As I write this there is a fire in the valley near Saltair, that has led to many ducks relocating up here on the mountain, where the air is still full of smoke and ash. One thing the news fails to tell us, as they do in So Cal, is that the fire is “contained.” Contained is the word that you know you don’t have to leave your home and all the things that mean so much,
Contained is a word people understand, especially after spending your time talking about wind speeds (71-91mph) and the fact that this fire jumped I-80 toward the marina. It closed one of the major US highways, I-80, west of Salt Lake City.
A while ago I couldn’t see anywhere and now the air is beginning to clear. It’s lucky no-one was hurt and hopefully my husband will get home with clear roads.
Let’s hope for the best. Dee
