Boy oh boy. "Fort McMurray" is the second-most popular Google news topic. I bet that's a first for "Fort McMurray!" They are really having a bear of a time up there. "Burns Uncontrollably," is NBC's lede; "May reach Saskatchewan," is in CNN's; "Wildfire Explodes in Size," is Huff Post's.

I read NBC's article. Damn thing "could burn for months without rain." How many days in a month? And then times that by two or three or whatever. That's a lot of burning. Christ, you got dead-dry wood growing in oil. Fuck. Canada, seriously, can we help?
