Reference:- After laughing at those who consider that the fire seasons in California are getting worse , Chris Kenny has avoided the subject .
A young chap like you , Chris , is often tempted to draw conclusions too quickly . In this instance you certainly did start your run too early with regard to the fires in California . Obviously it was fun to humiliate those who consider the fires to be " unprecedented , but your trademark sneering criticism was a tad premature . The current " August Complex " fire is now the largest since records began , in 1932 . And by quite a margin . That fact makes it very difficult for you to report on the fires again without looking like a total dolt . And the fires are such a crowd pleaser , what with the thousands of razed buildings and the millions of acres reduced to ash , and the smoke blanketing the hemisphere .
Anyway Chris , there is a lesson in this to be sure . Never count your eggs before they have hatched . Although Monte told me that regardless of the fact that they don't always hatch , it is easier to count eggs than it is to count young chickens chaotically running about the coop. That may be the case , but to me it only reveals a willingness to tolerate inaccuracy out of sheer laziness .
One last thing , Chris . Did you see the last Sky Reply ? I reckon you may have used our new " Do It Yourself Sky News Kit " to inspire your latest attack on the ABC for wasting taxpayers money .
It warms our hearts to think that we have made a contribution to your sophisticated style .
Your comrade , Ken .
