Honorable Mention: Blessed are the wind-blown embers.
Statement of the Grand Inquisitor: Let us start with a fitting quote from yesterday’s LA Times article:
A wind-blown ember can be opportunistic, slipping through tiny breaches in the homes.
Opportunistic indeed! These little sparks of red hot justice were busy at work last weekend, crawling into vents, falling between cracks and carrying the mission from house to house, palm tree to palm tree. In a matter of days, 1,000 homes burned down in half a dozen different fires spread around Southern California. All weekend long, ash fell out of the sky and a cloud of smoke blocked out the sun, casting the whole of Southern California in the crimson red hues of Armageddon.
