*Ashes to Ashes

It's summertime. Which means it's wildfiretime!

Reading this article about the AZ fires, a quote popped out at me:

"I don't want anyone's life put in jeopardy because of my cabin. Everything is replaceable, but a life is not."

And it occured to me that I haven't heard anything similar to that before. Most people are more like this:

"I can't hardly stand it to think there's a fire up there. It won't be the same if it burns up. It's like my life is going."

It's true insurance won't replace the sentimental value of the existing structure, but you're not meant to live for the past.
