South Turkey Creek House Fire
.jpg)
Here are some shots from Friday's South Turkey Creek Fire. A house up on Stone Gate Drive burned down, but the Inter-Canyon firemen did a great job of keeping the fire contained in the tinder-dry forest. Fortunately, there was no wind this time. Jennifer and I saw the house fully engulfed as I drove her into school Friday morning at about 8:45 a.m.

Goobye Blue Sky
[ Look, mummy. There's an airplane up in the sky. ]
Did you, did you see the frightened ones?
Did you, did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter,
When the promise of a brave new world,
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
Did you, did you see the frightened ones?
Did you, did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone,
But the pain lingers on.
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye, blue sky.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
