Altadena, .25/11

In my search, the GPS navigator kept looping me back to these two damaged vehicles. But somewhere in L.A.'s Eaton Fire-zone is the tiny secluded cemetery of science-fiction author Octavia Butler (1947-2006) in Altadena--the Black community she once called home--now destroyed by the firestorm. Octavia Butler wrote of a future Los Angeles ravaged by fire in her 1993 dystopian classic, Parable of the Sower, which also named and foretold the present "Make America Great Again" zealotry.
