And I'd always felt this way, but it really came home to me, as it were, some years ago when I was climbing up the stairs in my parents' house in California, and I looked through the living room windows and I saw that we were encircled by 70-foot flames, one of those wildfires that regularly tear through the hills of California and many other such places.
I oduvijek sam se ovako osjećao ali ono što sam počeo smatrati domom je bilo kada sam prije nekoliko godina penjajući se stepenicama kuće mojih roditelja u Kaliforniji, kada sam pogledao kroz prozore dnevne sobe i vidio da smo okruženi plamenom visokim 21 metar, jednim od onih divljih koji redovito haraju brdima Kalifornije i mnogim drugim sličnim mjestima.
