Fire in Griffith Park

I blame Vince Vaughn's character in Made. Actually, the rumor is that it started on the same par-3 golf course that is featured in Swingers.

It's been ridiculously hot and dry here since Sunday, making the firefighters' job even worse. The smoke cloud was enormous this afternoon.

If the Observatory has to shut down, after just opening back up from a five-year hiatus... all right, I might not be that pissed, because I went opening weekend to see it, but still, the irony would be cruel.
