cold air


The Cholla power plant, between Winslow and Holbrook - puffing away into the very chilly morning air.  Back on January 10th, 2011, I wrote about this at some length - and noted that it was meant to be retrofitted to comply with the Clean Air Act by 2020, and that I must remember to take another photo (in 2020! little did I anticipate the pandemic ...) to see whether there was any difference ... hard to tell, but it doen't much look like it.

I don't know whether any smoke from the Franklin fire has made it over here yet - it will surely drift, slowly - but tonight's clouds made for a spectacular sunset.   As for cold ... luckily we have someone coming out tomorrow to service the central heating boiler, which seems to have completely stopped serving the house.  The new a/c units can be made to puff out hot air (thank goodness), but we and the cats will be heading to bed early in order to huddle with some hot water bottles.
