I just had it in my mind that it was okay to sleep up there after you told Berb that you had a guest bed for him. That must have stuck in my mind and not what you told me.
Yea, I told him that to get him down here, I would have had to make it had any of you actually wanted to sleep there. You should have slept on the other couch upstairs, that's the only realistic place to sleep other than the one down here.

What the fuck is up in Florida? I just saw a "Red Flag Warning" and the whole fuckin' state was red, what the fuck is a "Red Flag Warning"?
It's the risk of gayness. Florida is a pretty damn gay state afterall -- not that there's anything wrong with that (says the San Francisco resident).

Where are you at Greg? Read there was a blast in Jaipur, Rajasthan a few hours ago.
Yeah -- read a few posts up:

Holy crap. Reports all over the news about five serial blasts in nearby Jaipur by suspected terrorists. They're thinking 50 people may have been killed...
I'm in Gurgaon, Haryana -- about 120 miles away.

Local media is all over it. They're calling this the biggest terrorist attack here since the Mumbai train bombings in 2006. A coordinated set of 8 bombs (1 was diffused) that went off within 15 minutes of each other. They suspect Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) is behind it, but the facts are that nobody really had an inkling this was coming. All plastic bag-covered bombs with cell-phone detonators.

Rajasthan apparently never had something even close to this happen before, and suspicions are that this latest incident could seriously change India's anti-terrorism strategy.

Enron, how exactly do authorities find a suspect in a forest arson? I just saw an interview of a sheriff down in Florida, and he said he's confident that they will catch the people who started the fire.

How can they discover this when all the evidence is charred up? If I'm going to start a fire, I'm going to clean up my match or not use on at all. How do they do this exactly?

Tire tracks, igniters (gas or lighter fluid), a dropped lighter, or just raising patrol strength in an area. Arsonists aren't usually one and done guys, we had some asshole set 8 fires before he was arrested last year.

To answer your question about the match. I don't think a match would do it. I haven't really be following the case closely but here is my best guess to how it started. Since this fire is in Florida and Florida usually has between 80 and 98 percent RH, the arsonist would need more that a cigarette or book of matches. In more arid places like Montana you can just lean out your car window with a cigarette lighter and set fire. In this case, he'd need an accelerate like gas or something, which can be easy to trace. So long as nature doesn't mess things up.

Accelerates burn quickly and leave fumes, but you have to get there pretty quickly. Also if the guy used wood or debris to start the fire that will probably still be around as well, fires get started with fine fuels which burn quickly but not completely. There are many ways in which they can catch the guy, but unfortunately none are easy. The best bet is to raise patrols in the area and just wait. Unless of course they've found a lead I'm unaware of. Like an eye witness or something.
