Positive Blogs

Traffic was, as usual, terrible, on my 4 hour commute to and from L.A. today to work in Dr. Rhee's office. It has been raining, and Californians do not know that the coefficient of friction is LESS when taking bends at 90mph. Many accidents....so I cruise through Camp Pendleton as I still have two weeks left here. Getting sentimental.
Camp Pendleton is this wonderful mass of land, almost untouched, well...the least touched of any property out here by the beach. There are wild buffalo, foxes, mountain lions, deer, airborne things and slithery things. And it had just rained. I opened my window and inhaled the wet greenery and "hay"(most of the grass is brown in the winter time) and it brought me back to walks in the woods. It is amazing what a fresh note water can bring to the landscape. I breathed in as deeply as I could. So peaceful. A perfect drive.
