    Interesting picture in the background.

    But what exactly is that person doing?

    And is that an alien about to protrude from their stomach?

        When fires break up simultaneously in many different places, at about the same time, in a windy day, be sure it is arson. When this happens in an inhabited area, where there are no special interests on starting a fire (landgrabbing, stripping the woods to turn them to fields or pastures), then it's either a wacko pyromaniac or a foreign agent responsible.

        Arson is by far the most safe and effective way a single person can do damage to a country. If I were the Al Qaeda and i wanted to hurt America, I'd have all my people start fires in the suburbia, during the summer.

            You're kidding, right?

            It's a windy day. Burning embers from the fire get picked up, carried a mile, and drop down on dry wood and make it catch fire as well. that's how fires start simultaneously.

              Looks like the fires may move the Monday Night Football game from San Diego to Arizona.

              It doesn't help that the parking lot at Qual Com stadium is being used as an evacuation center.

                          Perhaps God is giving California the finger?

                            All the major highways (freeways in SoCal speech) are closed except for I-5. This seems so surreal. We are surrounded by fire, and theres only one way to get out (besides Lonestar's ship)

                              And I'm betting that I5 is practically useless because of a traffic jam, right?
