Fire on the hillside & Verizon

Ron K came by early this afternoon and asked if I wanted to go to the Verizon store with him.  He has been using the wifi here at the park and it's so slow that he gets frustrated.  A Verizon aircard or mifi seemed to be the solution to his problem and he wanted me to go along for a little help.  The sales rep knew his stuff and explained all the options to Ron very clearly, so Ron is now the proud owner of a 4g/3g mifi from Verizon.  They set it up for Ron and I am sure he will be happy with it.

I spent the rest of the afternoon watching basketball on tv, taking in the Arizona-Utah game with Arizona looking more like a high school team in the first half.  They finally got going in the 2nd half and came back from a deficit at halftime to win the game.  Ohio State vs Michigan State was an interesting game and Michigan State won the game and  broke Ohio State's 39 game home winning streak.  It was a rough game with tough defense and poor overall shooting by both teams.  

Al called us this evening and said to look to the southeast and lo and behold the Empire mountain was on fire.  It is a fairly large fire since we can see it from 10 miles away.  It is still burning a couple hours  later, but doesn't seem to be getting any bigger.   There was a short story on the nightly news about the fire and over 300 acres have burned so far.  We drove nearer the fire, but couldn't get a decent shot since it was so far off the road.  I don't think there are many homes in that area, so if they can contain it tonight, it shouldn't  be a problem.
