Utah Summer




This summer has been more typical of the weather in Cache Valley. Highs in the high 80's to low 90's low's in the 50's to 60's. Last summer we had 15 days over 100 degees and lots of fires. It has been hazy from the fires in California but that has cleared out. The wildflowers are wonderful up at Tony Grove which is an alpine lake above Logan. Deb and I went up there last Wednesday for a hike. (found a patch of snow and couldn't resist)


Life has settled down for now but it is expected to compress here in the next 2 weeks. I had an interview with Utah State Department of Engineering for a full time position with their junior engineering education outreach program. I would deliver the engineering modules to the schools throughout the intermountain region , in-brief the faculty on each of the modules they will be using then turn them lose with their students. Some schools also conduct an after school show and tell for the parents in the evening.


That's plan A. Plan B is already in motion. Contingent on Utah State, Oklahoma University has offered me a job teaching at the FAA Academy beginning August 18th. So you see, things will be happening very quickly. We either have to find housing here in Utah or housing in Oklahoma plus all the fun of a re-location. All this entertainment away from home keeps us out of trouble.


Chrissy is due to deliver her baby in a couple weeks and we plan to return to PA in August for a brief visit.


We are still processing our Warm Springs Indian experience. I down loaded a combined 29 gig of images including videos. How do you go through all that? I burned my first DVD with raw videos, no fades, music or any fancy effects. It's a learning process. The picture I attached is Bruce Farrant and I sharing images from the day. (Marjie, you would have been extremely busy trying to keep up with Bruce's passion for taking pictures)
Thanks for reading, I'll post next week when there's more news of our plans.
