Other bad fires

Sometimes I write a post, but I don’t publish it. I guess I’m not a run-to-win blogger.

I’ve had a lot of new visitors lately, looking for news about fires in general, or maybe confusing Griffith Park with San Diego. (And in spite of the fact that I seem to have disappeared from Technorati. Thanks, guys. I don’t understand what a ping is, either.) I feel so bad about so many people losing their homes, and so many many acres of land burned.

One thing I can’t stand is how the news makes such a production, such a drama and such a spectacle of destruction. I turned my head away from all the photos and video footage. Don’t you think this dramatic coverage just might encourage the lowest of the low, arsonists, that fire is a very effective attention-getter? Grrr.
