Centerville Slums
There is a terrible blight that has fallen upon the residents of a South Davis County community!
It has recently come to my attention ( by way of a response to this blog), that a large portion of the population of Centerville UT. feel that the area south of Parrish Lane is "The Slum Area!" After a review of past associations and conversations I find this to be a truism! Not only the people in general but also City Employees (Not Ron Russel?), who in the past were often required to spend time working in the area (including the mayor?).
The quality of city services, the type of services offered and the general appearance of this place is enough to make me believe it is a slum! (Time to cast stones yet?)
As the respondent was so kind to point out to me (in numerous four letter explicatives) this is an area which the rest of the city hopes, would fall into a giant crack in the earth, so that the rest of the city could become more beautiful and more Mormon (apparently a large population of heathens [also read "Lower Class"] live here abouts. (They don't pay nearly the taxes WE do, We deserve more and better services! They are not paying their fair share"[a true case of us vs. them!]
I feel that it is a sad statement of humanity, that individuals are allowed, nay encouraged to set themselves upon a crystal pedestal from which they may condemn, belittle and deride their fellows. That other citizens can and do allow this kind of non-Christian, bigoted, this "Hitler-ist, " elitist, type of ideology to continue and prevail to the point that elections have been predisposed in "church" [a whisper campaign in a low voice accompanied with looks of severe disdain ("you wouldn't really vote in favor of a non-Mormon would you?")]
Come on People!!! wake up!! It's the twenty first century and nobody is trying to kick us out of town any more!!! Lets act like Christians and not the heathen devil worshiper that we accuse others of being!!!
If we really intend for the world to be a better place for our children then we must first start at home! It is these kind of changes in what we teach others, that will lead to positive and fruitful changes in our Local, State and National government, so that they become honestly responsive to what we want and not leave the door open to outside interests as is the case so often today.

