Why I love L.A...

...because you never know WHAT you're going to see when you look out the window.

The pics above were taken from the roof of my apartment building this afternoon. I'd been sitting in my favorite chair with my back to the window reading a book when GG called, asking: "Are you OK?"

MG: "Yeah, why?"

GG: "There's a big fire."

MG: "Wher--oh SH*T!"

The brushfire that started this afternoon in Universal City is totally out now and the sky is clear as a bell. Thanks to all the firefighters who stomped this puppy out and saved all those valuable homes I love to covet on my daily hikes thru Runyon Canyon.
