Spent most of Saturday watching Senator Kennedy's funeral. I have to say I was fascinated by the ritual of the Catholic Mass for a funeral. It is so completey different from any LDS funeral I have been to. One thing is everybody is dressed in black and it is so not that way with the LDS Church. Anyway it was interesting and I was moved at times, especially listening to his son talk about his dad, and what his dad did for him when he had cancer. I did not, do not agree with his politics, but I came to realize he was a very thoughtful man and tried to redeem himself from his imperfections, especially Chappaquiddick. I for one being far from perfect need to refrain from passing judgement.There is a wild fire which is really bad about 40 miles north in New Harmony. It's already burned down 3 houses. I woke up and it smelled like smoke It was spooky, just as I was writing this post yesterday, the phone rang with an automatic message from the 911 operator saying they were giving 1 hour notifications of evacuations in the Bumble Bee area and some other area I didn't recognize - somewhere near Kanaraville. They must have called all of Iron County. There is absolutey no humidity in the air. We need to pray for some relief. The wind came up which did not help things at all.
