Hi everyone! Links posted in awhile. I’m having trouble coming to grips with the morning light....
I hope someone posts a thread today with all the DUmmie excuses for an anti-pollution concert creating so much trash.
Evening. The wildfires here in Utah are scary, especially the one by Fillmore. It is the largest fire in Utah history. It leapt over I-15, the major freeway through Utah. The fire has already burned over 300,000 acres, about half the size of Salt Lake valley.
I went to Bryce Canyon last week with my friends and some of my family. Right outside Bryce Canyon is a hotel called Ruby’s Inn. And rodeo stands. At 10 pm, the fireworks show started. They fired the fireworks off at the edge of a field. The show was spectacular, considering what a small population this area has. And then my nephew’s wife pointed to the right, and said “Look at the fire”. Some embers from the fireworks had fallen into the field right in front of us and started a fire. It spread pretty quickly, but after 5 minutes the fire department showed up and extinguished the fire. (We couldn’t decide whether to watch the firemen at work or the fireworks.)
Then towards the end a firework went off prematurely, very close to the ground. And started another fire. By this time the first fire was out, so the fire engine drove around the block and put out the other fire. It is very dry all over Utah.
We had a great time at Bryce Canyon, except it was about 10 degrees above normal (average 90 instead of 80.) I didn’t do as much hiking as I wanted to because of the heat, and because I had a big ole blister on my left foot. We’re going to go back in the fall or next spring and hike the rim (10 to 11 mile hike.) We went on some very short hikes and the views were spectacular.
And I think I am allergic to the sunblock and the sun. I have a rash wherever I put on sunscreen and the sun got me. I have a dr’s appointment on Wednesday, hopefully I won’t itch to death before then. :)
And my bad luck continues. I broke a top left molar a week ago Saturday. I spent 3 hours in the dentist’s chair last Monday, getting a root canal and a crown. Then this morning I went back, thinking he was going to put on the permanent crown. Nope. I spent another 2 hours in the chair while he built up the molar and put a temporary crown on. I go back in 2 weeks for the permanent crown. Then I get to have my teeth cleaned and a full checkup. Hopefully nothing else is wrong with my teeth.
Like I told my mom, if I didn’t have bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all. LOL.
