Yeah, I'm pretty sure this one was a morning commuter who threw a cigarette butt out the window. People just don't understand that you can't do that around here, at least not between the months of May to November.

I was a smoker a long time, all though my young and stupid period, well into my old and stupid period. Along with later discovered misplaced lit cigarettes which thankfully didn't end in catastrophe, at least hundreds of times I've intentionally tried to set things ablaze with a cigarette. Believe me, it ain't easy. Even things I'd been told were extremely flammable, like hay, straw, wood shavings, etc, is much more difficult than you would think to light.

Not saying it doesn't happen, it does. Fire experts say a lot of deadly house fires were caused by cigarettes... or rather the careless handling of the same. But I think a lot of outdoor fires, with uncertain origins, are randomly blamed on smokers.

Know what I mean, Vern.
