No. So your whole wishing that I would "go down to the riverbed" and become a "victim" makes no sense. Also, wishing harm (even death?) on me because I had the audacity to question a comment isn't very Christian like of you. In fact, it makes you an awful person.

Mar 12, 2023 11:11 PMFirefighters from the Lompoc Fire Department were dispatched at 7:45 p.m. to the incident at 1501 North L St. at an ag business behind Walmart on West Central Avenue, Battalion Chief Scott Nunez said. “Crews made an aggressive exterior attack and were able to contain the fire to the pallets of boxes and prevent any extension to the structures.” The fire occurred at Lompoc Valley Cooling, built 10 years ago by fourth-generation local farmer Bob Campbell. The site also is home to EpicVeg and the Campbell Ranch offices.
