I am such a ninny. Even if the sun wasn&#8217;t going to rise this morning, I may have been able to get some pictures of early morning in the <a href=\"http:\/\/mms.nps.gov\/yell\/features\/canyontour\/index.htm\"><em>Grand Canyon<\/em><\/a>. But Arnica probably was going to bollix that too.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to have some pictures of my vacation on-line shortly.
