Burning Man: Saturday: The night of the Burn
September 3, 2000
As is now my ''tradition'' we ran the firefall after the Burn.
We tried to send Scott off to go dance, but said he didn't feel well...
Seems it's impossible to make Scott not work the firefall!
Dave, Leo, and Heather helped spot and keep people safe.
Running the firefall after the Burn is simply then best place to hang out!!

Most of these pictures were taken by Scott.
Note: the two elderly people were talking in some slavic language I didn't
understand. I tried to explain what was going on -- with the elderly man
stopping to explain to his wife [?] -- but his english was limited. It took
them a moment to get up the courage to try it out -- the man first, then the
woman -- and I couldn't help but snap these pics of them.
They were such beautiful people [if you find hard-working folk
to be beautiful people] and I was just struck by who they were and what
brought them to the US and to Burning Man... The story there must be a
really amazing one!

Burning Man: Friday: Pump oil plug gets mud in it!
September 1, 2000
The pump suddenly stopped working on the first night we finally are able to
run the Cauldron... We go over to look...and the pump plug has fallen out
and mud has gotten into the oil!!!! This is a total disaster! Scott and
I worry we've lost the pump entirely...
[Luckily the next day, Joey says to just fill the oil back up and give it
a try -- and it works!!! ]
