Breathe Easy

Or, if you prefer, breathe easily because it was a mellow day here in La La Land. This morning, in the hub of the city, in downtown LLL, a fire broke out and a building burned. Smoke filled the morning sky and commuters listening to airborne traffic reports rolled down their windows to fill their lungs with smoke. First responders rushed to the scene and then, I can only imagine, chilled. The hustle and bustle or whatever it is of early morning downtown slowed considerably. People smiled at nothing in particular.
All good things do eventually end. Eventually fire fighters had to put out the fire. Eventually.
Nothing was left of the building that had such a short time earlier housed medical marijuana offices and, of course, the supplies used by said offices.
Had the currently considered tax on the sale of medical marijuana already been in place, what a sad loss of possible revenue for the state this little fire would have been. As it is, though, this morning was just a little calmer than most hot Monday mornings.
Peace.
