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.
Sempre me senti assim, mas só me dei conta disso, há alguns anos atrás, enquanto subia as escadas da casa dos meus pais na Califórnia, olhei pelas janelas da sala e vi que estávamos rodeados por chamas de 30 metros, um daqueles incêndios que, com regularidade, devastam as colinas da Califórnia e muitos outros lugares.
