Hi all. I couldn’t make it to SLC for tonight’s SLAS meeting, but I did use the time well – posted a couple of scanned images of some older photos I have in my collection. I’m particularly proud of this one: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3836. For what it’s worth: I’m glad to hear so far that none of our friends have lost property in the machine gun fire. I pray for safety for all and that there will be no more homes lost to the fire. Our skies have been obscured by smoke from the Twitchell Canyon fire. These fires should be a reminder to all that we live in a desert and should be a little careful. Something the folks at Camp Williams seem to have forgotten this time. Kim
Kim, That is a terrific photo! Love the capture of the fireball there. I also couldn't make it to tonight's meeting though I wanted to. I needed to clean up some cars (campfire smell inside); the garage for the same issue, and check the A/C and furnace for the filter which I changed. Also, fatigue caught me after doing that. I took a 3 hour nap this evening to try to catch up on sleep from only getting a couple of hours on Sunday night and I'm heading off to bed in a bout 10 minutes.

Thanks for the compliment (and also from Tyler and Joe). Copies are available for sale. ;-) Jay, we're all glad that the worst you've had to deal with is fatigue and cleanup. No fun, to be sure, but it could have been worse, as you know. A few years ago a good friend of mine from Carlsbad CA lost everything to one of the southern CA fires whipped-up by Santa Anna winds. He and his family had so little warning that they literally got away with just the clothes on their backs - and the car they were driving. The fire was so hot that everything was consumed. No personal belongings whatsoever were spared. When I saw his "home" and the neighborhood a few days later only the chimneys were still standing. While it may not feel like it to many, Herriman residents have really dodged a bullet this time (no pun intended there). I hope the fire will finally be contained soon and that everyone can return home safely. Good luck, Jay. Kim
Neat, neat pic! And you're certainly right about being more careful. Best wishes, Joe --- On Tue, 9/21/10, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:
