Don't Breath

So - it has been YUCKY here the past couple of days. The smog gets so bad that I can't see the mountains and I really don't want to go outside for any reason. It makes me think of this John Denver song:

The sun is slowly fading in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes I think I`ll never see the sun again

There`s a heavy fog between me and the mountains
It`s enough to make a grown man sit and cry
It`s enough to make you wonder
It`s enough to make the world roll up and die

I think it`s kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way the people work with their machines
Serenity`s a long time coming to me
In fact I don`t believe I know what it means

In the east a shaded moon is hanging lazily
I do believe I saw the old man smile
I do believe I did
I do believe he`s been laughing all the while

I think it`s kind of interesting the way things get to be
The way the people work with their machines
Serenity`s a long time coming to me
In fact I don`t believe I know what it means
Anymore

The sun is slowly fading in the western sky
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end
Sometimes it takes a lifetime
Sometimes I think I`ll never see the sun again

I know he says fog - replace it with Smog and it fits a little better. But I am glad it is raining today and that the air will be clearing up.

This is a pictures someone took flying in to SLC the other day. YUCK!

Pretty depressing! That is one benefit of living in the North Pole...we don't get much of the smog stuff. Bring on the rain!

Wow, you knew all the words to that song! I am impressed, and reliving my youth when I LOVED John Denver. Too true about the air, though. I'm ready for our next winter storm to clear it all out.
