Grew up in beautiful Altadena; now aging in place in the great damp PNW.

Mom was always casually sophisticated, even at age 15 (in 1945)

Time to re-read Parable of the Sower, by Octavia Butler. Climate change chaos, apocalyptic fires, the year 2025...

Octavia Butler lived in Pasadena and Altadena for many years, and is buried there. (She went to John Muir High School and Pasadena City College -- me too!)
