Does this make you happy that the fire bug was caught?

Officials blamed a wildfire that consumed more than 38,000 acres and destroyed 21 homes last week on a boy playing with matches, and said they would ask a prosecutor to consider the case.

The boy admitted to sparking the fire on Oct. 21, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Diane Hecht said Tuesday. Ferocious winds helped it quickly spread.

“He admitted to playing with matches and accidentally starting the fire,” Hecht said in a statement.

No, but it sometimes makes me chuckle to see how badly you can butcher the English language.

What happens ... do you get so fraught with excitement that your hands start shaking, your eyes water, and you lose the ability to construct coherent sentences?

BTW - I read this particular story on 3 MSM sites more than 12 hours ago.

Many of us do not think of QRZ as a news source.

Is being a UT that boring?

I think faster than I can type and I don't always catch my screwups.