Global warming, a warning?
Has anybody besides me noticed that they seem to sweat a lot more than when they were younger? (that is assuming that anybody still goes outside long enough to really feel the temps.) I blame it on GLOBAL WARMING! That dire and evil term that represents the efforts of the rich industrialists and corporate interests to subjugate the poor downtrodden masses! The destruction of the entire world is coming, glaciers are melting, whales are dieing and my wife is premenopausal . Oh Lord save me, the world will soon be at an end! I must find a way to save the world, save mankind and make a ton of money from this! I will have to lie and perjure myself repeatedly in the attempt to get "THE WORD" across! I will have to form foundations and forums, I will have to give political speeches and withhold my support from certain politicians and I will have to obfuscate and hide pertinent facts and other information from the public! I may be forced to accept the Nobel peace prize of $1,000,000 and the global recognition, which I really don't want!
In the early 1900's the the precursors to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration "N.O.A.A.", began to gather together the heretofore independent record keeping of world-wide weather events and began to chart the long term maximums and minimums over time.
My research shows that in the 60's NOAA changed the approved design of it's weather stations slightly, the previous design required the use of a "Milk"white paint . The change was to a white enamel. A small yet significant change, as the temperature recorded by the internal charting thermometers began to over time, average out to show an increase of aproximately 1 1/2 degrees F. (the ability of this new paint over the previous, to transmit thermal radiation [heat] had been increased by this amount). This supposed temperature increase was documented and reported without adjustment for the change in the recording conditions.
There were additional changes from recording practices of previous years. Weather stations were located on top of large flat roofed buildings (re: heat collectors and reflectors), adjacent to large black-topped parking areas and airport runways and in areas of still air where the breezes previously flowed unimpeded. Now this might seem insignificant in terms of GLOBAL reporting but most of our international information has come from developed countries (who else would have the time or ability to care?) who have purposefuly copied our methodology in order to be compairable and acceptable in their results.
I remember being taught in elementary school (a long time ago when public education still tried to educate and create the ability in people to think on their own!), of the previous ice ages. There has been a phenomena of (historically) recent times (approximately extending from the late 1700's to the 1930's, with the maximum average lows in the late 1920's into the 1930's) was called the Mini-Ice Age. This was an event that has been experienced in part, in living memory ( I have interviewed numerous people who were alive at this time and confirmed the effects reported, i.e. increased amounts of snowfall, rainfall and lower temperatures as compaired to today.) This mini-ice age has created numerous historically recorded effects, crop failures due to cold, with associated famines (and yes, WARS), extinctions of animals and species, migrations (incluing human), glaciation and flood events.
At the time, I remember thinking about how good it was to live today and how much better it would be in the future and what interisting changes that there might be. My fascination has led me to notice such extreme finds as mammoths that have been found frozen in ice with GREEN GRASS in their stomachs and other such oddities. I have traveled to and about Alaska and seen land that is riseing from beneeth the ocean after being compressed under galciers, Ice bergs being calved in Glacier Bay and the dissapearence of glaciers from such easily accessable locations as The Grand Tetons, the Wind River Range and Glacier National Park. How much of this is the result of a period of natural cooling followed by a time of natural warming? (a natural cycle?).
This is definate proof to me of the previous existanece and end of a MINI-ICE AGE and of present natural and cyclic Global Warming! I do not ignore the effects that humanity has had from the dawn of civilization (cultivation of food, both plant and animal. The release of carbon and the changes in the patterns of plant life.) as probably having a minor effect on our climate.( Our irresponsible actions may have inadverdantly prevented a MAJOR Global Galciation event!)
Irreguardless of the actions of (seemingly or self-pronouncing) well meaning do-gooders, both historical and prehistorical evidence is in favor of cyclic temperature swings! How can I dare say this in the face of all the facts and rhetoric that have been expounded and propounded in recent years? By taking an honest look at those self same facts without all the rhetoric and obfuscation present.
Many are as I have previously stated. Tree rings (growth rings show favorable times of growth), Ice cores ( show amounts and types of precipitation), erosion of land features ( types of soil and patterns of erosion and deposition) and locations of and patterns of, Human habitation and abandonment are among others that should be considered.
There have been previous times of elevated average temperatures. Most recently there is what is known as "The Medieval Warm Period" which peaked at about 1450 and lasted for over a hundred years! (can you say Global Warming without cars and power plants?) at a time of low human population or impact!
At present, our scientists who study the other planets (not the Earth) and the nearest star (yes, we live adjacent to a giant thermonuclear bomb which could explode and contaminate the Earth!) are finding that all of the planets have recently began increasing in surface temperature (re: warming)! Should we have our electric cars in space? Are we now polluting the universe?
It seems to me that GLOBAL WARMING is cyclic and natural and not just restricted to our planet.
That we, as the most vigorously persistant, large life-form on our planet, have and will continue to have, an effect on the weather of that planet, from prehistoric times, on into the future!
If we continue to allow and support extremeist ideaologies to dominate and control our politics, our policies, our choices and the way that live. To repeated give insane sums of money, adoration and control to people who have a demonstrated disreguard for truth and responsibility to their fellow man and to this planet for their own personal gain, we are just asking for this behavior to continue and that we will fall under their sway to the point that we will talk ourselves out of even trying to think on our own.
(A plethora of good information is available on the internet concerning both sides of the argument. I would hope that people will take time to investigate on their own before they draw a conclusion that could result in irrepairable change. I do caution people to moderation in all things so as not to result in depletion of resources!)

Re: The Govenor
As reported earlier... It seems that the State Fair may not be so in all of their dealings. I do know that the governors office was informed of the facts as then known. Yet it seems that his office has such an excellent set of filters (not just electronic) in front of it that when an opportunity for political advancement presents itself, gift wrapped, in front of his office (call the bomb squad...it was unattended) to which notification was sent, they cannot be bothered. Well Governor Herbert, It seems that there is another political party out there who just might be interested in your office (can you say Caroon?) . Possibly, you may be just waiting for things to sort themselves out. It is possible, that the expense of investigating this (a phone call or two by the lowest paid staffer or unpaid intern?) would be of such vast monies that the benefits to the people, that have been freely given to not only the voters of Utah, but especially to the children, is of little or no consequence or interest to you. (can you say budget and tax increases, loss of income?) aw well... you can try to lead a horse to water!.... Say, who is that walking over there?..."Hey! Pete!, do you care about...?"
Oh, by the way guv, enjoy your vacations at taxpayer expense (Can you say "Justified"?).

