don't want to stop looking

After a band reunion at the local joint for the Christmas show, I took the long way home to see a beautiful dead dinosaur. The great old tabernacle burned down. Took them over 20 hours to put the fire out. The brick walls remain, the ceiling doesn't; it looks like it's been bombed. Something so horrific you never want to look away. It was raining all day today like heaven had mercy on the smoldering ruin.

Can we leave the skeleton up forever?

  1. I don't know if I'll be able to handle seeing it. It was the most beautiful building in Provo.
