Last year Bonneville got washed out; this year it’s Burnerville, oh woe…

Um, let’s see…so why don’t you “heroes” just offset your project by…NOT BURNING all that perfectly good dimensional lumber and donating it to Lahaina or Habitat for Humanity afterwards??? Oh but then you wouldn’t have your techno-retro-hippy “catharsis” to hook up your communal hearts to for another year, yeah. 25K sounds pretty cheap [do I smell a scam here – oh, nooo, not really] so why stop there – greenwash ALL of BM! What would that take?  Whoa…hard to guess; lotta fossils burnt despite carpooling 80,000 hearts even if they’re all squeezed into 20,000 Priuses and from the look of past events a lot of people are more likely to be tooling out there in quarter million dollar motorhomes with generators to keep them chill during the desert days, hey…

As for me, I needed a haircut which Linda, the 3D person, sculpted just before

our brother-in-law Dave glided in from Kansas in time to walk large dogs around the perimeter

prior to meeting Other [transplanted*] Massachusettians for a most pleasurable dinner

…so pleasurable, in fact, that we all ventured down to Mountain Water the next day for a visit

before lunch to check on, among other things, how the cutting from our Habib Pear was doing,

[hard to see, but it’s hangin’ in there] then later,

while the Model 3 fed off our dryer socket, Dave made us elaborately delicious fish burritos

and the next morning, another Thursday, we climbed the knoll

before he left for Taos, leaving us to watch a considerable

lightning show to the south while feasting on the remaining fish burrito fixings…

Friday the weather had definitely rounded the corner towards fall

but we’ll give it another few days, waiting and seeing.

…nonetheless, with another Temple Burn [and FLCA] on the horizon can winter be far behind, um?
