A recently released study shows that the cost of housing in Utah has been creeping up steadily and affordability for a 2-bedroom apartment now requires making just over $13/hr. Predictably, advocates of a higher minimum wage latched onto this to demand an immediate increase. Sadly, they are still totally missing the mark in their […]

One of the first things I do when I'm all ready to go is jump on our website to check for comments that are awaiting approval. Imagine my surprise when I got up this morning and found that it wasn't responding. So I try to login to it and it times out. Uh oh. Panic […]

Gov. Huntsman announced his new proposed budget and after some time to digest it, it's looking like it's going to do things right. It's heavy on spending on one-time capital improvements while being modest with increases in annual expenditures. Way to go, John. It's wise accounting to control continuing spending while still taking advantage of […]

When a senator procrastinates, the imaginative bottle of beer flies into a rage. A wisely childlike garbage can knows the senator about a steam engine, or a garbage can gives secret financial aid to a sheriff about the tabloid.
Financial aid about the tabloid, eh? Sounds like the sheriff is taking bribes from that wisely childlike […]

After months of delays and tons of secrecy, Real Salt Lake finally comes up with the goods on its financing. Or does it? I would hardly say that a pile of spreadsheets with no analysis, charts, graphs, or any kind of presentation whatsoever qualifies as a disclosure.
Surely they did something a little more professional […]

On our way home from Cedar City, we stopped at the Wendy's in Fillmore to grab something quick to eat. The signboard had one of the more bizarre things I'd ever seen at a Wendy's: "All you can eat chili, Tuesday 4-10". So… if you're hungry for chili on a Tuesday evening in Fillmore, you […]

Isn't she lovely? She's a little whiny right now, but we're hoping that's just a bit of separation anxiety. She's used to being on this huge ranch with like 30 other beagles. We just got her today and she's about 7 weeks old. She's so tiny! And she really has the cutest little personality already.

I'm always on the lookout for articles on blogging with tips and tricks for keeping things interesting. It seems like the biggest problems are infrequent or irregular updating or the so-called "noodle posts" where you describe your entire day in painstaking detail. (I've done some noodle posts. I'm sorry!) After a bunch of reading, I […]

Bluetooth wireless headsets are not a fashion accessory. The only times it is acceptable to be wearing and/or using one of these things is if you are driving a car or doing Mission Impossible-style acrobatics while talking to someone on the phone (and the odds are 6 billion to one against you being Tom Cruise).
