Hm. Nature’s Reset Button? From hurricane to calm waters or calm waters to hurricane? Like anybody else, I think Mother Nature likes it best when she’s keeping herself busy. Tranquility is boring. Weather events are where it’s at!
But if you want a REAL reset, then wait for the seas to warm up so all that water gets pushed out into the atmosphere and deposited far inland. Normally, it can’t get far. It cools and falls out. But get enough of it, and it retains heat better, to go farther. Yeah, baby. You can get enough of it pushed far enough that it piles up as ice, miles thick, scraping away everything, down to bedrock, nearly. The mass redistribution can play heck with rotation, too, not to mention the crust deforming and breaking. Now, THAT’s a reset. And when it ends, you get massive coastal flooding, too. Nothing like it. Fire is more like a respawn, by comparison, really.
As a heretic with witchy friends I object to the term faggot as it is basic English for firewood. I like to keep the flames on the filthy weeds I stick in my face.
Nature’s Phoenix … but a LOT of my tax dollars go toward trying to control it … self-immolation and arson are another story … Meanwhile back in Paradise, CA, they should rename it Reset …!
The box that accompanied the Employee Handbook held a complete set of work clothes. Various cameras around the building had captured Cecil’s image and ergonomics as he attended the interview. He tried them on. He was not surprised to find that they fit like a second skin, indeed. Every part of them was tailored to his individual form and patterns of movement. It was disturbingly similar to being naked, really. He noted how the fit and form ignited small fires here and there from a total lack of restrictive restraint. It felt a bit like how a leopard must feel within its fur pajamas. The sudden inclination toward “the little death” was not unexpected. He had done research before approaching Second Skin, after all. Still, the warm glow of arousal still shone, regardless of his ability to suppress any response. Everything was precisely as he had assumed it would be. He was in the right place.
SMALLish fires are one thing, and fires are indeed Nature’s Reset Button (the fatal misunderstanding in California’s concept of forestry)
On the other hand, the current raging large-scale fires in heat-struck Greece are quite another matter, particularly tha one that started a few days ago in Varybobi in northern Attika. See, e.g., https://tinyurl.com/yzpomv64
Much of the tiny Plumas County community of Greenville was in ruins Thursday, reduced to ashes by the Dixie Fire.
Cal Fire said the three-week-old fire grew to 322,502 acres overnight, driven by fierce winds, and leveled parts of Greenville, a Gold Rush-era community of about 1,000. “Reports indicate that Greenville is 75 percent destroyed,” federal fire officials said in an incident briefing.
“The town is completely gone. The town has been devastated and leveled,” said Eva Gorman, owner of a shop called Josefina Fine Knits. “There’s nothing left, almost nothing left of the town.” Her own business vanished, and most of the town’s historic buildings disappeared, too.

Stick Matches on old western films instead of pocket lighters. Which came first? The lighters are older than stick matches.

…death is the ultimate reset button…
…just ask Nathan Hale….
…as the famous Wiseman, David Lee Roth once said…
…(and he was not the 1st)…
…the 1st 100 years are the hardest…
…opps…
…no…
…wait, here it is…
…the secret of a happy life is twofold…
…# 1: don’t fret the little sh>t…
…and #2: it’s all little sh>t…
…and if you are with the right person…
…[even if that is just you]…
…putting out the fires is half the fun…
…from The 2nd Book of Lame …
