Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

OK, people in fire-nearby areas make sure your smoke detectors are working. Well, everyone should. And I imagine those with nearby fires might be annoyed with the trigger-happy ones, but still. And pack a bag, just in case. Uhg.

The closest I've come to wildfires being a threat was when I lived in Flagstaff and there were fires surrounding the city. I lived on campus, which was a ways from the brush. I worked up in the mountains and used to watch the fires from there. Everything stunk.

My fucking dialup won't stay up and then I get busy signals. I really should upgrade. But I won't. Too cheap, too lazy.

Fuck. Where's the fire??

It seems to have mostly burned Griffith Park so far, but it's close enough to homes for people to sweat.

Cereal to add:

Griffith Park on this side of this hill, near the carousel, and where the Festival of Lights drive is every year. I can see the fire line from our window.

I wonder if I get charged for busy-signal calls. Or rather, if they count against my monthly allotment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Har. I was mistaken for a guy on a regular basis before I bleached my hair. And now I've bulked up. Thank goodness for Shock and Awe, or it'd probably happen more.

I have one comment to make about the Heroes promo for the next two weeks: that's not the same gun. Which, really, says more about me and the sort of pedant I'm expanding to become than it does about the show in any way. I know that person. I didn't want to be that person as well. The very least I can hope for is that what I noticed was purposeful.

sarameg, I do worry about my place going up in flames, but for any scenario in which the "wild"fires would get you, you're told to evacuate before your sensor would go off. Or perhaps after, depending on the dissipation. Just that it's not anything I'd rely on in those cases.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh holy crap! What started this one?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh hey, Scola -- my TV situation seems to have been a fluke, so I guess I'm yet another person not taking your old TV away.... Did you put it on Craigslist or Freecycle?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I read they have an arson suspect in custody.

yeah, I know. Hell, I saw that in Flag. No one was injured while a subdivision got ate. But I'm paranoid in a way that logic and reason plays no part. An arsonist burnt down the across-the-street neighbor's home, and it was the next-to-us neighbor's insomnia that literally saved them. So FIRE NEAR? It's totally kneejerk and freakout.

I mean, the only time my smoke detector has fired was due to steam. Scarily, it did not go off when I filled the apartment with smoke due to a baking spill in the oven. Again, nsm with the logic.
