My Cave My View
Every eleven minutes, someone dies by suicide. Even more alarming is that two people attempt suicide every minute.
Statistics don’t put a human face to the pain of those that suffer from depression resulting in suicide and for those that are left to unravel the questions and deal with the guilt...
If there is a benefit to travel it is to learn about other people, customs, and cultures and of course to get out of the snow for a minute.
The plane ride to Hawaii was akin to sitting in the rear jump-seat of a Ford Ranger for six hours. The inflight meal was four bags of pretzels and a Coke. Am...
By the time you read this, I will be in Hawaii on a sandy beach wearing my Speedo, drinking a cold Pepsi, and eating Doritos. I know I fasted and prayed with all you good people for enough snow that we could prosper in the land, but I couldn’t take it anymore.
I am not a good person. I know that...
There I was thinking I was King Kong being retired and driving around in my tractor pushing snow and all that. Next thing I know I am in the hospital with blood squirting out of my arm. Shizz happens. But this isn’t about me, this is about the staff at the hospital that saved my life.
They...
The Clay Hills area is on the route that the Mormon settlers took as they migrated from Escalante to Bluff, Utah, in 1879.
Go along Highway 276 from Halls Crossing about 15 miles to the east and you will encounter a mass of sliding clay; beautifully colored in greys, pinks, and reds depending on...
Day 1 – It started to snow. Hurray! I can’t remember being more excited. All the fasting and praying is finally starting to pay off.
Okay, my idea of fasting is to not put sprinkles on my donut, but when you live in the desert, we must do hard things.
8:45 - I am so excited to shovel snow. I...
With all this recent snow, we are going to need to discuss the size of your snow removal equipment.
I wouldn’t normally want to talk about the size of your equipment; but with the quantity and weight of the snow, well…size matters.
When I was in college we wuz so poor we couldn’t afford a shovel...
Well it seems like we are going to have to talk about what came first, the chicken or the egg. I bring this up because eggs are getting pretty expensive these days.
I went to buy a dozen eggs and the clerk wanted to charge me $6.29. I said, “Excuse me miss, I think there must be some mistake.” ...
It is the new year and I feel like I need to make some resolutions. Maybe I should just use last year’s since they would pretty much be the same; which as it turns out are pretty much the same as the last 40 years.
Truthfully, I haven’t been able to mark any off my list. Sure, I have to change...
Like most grandparents these days, we have had the opportunity for one of our kids and four grandkids to move back in with us for a short time. I call that Parenting 2.0.
Of course, I am thrilled to have them for a short time. But suddenly we have found our house back into full blown chaos,...
