I lived a block away from the iconic Santa Monica Home Savings mural by Sheets. Such a joyful perfect work for the place, we preserved it for fifty years. Now it has a new home at the beautiful new Hilbert Museum at Chapman, where I now teach.

This salute was popular in American schools until the 1930s. The Nzis Forever tainted the gesture - No American would *ever* use it.
Anyone who uses it is no American.

I wish more attention was given to ten thousand+ people who lost their homes, who aren't in a fancy part of town.

Malibu is incredibly beautiful and dangerous. A wildfire capital of the world plus severe storm damage from the ocean. Over thirty fires in the last ninety years. The illustration shows how much had burned *before* the Palisades fire. Climate change is making the fires worse.
