boise's "fire season" is off to a spectacular start ... the widely beloved table rock
was ( presumably ) accidentally a-lit by folks ( illegally ) setting off fireworks
the blaze has elicited countless complaints about air quality, emotional
postings to facebook and twitter feeds, and most of all : dramatic photos

... talk about theatrical ...
but don't get me wrong : i love table rock too, i'm just not heartbroken ...
every once in a while, things have to burn, and that's okay, and in a lot of
cases it's actually better in the long run that things DO burn ... it sure is a
shame that people lost homes in this fire ( that damn eyesore of a crucifix
should have burned up instead ), but as far as i know nobody was physically
injured, and now everybody's a little more aware of fireworks safety as we
approach the 4th ( that's my hope, anyway )
