Using fans to get the air moving in the Salt Lake Valley

 
 

The Air Quality in the Salt Lake Valley

This Jan. 12, 2010 file photo shows smog and haze hovering over Salt Lake City. The thick layer of smog stubbornly lingering over Utah has fouled the state's mountain air so badly this week that health officials are warning people not to exercise outside and schools are keeping children inside for recess and sports. The smog is blamed on a weather phenomenon that pins pollution to the valley floors.

Believe it or not Salt Lake will not have near this problem when the spring and summer come again, but when it is cold out we end up with the worst air in all of the USA. The same mountains I love so much all summer long are what hold us in a Bowl for the winter as the valley floor get frozen and warm air covers us the mountains keep us cold and covered in smog.

Down here the wind hardly blows when this happens and there is no way to stir up the soup mix we call air, But I have always wondered if we was all to go out with a household fans and aim the to the north, turn them on high and get the air to move if it would not be like a butterfly effect and blow the air enough to help us…

If Tomorrow


If tomorrow the earth was to shake so hard that is finally dropped California in to the ocean, taking with it untold scores of life's and caused the earth go dark for days and days.
When the sun again rises to greet the dawn of this newly shaped world, what do you think that sunrise will look like??

About Me

I can still to this day remember the fear I felt as I worked with my first computer, figured for sure someone like me would just blow the whole thing up by touching it. But what happened was not the computer blowing up, instead it was my world that did. Don’t get me wrong here! It was not at all a bad thing. It was my world opening up to me for the first time in my life…

I live with what my Doctor calls dyslectic, I am not sure how he comes to that thought, I just thought my brain was wired up wrong. Add to that what the same Doctor calls agoraphobia, and then toss in a good sized dose of depression and anxiety… Wham!! now we have me…

Over the years working with the computer I have learned so much. I feel it’s much, much more than I ever got out of school, and I think it’s because once I found I could not break it. I also found I did not fear it. Its hell to learn from someone you are scared to death of, while sitting in a room full of other people you are just as scared of.

I have come a long ways since then. Ya I am still scared of people and places and things, I don’t think that will ever stop. Just as my depression will never leave me, and being dyslectic is a life time thing, but here on the internet as I sit safely at my computer, and with a great spell checker, and smart software like Microsoft Word. I am hoping to be able to share some of the things I have learned over the years. One of them is having a great passion for is Computer Graphics. Art done on the computer, and the design, and/or layout of Images that can be taken anywhere then used in your art on the computer.

I have enjoyed making images for a few years now, have tried doing many different types, but this year I have been truly blessed. My sister has many talents and one of them is writing, and thankfully she has been around to see my graphics, and she allowed me the honor of doing two of her book covers.
She is now working on the fellow up books, and it looks like I may get to do there covers also!!
