While the cat's away

There is a big fire in teh mountains just at the east end of 1300 South. They have been evacuating some houses at around 3040 rast (that's where Jon Hintsman lives) and cannot send up the planes because it is night. They will be fighting the fire all night from the ground and I hope the wind does not change. Right now it is blowing north and tonight started moving west into the houses. Hopefully the wind keeps it away from our neighborhood. Actually, now that I think about it, we should be OK because Parleys canyon should protect us. Although the fire jumps a few hundred feet at a time in all the dry brush. I think it is the hot embers that can cause the biggest jumps. So hold thumbs that Parleys will be a big enough fire break. The smell of burnt grass is terrible.

I spent the night washing dishes, laundry, doing ironing, and eating. So much to clean and so little time!
