Weather

This topic is one we seem to have in common with everyone all over the world. Granted, the weather might vary greatly from one part of the world to another, but it is still either too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry.

Over the weekend and on Monday it was too hot and too dry. Yesterday wasn't bad and then today was just plain too cold, too wet and too windy. It's odd how we can get a 30+ degree temperature swing in less than 24 hours. Just goes to show that for all of the amazing things we've been able to come up with as humans, can't even come close to the power of nature.

This time of year we have a lot of snow melt and run-off and as a result, rivers are higher and faster than any other time of the year and can be quite dangerous at times. It seems as if a distant relative may have drowned in such conditions over the weekend. The theory is he tried to pull up his anchor, fell in and was swept away. It seems the conditions were so bad, they didn't want to send in divers to look for the body. That's saying something when it is too risky for experienced divers.

Camping is one of the favorite activities in Utah and Memorial day is the unofficial kicking of the camping season, but this is probably one of the most dangerous times to go up into the hills, particularly if you're going to be near any of the rivers and have young children.

Okay, I guess that's enough rambling for now. I'll try to post more later on when I have something to talk about.
