| A Chatsworth neighborhood is destroyed in the Clampitt Fire, which started Sept. 25, 1970 |
I didn't find any science fiction that appealed to me while I was at Powell's on Saturday, so I went across the aisle to the Mystery & Thriller section where I found three books by MacDonald:
- The Underground Man a 1971 novel by Ross Macdonald
- The Rasp from 1979 by Philip MacDonald
- A Flash of Green from 1962 by John D. MacDonald
I picked up all three. I've heard of Ross and John D. before, but Philip is new to me. We shall see how they pan out. No, they are not related. Ross is a pen name.
I started reading The Underground Man and like many of Ross MacDonald's books, is a story about Lew Archer, a private investigator in Los Angeles. And guess what's happening? The city is on fire. Huh.

I grew up 3 miles from there.
Build neighborhoods right next to hills that burn every other year.
Hilarity ensues.
Again and again and again.
Not funny, but I laughed.
