The night before

 

It's the night before a major holiday here in Utah. Tomorrow's Pioneer day. Pioneer Day is Utah's basic Founders Day. That great day when the Pioneers looked down from the mountaintops in their leader indicated that this toasted piece of ground part of the great desert is the place where their new homes would be. I am surprised the whole kitten caboodle didn't just turn around in their wagons and head the other way. I guess there was a number of individuals that kept heading west and finally arrived in California but for the major portion the Pioneers came to this Valley- - Salt Lake Valley. You can explode fireworks twice, legally, in Salt Lake in July. Of course there's the 4th of July which results in a lot of fireworks and then big time there's a 24th of July which is totally firework related. I guess you can start launching fireworks 2 days before each holiday and I think a day afterwards maybe 2 days I don't do fireworks so I don't really know. But the fireworks started now and they're very explosive I've never noticed before the last couple of years that the fireworks are very very loud as well as explosive. There's a park just north of our apartment complex and I guess this is a great place for launching these fireworks but they're certainly loud like a bomb going off next door. I don't have a beast but if I did I don't know what I would do for them aside from give them a large dose of Valium and or locking them in their own room while the bombs explode. I guess these two holidays are quite significant for these little guys.

Fortunately for me Pioneer Day is pretty insignificant. I do enjoy the feeling of holiday Pioneer day renders. If I really energetic I could get up and go downtown for the big kick ass parade that curses the city on the morning of the 24th. Luckily the holiday is celebrated enough that this eruption or disruption of transportation is not totally disruptive. More and more national International businesses have popped up in the area that don't celebrate the holiday. I think bus service is supposed to run pretty close to normal for the day. They have traditionally used the “ holiday” schedule, meaning anything faster than half an hour headways is down to just half an hour headways. Like Redwood Road runs 15 minute headways holiday schedules down to two bus stops an hour hopefully that made sense. Fortunately the holiday lasts only won 24 hour period so I don't have to deal with too many routine mess ups. I doubt I will do anything more than the usual, perhaps maybe even up to the movies. I would just jump on one of the buses doing a holiday schedule and be sure that I caught the bus with ample time before the movies. 

Oh, and Zjust an update my brother was here a few moments ago and spent some time working on my rickshaw- - remember the handle got stolen my brother Carl was able to Fashion a piece of wood into a new handle so I can use the machine again and build up some strength. The brother also adjusted my chair seating situation which I think will greatly assist me as far as not scraping the bottom of my chair on the floor as well as the pavement and other sidewalk issues that's been tripping up my chair recently. The only problem is any change to your physical environment like this causes my whole body to rebel against what you mean . Hopefully once the chair are my body gets used to the chair setting I should be okay and hopefully the skin breakdown  stop...
