According to the Post, the Ontario Fire Marshall has declared that the cause of the massive February Queen West fire will remain a mystery. "[Fire investigations manager Chris] Williams" told the paper that "a team of 10 investigators, including forensic specialists and engineers, pored over piles of charred physical evidence, but there was simply too much damage, leaving them with no choice but to label the cause 'undetermined.'" It's bad news for the former property owners, but great news for those who enjoy wildly speculating about the fire's cause. (Did you know that if you re-arrange the letters in "Queen Street West Fire" you get "Queen St Fire=Teers"? Or that "Home Depot" backwards is almost "Top Demon"? Someone should really investigate that.)

I lived across the street last year (I think that my apartment was the only one in the area that wasn't evacuated), and was somewhat familiar with some of the stray cats in the area. I even nicknamed one Al (short for Al E. Cat of course).
I walked by there yesterday and saw three cats living amongst the rubble, and one looked just like Al. It seems like he is the patriarch of his own family now. Here's wishing all the best to Al and co. in the new year. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Al!
