I like thistle because I like pink flowers. I don't like thistles because they are prickly.

Frederick's forest fire story
Editor's note: Frederick's biggest fear is of forest fires. Taking the "face your fear" strategy, he helped burn brush this week. The fire got a bit large. The editor would like to add that although Frederick's version portrays his father as saving the day, the issue is in dispute. His mother had that fire managed.
We should also note that we have no photos of the fire since we were all occupied at the time with saving the Sequoia National Forest. The photo above is what a reasonable burn pile fire looks like.
Listen to Frederick's version on audio:
