WgT2's Journal: Fire

I went on a road trip my sophore year at LSU. A couple of friends from high school and I took off for Austin to pick up another friend to then continue on to outside Fredricksburg, TX. There's a pair of rock outcropping there called Enchanted Rock.

In at least one of the rocks is a series of caves, but that's for another day. What I want to get in writing here is that on the floor of my friend's '71-ish VW van there was a paper box of matches. Mysteriously it caught on fire, burned itself, and then went out on the carpeting in the in plain site, if we had been looking at it. All of this without notice until we discovered the matchbox's bunrned-out carcass after the fact.

I suppose the carpet was just so old that even fire didn't want it.
