The Salt lake valley is often drowned in an inversion. The air and the mood gets cold and foggy. It can be dark on sunny days and very gloomy on cloudy ones. Lake Bonneville has filled up again and we are the fish swimming unseen just below the surface.

Hermes and I need to escape, for it's not safe in the thick of it. Different sides of the bowl give us different views. We crawl out of the sea towards the mountain and then look to heaven and wonder. It could have looked like this a million years ago.
"Is this the way life has always been?"
"We have to move up or be eaten?"
"Are we not ready to stay above it yet?"
Hermes looks hungry, we better return home.
