What The *#@^!

Being the conscientious citizen that I am, I was reading through my voter information packet when I came upon this little gem.

Those of you who have lived in Utah during the past decade may remember "SuperDell" as the owner and annoying spokesperson for Totally Awesome Computers who drove his company into the ground. Later he became known as the crazy guy who was arrested for flying a small plane low over the freeway in North Salt Lake, and the crazy guy who was arrested for pulling a gun during a road rage incident in a residential neighborhood. Nowadays he is the extremely annoying and obviously insane spokesperson for Money Train Title Loans, and apparently gubernatorial candidate. Notice that his alleged running mate was apparently too embarrassed to submit a photo or a statement.

I was not impressed by Karl Malone years ago when he told a reporter that running for governor of Utah "...do interest me. It really do." However I am more impressed with Karl than I am with this yahoo. With people of this caliber running for public office it is no wonder that our country is in such a mess!

Could It Be A Park?

This is a shot of the old Clover Club lot near my house. They have been talking about turning it into a park for at least the last four years, but nothing has ever happend. A few weeks ago the started mounding piles of dirt on the lot. There are three big mounds of dirt, and each of them is a different color. Every day they drive front loaders around and they smooth down the tops of each mound then they pile some more dirt on top. Could this be the beginning of a park, or are they just paying some guys to play with dirt? Your guess is as good as mine. It reminds me of when I was little and there was a big mound of dirt in the spare lot across the street from the Wilson's house. Colby and I loved to play Cowboys and Indians on the "mountain".
