏻‍♂️

They built those expensive houses there and did nothing about the surrounding area.

Now not being heartless, I do care about the wildlife. They had absolutely nothing to do with the situation. Yet the owners of those homes expect others to clear the surrounding areas.

You see I have lived on a large parcel of land before for over twelve years. Twenty acres to be exact and I did my own clearing. Two acres by hand to be exact.

These people are very wealthy, I always have been poor. If I could clear two acres by hand then I can have no sympathy for any that refuse to do anything despite their own wealth!

I remember this place where you lived. 😊 Rich people are A LOT more lazier than us poor folk ever dreamed of being! But I am sorry about the wild fires and the land too.😔🔥🌳🦜

@Peaches I never actually live in that area. I only lived in Anaheim. While there are some wealthy areas in Anaheim it's not like Laguna Niguel area. Those houses are around $5,000,000 plus . The rest of OC its around $1,000,000.

It's because it's very near the beach.

@DeWayfarer YES, I remember. I loved going to Disneyland, isn't that in Anaheim?🤔I used to go to Laguna beach all the time.😊

@Peaches Disneyland, that's Anaheim of course.

Laguna Niguel is between Newport Beach and San Juan Capistrano.

Laguna itself is a bit north of Laguna Niguel.

@DeWayfarer Oh! Guess I've never been there. I do love Newport Beach.🤗💙💦

@Peaches Would love to live in Newport because myself. Far, far too much money to live there.

I learned to scuba dive at little Corona in Newport Beach. Inlaws had a lamp shop in downtown Newport beach yet didn't live there. Closer to Santa Ana actually.

Went to Orange Coast College one semester though. That was my second coarse in RPG computer programming. The first was in Cheyenne Wyoming through the University at Laramie.

@DeWayfarer That's awesome, I'd love to learn how to scuba dive! 💙💦🤗

@Peaches other than Catalina island. That's probably the best place to learn. Nice sheltered beach away from the waves because of the peninsula blocking the waves.

@Peaches Hard to find this image of Little Corona. They are always pushing Del Mar beach over Little Corona. And the two are not the same beach.

You actually have to walk over some rocks to get to Little Corona from Del Mar beach. Not easy to do wearing a wetsuit and equipment. 🤣

Lookout point
Little Corona
Newport Beach
.


That viewpoint from the top of the cliff is deceiving. It's about 100 feet high.

On the upper far left is Del Mar beach.

In the distance is Balboa peninsula.

@DeWayfarer It's so beautiful!👀😊

@Peaches there actually is a huge cave system there. But it's blocked off by a huge metal grating. You can't see it from on top though and this is the only picture I could find.😔
