(click to enlarge)		SoCal on fire - my weekend visit to LA during the fires
		1 During a nice afternoon, a group of friends from college went out for lunch and some fun before we were all tuckered out and needed naps.
		2 There's Thi, one of my most amazing friends... she's a force to be reckoned with and brings so many people together. It's quite wonderful.
		3 I finally got to meet Dwight, Luana's long-time boyfriend and now husband. He's a police officer.
		4 I knew Luana back in college. She was roommates with Thi. She had this boyfriend that seemed to only exist in pictures. Maybe I didn't believe her... That's her son from that imaginary boyfriend/husband (Dwight).
		5 There's Rene, I know her from college as well. We drove down from Sacramento for this short weekend trip.
		6 There's baby Zachary, enjoying lunch as much as we did.
		7 I think Zachary already has a career path in mind. He's gonna own a farm.
		8 There'll be goats, cows and of course wheel barrows.
		9 Or perhaps he'll be a model.
		10 He was making it look so fun, I decided to give the farmer thing a try.
		11 The big reason why Rene and I drove down to LA was to attend a big halloween party in Long Beach. This place was wild. It was like the Haunted Mansion inside.
		12 Thi said they start in August. They move out a lot of their stuff and bring their "decorations" in from storage. You'd think they work for a movie company or Disney, but I think they are accountants.
		13 See all the severed heads in the kitchen cabinets? The place was so amazingly done. A gorefest.
		14 Not the best of photos, but you can see what I thought was one of the best costumes... a woman dressed up as Bob's Big Boy... complete with tray full of burgers.
