We've had the flash floods and fires
around here. This little hailstorm kinda confused the hell outta the earthworms, cuz the white stuff on the grass and the top of the Monte Carlo is hail and the white stuff on the driveway is salt. A coupla weeks ago we had HEAVY rain and numerous locations had flash flooding. My basement got a tiny bit wet. I went by a burger joint about 5 blocks from my house yesterday (I'm off the diet, but holding steady on weight, so I didn't feel guilty about gettin a quick burger) and there was a sign on the door stating that they were closed due to repairs needed due to the flooding. This very rarely happens in northern Utah. And...a very large fault line runs north/south along the base of the mountains that form the eastern edge of the valley and while we haven't had any earthquakes recently, I wouldn't be surprised if one took place in the near future, just cuz the earth has moved in other parts of the continent. Then while I was on the salt last week, we had smoke/haze from a range/brush fire to the south and west of the salt flats. It colored the sunrise and looked almost like fog along the mountains to the north: So here are the biblical plagues: 1. Blood. Haven't seen this one yet, but ya never know...unless ya think of the reddish color of the sky and water above. 2. Frogs. Seems like this happened in the Northwest. 3. Gnats. In Washington. Otherwise known as lobbyists. 4. Flies. See above. 5. Livestock diseased. Hmmm...Does mad cow disease count? I know one particular female journalist on the salt flats who would qualify. Jim will back me up on this one. 6. Boils. They're in congress. 7. Thunder and hail. See first photo. 8. Locusts. They're on Wall St. 9. Darkness. In the White House. 10. Death of the firstborn. I can't think of anything funny about this one. Too serious a topic. Anyway, Ya might be right, Mike. Maybe it IS time to repent. :) Ohhh...I met yer buddy that runs the Chock Full O' Nuts pickup at Bonneville. I'd talked with the crew before, but it was the first time I'd had a chance to visit with him. He sez "hi." :) Having said all that, I'll crawl back in my hole and hide. r On 8/23/2011 5:42 PM, Mike Huber wrote:
