My computer died, and so I'll be typing on a palm pilot at night. I've done this before, but I'm still relieved that Ms. Bellamy said I can use the computer lab.

I just want to say thanks to Kathleen for the cherries, and that I was at the first two days. I kinda chickened out when it came to introducing myself to you guys.

I'm sitting in the computer lab (right across the table from maryrobinette, actually--she waves to everyone!) taking a break from the rigors. We're writing today. Just writing. Tomorrow it gets tough. Maybe. Though Mary and I are finding it plenty tough to write a short story in a single day.
Dear HSO, hoptoad, yanos, Hang in there guys. I won't be gone forever. >*<

I wish I could've afforded to go at least to the first two days!! UVSC is only 40 minutes from my house! Grrr! Have fun and learn lots of useful things.

Don't expect anything cognizent from us for at least a day or two. Boot camp was indescribibly helpful in so many ways, but it's going to take time to digest everything. We are exhausted after a week of eating, breathing, drinking, and sleeping creative writing. So much talent in one room was incredible.

Oh my God. You remember that I said last week that there was an interstate in Arizona closed due to a fire?
There is a five to seven mile section of I-17 where the west side is desert, and the east side is moonscape from the edge of the pavement all the way to the top of the mountains on the horizon. That was not burnt on my way to Orem. There was also a huge cloud of smoke that reached from Cave Creek (suburb of Phoenix on the north side) all the way to Flagstaff, over 150 miles away. It was a solid wall of smoke running parallel to the interstate about five miles to the east. I saw four seperate fires, including flames from one.

I'm just getting caught up with the world again. I leave for BC and the world is at peace. I get home and the entire Western US (except for Orem apparently) is on fire!
I hope Bobie made it home OK. They had sections of I-15 just north of St George closed as well.
