Frank Pulley has up a piece over at Bloody Scott lamenting the disappearance from the intarwebs of the archives of Scott Burgess’s Daily Ablution, which was an excellent site for a very long time.  Where Scott’s disappeared to, we’re not absolutely sure.  Perhaps he and Mrs. Ablution finally packed up and moved to Slovakia, wisely deciding that it would be foolish to leave a forwarding address.  At any rate, as

More fires in Malibu force celebrities to “Flea” (har, har, har, no but really man bummer): Local media reports said actors Matthew McConaughey and Minnie Driver were among those forced to evacuate while Red Hot Chili Peppers bass guitarist Flea’s home was destroyed by the flames.
