Because why not, here are some panoramas I’ve stitched together from some photos I’ve taken recently showing the skies around here…
More after the break.

Some recent camera-phone photos…

Sadly the camera never quite captures the reality.

Spotted this on I-15 a few days ago.

So yesterday I was on the road at about 9 AM when I noticed that the power lines were smoking or steaming or something. I didn’t have a good camera with me, just my phone, and it did a miserable job of taking pictures of the phenomenon, but you can kinda see it. It wasn’t a brief event, but lasted for at least several minutes, and was occurring along several miles of lines. I assume it is the result of some interplay of sunlight, humidity and the power going through the lines, causing water vapor in the air to condense around the lines… or something.

If you’ve been waiting your whole life for a music video that’s about the psychopathic computer in the game “Portal” and which features super slo-mo shots of kids taking delicious chocolate cakes to the face… huzzah! Your wait is over! “Cake Slingshot” has you covered.
This was shot in downtown Provo, Utah. I bet cleanup was a hoot.
BONUS ROUND for the SJWs: Get ready to be triggered by the lack of diversity!

Flipping through the channels, I stumbled across this listing. Oddly, it didn’t seem appealing.
And because why not, here’s a crappy photo of the moon rising over the mountains earlier. Been here more than a dozen years and the rise of a full moon over the mountains remains a hell of a sight.

I drove past this truck yesterday, north of Brigham City. To me it sure looks like an old Minuteman ICBM transporter truck; if so, it almost certainly wasn’t actually transporting an ICBM, or I’ve expected more of an escort.
Screenshots from my craptacular $35 dashcam.
A bit of googling finds that that’s almost certainly what it was…
Minuteman III ICBM Transporter Erector: My former office on 32 wheels
What you don’t want to do with one of these things:
Missile accident blamed on poor training
Whoops.
Now, a thought occurs to me. I suspect that these transporters just aren’t used as much as they once were. I suspect most of them have been recycled. But if – *if*, mind you – you had excess money *and* you were able to get one of these surplus… imagine what an *awesome* RV you could make out of it. Heck, design it to keep the “erector” function, with necessary amenities either properly locked down or able to rotate so that it’s functional either horizontal or vertical. And way up front, that’s where you’d put your combination bedroom/observatory, complete with telescope.

A few days ago I stopped by the Cutler Marina and saw a creature in the water. Clearly this was some sort of crypto-beast… maybe a pliosaur, maybe an aquatic sasquatch, probably alien. One of the photos shows an spherical flying object… most likely an alien mothership. Alert the media!
Now I’m off to write a 400-page screed to Alex Jones and begin campaigning for Bernie Sanders.
