A brief video I shot way back when in my Thatcher, Utah, days.

Once again craptacular cell phone photos showing (inadequately) the otherwise remarkable sunset colors.
And why not, here’s Buttons. He’s a top-tier adorable critter. Fight me.

Some evening cameraphone photos.
“Belt of Venus” over the mountains to the south-east, moon above.
Might be a little hard to see, but with the naked eye these lines of clouds were fairly remarkable.
Again the camera doesn’t do it justice, but the contrast between the blue and the pink was kinda startling.

A bit of weather blew through tonight, complete with light show.

In this time of political turmoil, what we need is something to bring everyone together. Something to rally around. Something everyone can agree on. And I believe we’ve found that very thing:
Tenant arrested in Layton apartment complex fire
Just saw a bit n this story on the local news. In short… this guy was storing several gallons of gasoline in his apartment “for a friend,” because the friend was afraid of it getting stolen. Somehow or other he managed to spill some of the gasoline onto the floor. Other tenants started to complain about the smell of gasoline, so in order to get rid of that smell… he lit some incense. Viola: no more smell of gasoline. No more gasoline. No more apartment.
What we can all most assuredly agree on: this man should never reproduce. There is a sufficiency of stupid in the world; we hardly need more. Oliver Wendell Holmes thought it was three, but at least in this case I’d argue that one generation of imbeciles is enough.

A few days ago, a wakeup call came in not long after sunrise at low altitude, high speed and many horsepower. Yup, it was time to wake up. Photos below…

This, my friends, is Utah capitalism at its finest:
Brigham City boy raises eyebrows with streetside beer sales
There are, of course, people getting all twitchy about this. The Brigham City Police have checked him out and given him and his business model the all-clear.
This young man, in the area of 600 South 200 East, has a twist on a lemonade stand. Yep, he’s selling beer … ROOT…

And here are a number of photos of the many aircraft that paid my little neck of the woods a visit in order to fight the massive wildfire.

As previously illustrated, late Sunday night an electrically interesting cloud floated by leaving a few wildfires in its wake. I stayed up excessively late photographing it and processing photos; by 4:30 AM or so I’d had about enough and went to bed. Before that I checked the progress of the fires and it seemed like the firefighters seemed like they might have had a handle on it. It looked like nothing of much more interest was going to happen.
I wonder how that prediction panned out…

At sunset yesterday (seems like today… but then, it’s 4:52 AM and I’m still nowhere near ready for sleep) a storm blew through, leaving behind a fairly impressive rainbow and some interesting clouds. Consequently… lo and behold, panoramic photos.
