It turns out there was a time in October 2001 when President Bush was visiting China where for 24 hours, there was evidence that a botulinum toxin attack had struck the White House, and that everyone who had been there at the time – including Bush – were dead men.

It turned out to be a false alarm, but it’s interesting that nobody in the press seemed to report on how Bush was in a constant blubbering state of panic.

While taking photos up near Mantua a week ago, a Grumman HU-16 Albatross flew over. The photos I took of it are admittedly horrible, as it was at a great distance, but you just don’t see these planes all that often. Given that the Albatross is a seaplane and this is Utah, it seemed even rarer.

I can’t be certain, due to the low resolution, but it sure looks like the Albatross shown at the top of the Wikipedia page.

This has been the “reddest” Utah autumn in my recollection. It didn’t last long, of course… maybe a week or two, now it’s pretty much just brown.
