Tuesday, August 29, 2006They don't serve french fries anymore at the school where my wife worksThey are making some changes in schools across the nation and some of those changes have made it all the way out here.

Watching people all day, it's very eye catching when you see someone that is fit. She says they practically jump out at her because everyone is overweight. I told her about some of the things that...

The next time we go up there, I'll take some pictures to post here. The area that we think we'll end up is near the base of the mountains and left of the center of the picture. We were thinking about going up there on Labor Day... Sign in to see full entry.Saturday, August 26, 2006We are working on a plan to move a little closer to my in-lawsThat's our plan anyway. We have set as the target date somewhere between 1 year and 3 years. 1 year would be a miracle, 2 years is the most likely, and 3 years is that back up if things haven't gone quite right. We know the general area where we are going to live. Trey had such a great time up there...

Let me give you the back story and then we can get to today. A couple of years ago, I noticed that I was starting to lose my hearing.

People come out here and ask what's here and it's surprising what you can tell them. It doesn't look like much more than a few casinos sitting in a desert. As Salt Lake City gets bigger, so will this little...

Being in a city divided by a state line wouldn't mean much by itself but with these two states, there is definitely a line. Nevada is known for it's condoning of sin. We have gambling, alcohol, and brothels. Utah, on the other hand, is... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, August 23, 2006Another look at where we liveMost of the air force base is gone now.

I wish they would do more to keep the rest of the base from going downhill but the county...

I got up this morning and found more comments to my blogs than I have had in a long time and I want to thank you all.

Trey wasn't too sure about getting much closer. He did touch her once but the owner is holding the lynx's head just to make sure Trey doesn't get bit so I understand his concern.
