It is hard to believe with temperatures of 100 degrees, but in a few months, it will be cold again.
In parts of Juab County, the day time temperature has been hanging around 100 degrees, but there will be a time when it will be as cold as hell! Welcome to Utah. When it does get freezing again, we can always crank up the furnace, but it is nice to have a fireplace, just in case, where we can burn coal or wood and cook our meals. Some political folks think the wood burners are the only air polluters, but they don't like to talk about our vehicles, as they get lots of tax money from gas sales. Now where do we get the coal if things get bad. I went over to Nephi's Johnson Coal yard, but couldn't find the usual stack of coal in the back. We used to drive to the south of the home and find it in the back. Bring your own gunny sack! We then went up to Dwane Tidwell's place but it looks pretty scare there too and their name is nearly gone from the roof. Now is the time to start saving some of that old wood for the fireplace, and even save up not filling the landfill too.

Yes, I grew up shoveling that coal That gave me a lot of incentive to go to college.
ReplyDeleteI do remember having coal delivered by Eldon J or Duane T or sometimes Fred Wilkey. I thought our coal room in the basement was a very scary place, dark, and dirty. Dad always laughed and said you like it warm don't you? I didnt care for filling the stoker or emptying the clinkers. Hadnt thought of that for a long time.
