Los Angeles fires

from LATimes.com
If you haven't heard, Los Angeles is literally burning. (And while this isn't about Minnesota, this is my blog and I have creative license to deviate from Minnesota on accasion.) The LA Times has some amazing photos from the front lines of the huge fire burning to the north of downtown Los Angeles in the hills above the city.
