Utah Wildfires Tonight
I remember the fire last year as (e:james) and I came out of the paria slots up into Escalante - pillar of smoke covering half the horizon for three days after. A bizarre cap to our hike, which was two days in and aborted due to lack of water. I was pushing so hard to get put of the canyons I ended up with sunstroke, and had to wait in meager shade at the trailhead watching the fire take up more and more of the sky, while James hitched back to our car.
I'm also thinking about as a kid i'd watch fires on mountainside near our home, seemingly hovering midair at midnight, char and smoke of sap and sweet smelling wood. Fearsome, a guilty pleasure to watch - enjoying it but knowing people's lives were being destroyed.

Gelato at Dolce's
We walked down the block to Dolce's with the dog. Our new place is so close to everything, there is so much more to walk to and see then at our old place near Hodge.

Astroturfing
Paul was talking about how Sprite faked up rap concerts and paid cool kids to go and look cool and the broadcast it all on MTV as though everyone else was paying to be there, when really Sprite was footing the bill. So now Sprite is the face of of rap or something ridiculous.
Read through some of those examples on the linked wikipedia page - how cynical do you have to be to try something like this?

The First of Many
I am not sure how that can be. One night we'll be woken to the sound of it crashing in to our bedroom.

I'm typing this post from it and haven't had to hit backspace once yet. For me it's a big step up, but Paul I'm sure you'd be frustrated by the non-802.11 wireless speeds. Not too bad though definitely usable.
There is no way to upload files through regular web pages which is pretty annoying. Have to email them or sync to get photos off.
All in all I love it. Those are my only complaints as far as basic functionality go.

Biggest fire in Utah history, 450 square miles. Damn.
There is now a large burnt out section between where the fire is now, and where my Dad is. So they are out of danger.
"A 160,000-acre wildfire in Utah jumped a freeway, forcing the closure of Interstate 15 for a 100-mile, or 160-kilometer, stretch through central Utah, fire officials said. The fire, about 120 miles south of Salt Lake City, also forced the evacuations of the historic Cove Fort site and the Blundell geothermal power plant, where it was threatening railroad lines, bridges and several homes, said LaCee Bartholomew, a fire information officer for Color County."
