Ever seen wildfires?? I have...

I drove to LA with Kristen (roomie) and Matt (her bf) to spend the day and check out the big city and all it has to offer. (Like pharmacies) We started our trip a little later than we had hoped, which can be attributed to 2 girls living together who will be "ready in 10 minutes" for about an hour. The drive there takes about 2 hours, and our first stop was to visit a friend of Matt's who sadly, has a medical condition which requires the herbal remedies to make her life livable. So we, being the good samaritans that we are, took her to the pharmacy to pick up her "medicine." Literally, we went to a pharmacy and she purchased ganja with her medical card!! California knows how to party!!! Then we went to Universal City and checked out some shops, had some dinner and walked around. On our way out of the parking garage, Matt noticed the Camp Pendleton fires!! We got out of the car and were watching the wildfires burn. It was crazy, I have never seen anything like it. It was night, so we could see pretty well. The fires were really bright and we could tell by the distance that they were devastating if they were so big and bright from as far away as we were. Hopefully everyone is okay. I have met quite a few people who lost their homes last year to the fires, it is really a threat around here! Don't worry, I live by the beach!

Mother Nature is a crazy thing! But, I hear she can also create good medicine.
