In this part of the country, wildfires are a way of life.
We may go a few months without a big fire in the woods, but then we might have three or four massive fires raging all at once.
Just like the people down south live with hurricanes, the people around here live with the wildfires. Humans can adapt to any kind of adverse situation, can’t they? Last week we had a wildfire that came a little too close to home. A lot of us had to evacuate, and when we returned we saw the town badly damaged. More to the point, the medical cannabis dispensary for the area was burned to the ground. If a medical cannabis shop burns down, at least someone should have been around to smell the lovely aftereffects! I feel bad for Ed, he is the guy who owns the medical cannabis shop, but I also feel bad for myself and all of my friends. Ed’s shop was the only place around here to legally buy medical cannabis, and I have no other options. Before I went to my own home I drove to the medical cannabis shop to see what remained of it. Ed was already there, dragging a few fire-damaged crates from the stockroom of the medical cannabis shop. Heat had ruined most of his stock, but since this newest shipment of medical cannabis hadn’t been unpacked, the crates protected it from the heat! Ed lost his store, but at least he has enough medical cannabis to sell where he can get back on his feet.
