Hasta La Ideas

We feel awful that, while this writer was out yesterday, he wasn’t able to scream “Get out! Get out! Fire!” at you. This, of course, would have only applied to you had you been in the Getty Center, which was completely evacuated Wednesday and Thursday because it was in danger of getting devoured by California’s ever-present hillside fires (which was illustrated on their site with that image attached to this post). Fortunately we won’t be riddled with a lifetime of guilt because nothing wound up being damaged, the fire was contained, and the museum will re-open today. Though if you want to see some fire footage licking the Getty’s heels, for you sickos in the audience, we recommend checking out the BBC‘s coverage.
