I'm far from being religious but seeing that there's a Tsunami watch in California , given the fires, etc., seems close to a course. I feel for them.

No need to worry about chip manufacture in the US. There's now a plant in Arizona. There used to be one in Led Zeppelin.

I still keep trying to think about how this car will manage to close anything, let alone a house. And how could they know? Anyway, I would be worried, too, if a car tried to close my house.

"You're car is to close to my house!"
That is an instruction, to close the distance between the car and the house, presumably to zero.

Ah! I thought close in the sense of lock.

without the word "to", you would have been correct. In English "close to my house" is distance. "close my house" is a command.

Did you hear about the truck that got into a wreck and spilled thousands of slippery hotdogs all over the road?

The cleanup crew didn't relish its job.
