that black dot is a house where I used to live, for a little while during a strange and challenging time in my life nearly a decade ago. it was a 1970s time capsule of a house where I lived with an elderly woman whose late husband had served with my grandfather in WWII. the last times I sent a postcard and called the landline, a couple years ago now, there was no response. I wonder if my old bed frame is still in the garage. I wonder if someone else lives there now. I suppose I wonder if the building is still standing, or if someone wanted a bigger house on that same lot just north of Sunset.
the red that it's subsumed within is the mandatory evacuation area for the Getty Fire.
consider this a prayer for rain.
