i called joel outside tonight to look at the air
it was overcast - i noticed it earlier rolling in as i was doing laundry
it had started to become darker like rain, but once joel had come home
it had become an orange hue very like the eyes of hurricanes but much lighter
a dust haze was my first guess - lotta shit in the air normally during the summer months and it was thick -
dumbass didn't think of smoke -
joel and i watched the major network channel that shows jeopardy - then later heard on the radio in the car that there were 12,000 acres on fire 50 miles N of Vegas-
dumbass broadcaster said she couldn't find out more about it by watching TV to tell us anything, ahem.
smoke - hazy, of course.
joel and i saw another enormous wildfire near cedar breaks nat. park on the way home from UT - then we set off some perfectly harmless fireworks in Moapa (they were snakes, perfectly, harmless- and really fucking cool)
my whole trip back home was fantastic- and joel was right to be pissed at me when i wasn't enjoying myself - it is beautiful country - and tastes mighty fucking delicious - i've got some funky tan lines to prove it!
hope everyone had a good rockin' fourth -
mine was nuts -
great to visit - great to be home again

How my Dad doesn't have cancer is beyond me. His arms & neck are like snake skin. Biult up an immunity to the sun or something.
Glad it was a good time.
