The Last Dome

The Geodesic Domes across the river, called the Domes of Moab, have been an issue for myself and quite a few guests. They're ugly, there was no effort made to have them blend in. They were put up next to the river. The river is not static. It goes up and down. Even if you survive the floods the day the river goes down the mosquitoes show up and that's a blood transfusion every day. As the river has been going up they have made all kinds of effort to try and keep the Domes from flooding. Sand bags everywhere, front end loaders moving the bank up and they've probably added five feet to the bank of the river but apparently unknown to them the river is going up ten feet. Yesterday morning at 6am all kinds of equipment showed up. I thought they would start taking them down but instead they just destroyed them one after the other and put them in trash dumpsters. Out of ten, there were two left and it seemed like it was going to pause at that, but after a short break the equipment came in to finish it. Now, they are gone.
