    Southern California is on fire. The news reports over 2,000 homes have gone up in smoke. The ash outside our OC flat is so thick you would think that a volcano blew up nearby. And last night the full moon was so orange it looked like a pumpkin. So why is this happening? Comments?

    OK, I'll venture a guess. I've actually died, my playful sins have caught up with me, and this is hell?

    Naaaaa, California voted against Bush in the last two presidential elections, so maybe this is the "Revenge of the Lizard People?"

    Then again, Hollywood is so much into reality TV, maybe they got carried away with their special effects?

    Lost in translation? Smoking a "fag" here would mean something very different, and he wouldn't generate any ash...*





    *Unless you put him on a burning pyre and smoked him that way!

    Why? It's the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and is being razed to the ground in accordance with the wishes of our lord.

    Either that or it was some idiot playing with matches...

    On the freeways they are! Haven't you heard of our 50 car smash-ups? Matrix II was not that far off when they said the California freeways are suicide. Ha!

    Oh! You could dress up like a National Guardsman and help the burned out victims "move" their possessions? Naaaaa, that wouldn't work! They are so short of troops in Iraq that the moment they saw you, you'd be shipped out for a tour of duty!

    Methinks they are not real Guardsmen, but maybe Hollywood extras that Arnie drug out of the donut shops to make a showing for the press.
