It’s not too late to blame the dragons.

A few short hours ago it looked like my gut reaction that the Angeles National Forest fire had been caused by a fiendish rapscallion (I’m no longer using the word “terrorist”) wasn’t far off the mark.

But wait, what’s this? A new report on KNX 1070 says that the U.S. Forest Service has retracted its earlier “human caused” statement about the fire.

What does this mean? It means my two-year-old daughter’s assertion that dragons are behind the blaze may still be a valid theory.

You can run, Puff, but you can’t hide.

    I 100% support the substitution of the term “fiendish rapscallion” for “terrorist” in any and all possible contexts.

    My theory is that someone got the location for Burning Man wrong.

    I think the dragons were smoking some choice Angeles National Forest weed and accidentally started the blaze.
