Friends,
I suspect somebody at the L.A. Times is working for the Big Bear Tourism Board. Why? Because they’ve just come out with yet another story about how my little town of Idyllwild is set to burn to the ground.

A little like the story they did in 2007 about how we couldn’t plan for evacuation routes without some contention. Or perhaps the big David Kelly piece in 2006 about how it was a miracle that we’re even alive.
I’m just thankful that we don’t have a slow economy to deal with, otherwise we’d have a hard time dealing with the negative publicity…
