Four days down, one to go… and, we are one day closer to Disneyland.

…and the crisis continues. There have been stories of miraculous rescues from the wreckage and rubble. This is good ,but there were still too many senseless deaths.

The day was fairly typical: Gym, work, home.

I have been trying to contact my best friend in Maryland…. to no avail. I did manage to talk to his sister today – turns out that he has moved and has a new number, which would explain the “The number you have dialed…” messages that I have been getting. I got the new number and will now have to read him the Riot Act for not calling or emailing me with the new info.

Other than that, there have been two noteworthy events here in the high desert today:

• I saw something tonight that was a welcome sight: Lights on an airplane landing at SLIA. The skies have been empty and silent, but this was a pleasant return to a more “normal” state; I think that I had taken seeing them overhead for granted.
• Two trains – one passenger, one freight – collided near the UT/NV border. Amazingly, all passengers and crew survived.

And that’s the news from Lake Wobeg…. no, that isn’t it. Lake Michiga…. no, not that one either. Hmm. Oh, yeah. Salt Lake City! That’s it! *duhr*

Peace.
