This past weekend, fire smoke has been covering southern Utah and northern Arizona.  There's a forest fire on Pine Valley mountain (http://www.utahforests.org/pinevalley.html).  It's sad.  Instead of rain with the rainy season at this time of year, we now get fires.

California has been getting  fires instead of rain too, for the past 5 or so years.    When the "rainy" season hits, there's plenty of lightening to start the fires..but not as much rain as there should be.   The cause of all this dryness is the worst drought since 1400 years ago.  Imagine that!  It's sad because it's destroying the natural habitat in some areas of California.  And experts say, the habitat has less and less chance of recovering with each season of fires.   In Utah, there are large swaths of forest land that have been burned.  It's becoming a vicious cycle...a scary, vicious cycle.  :(

So... I get a new computer!!!  Whoohoo...  Having your computer crash DOES have it's advantages.  *Cheesy Grin*

(However, it's not something that I wish to happen very often.)

Damn..Damn..and Damn...  My computer crashed.  The warranty expired so our computer tech girl is going to try to fix it.  When your computer crashes..it's like, in a way, your arm is cut off.  The only upside is if she cant' fix it, I'll have to get a new one.  Whip me, beat me.

I'm no having a good week...starting with last friday.

Advice...

Never party, lose track of how many drinks you're drinking... and thereby get drunk ..all on a work night. It really...really... really..SUCKS the next day.
