Getting back to the original thread subject, nearly 150 of the 950 or so
evacuees here have applied to set up residence in Utah. They seem to like the mountains and people according to the interviews I saw. Some thought the mountains were fake. I saw a lot of evacuees being taken around the canyon today by their hosts. The best way I can describe their reaction to the mountains is that they had the demeanor of someone in the Taj Mahal or some temple. Really struck me. http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_3007142 -klaus |

Really struck me. Gapers, in the first degree. Not that there's anything wrong with that, right? Correct. I think each and everyone of us has experienced such awe at one point or another in our life. If not, we are probably missing something. 1. First time in Yosemite: drove in early one morning while it was still dark, pulled over and took a little nap at a parking spot in the Valley. When I woke up, the sun was rising and El Capitan was all pink. Where did THAT come from? 2. Last time in Yosemite: just after last Christmas, drove in during a rain/snow storm, with broken low clouds overhead. The waterfalls seemed to be falling right out of the clouds. 3. The first time I drove through LA the day after a rainstorm, aftter living in smoggy SoCal almost a year. Where did those snowy mountains come from? |

If I had a choice of FEMA or LDS, I'd hop on that LDS bus. Sometimes dyslexia provides unwarranted hope. I read that to be an offer of of "permutation of the characters LDS" on that bus. I'd hope on the bus, too. Ken and Augustus, we need you, come on back. And bring the bus, please... |