Down home politics
I must admit to having a political
(you might want to look this one up,
((Unless you are lazy))
as most people think they know what political means)
agenda of my own. I would like the world to get along and everybody to think
(as I tell them to)
like me.
Fortune is a double sided coin, in that if my desires were the rule, then I would rule and nobody would agree with me for imposing my ideals upon them!(could this be the golden rule of politico's?)
Political parties are formed with idealism and a lot of energy,(look at the continuing evolution of the "tea party") and are therefore surrounded with rhetoric that sounds great to a passing ear. As time goes by, these original ideals will become polluted by well meaning yet ignorant individuals (who were attracted by the chance to make noise),
who want to bring about additional changes so as to make their party be more palatable to supposedly more people.
(t'aint always so McGee!)
The large majority (as opposed to the small) of the populace of our once great country, is mentally either deliberately lazy or mentally substandard
(not a very PC statement is it?, but true none-the-less! especially when today's I.Q. scores are lower on average that at any time before!
((can you say no child left behind, let no child excel so that others may feel bad!))
((t'is better to cause harm to the few, than to the many)))
in that they will not have done any research on candidates for office and will either vote on party lines (this qualifies as research?) or just punch the top name on the column.

As a result of OUR actions
(yes, I will take responsibility for my past actions and accept the consequences thereof!)

we are left to having to deal with the results.
Bigotry (all kinds), racism (both kinds), predetermination-ism, graft, corruption, sexism, ...so on and so forth. If it is ugly in any permutation (to the people on the outside, not the people doing it!), we have it in our elected officials as they cannot afford (re:graft and bribe) to be non-partisan or non-responsive to the people with the money. (not including just those whom they supposedly represent ((see "honest politician" in my definitions))).
This is what our Country has become, this is what our political system has become and everybody knows it. As far as I am concerned, and what I hear from others, neither of the two main parties is worth the match, to light the fuse, that runs to the powder kegs, that could be used to blow them all to .....
Yes, I admit to an agenda. My desire is to point out, what I see from a conservative view point, the lies, deceits and abuses' that people have become common is so much of all of our politics, from news reporting to our highest public officials (can you say potus!).
I prefer the generic terms of liberal and conservative, as opposed to Democrat and Republican.
The party names seem to be misleading to a lot of people,
(democrat = I have a vote, republican = I have faith in and stand for my country)
while the other terms are actually more descriptive of a way of thinking and looking at the world ( which in reality is not the way they are used).
In a land where a person can be sued into poverty for not being careful (enough((as defined by the prosecuting attorneys))) with the words that they may use when expressing their personal opinions, A land where it has become a multi-million dollar business to elect an official, a land where your income is predeterminate (did I just make that word up?) on a political party, a land where you are chastised and ridiculed for declaring your belief in the Constitution of the United States of America as a Divinely inspired document? (anybody seen the "Vue"?) A land where the President spends millions of tax payer dollars to take mini-vacations that in number exceed the months in a year? (let alone allowing his wanabe trendsetter wife to run around on taxpayer monies too!) (when I can't even get one in the last 10 years!). A land where we will allow a Mosque to be erected adjacent to, and overlooking the hollowed ground where so many died innocently. The mosque which could be used as training and sanctuary (where legally they are immune) for future terrorists and a land where the President seemingly takes pride in pointing out that even though he has engendered a multi-trillion dollar deficit (that is a real legacy for posterity) upon our country for generations to come, which he originally had inherited from the previous administration (re: party) (who was fighting a war against terrorists when his party was ousted) who left him with a vastly smaller deficit to contend with, after having received a balanced budget from their preceding party. (Convoluted huh? well so is the thinking behind all of this!)
You bet that I have an agenda, as so should you. We need to get government spending under control. We need to get government responsive and under control of the people. We need to get the population overall, concerned with what is going on in government. That is my agenda, I may not like the results, but if it were truly to be" the will of the people" of our country, then I will learn to like it, will be compliant and will be supportive of it. Until that time comes to pass, I will be vocal about the failings that I perceive.

State Fraud or Fair
The following has bothered me ever since I first heard about it. My first impression was that such bigoted stupidity does not have anyplace in government, but then I remembered my definitions of:to rule, government, liberal and bigot.
The head of the Utah Shriners (Remember the Shrine Circus?) contacted the Utah State Fair Committee about a display entry for the Shrine Hospitals of America. He was told that to enter a Pickup and 20 ft. trailer for the purpose of display would between $6000.00 to $7500.00 for the run of the fair, but not to worry too much about it as they really did not have room (at the Nazarene INN perchance?) for the Shrine organization.
[Ed. note; the relater of this incident was quite upset. His perception, from the tone of voice and the verbal punctuation used toward the caller, was that they were told that THEIR KIND (undesirable 9/11 bomber type of lowlife garbage eating etc.,) was not wanted and would they please go away and leave that person alone as the were not going to be welcomed or kindly helped in any way!.]
As the original contact person for the fair was a Denise Allen, CFE Phone (801) 538-8476 denise@utahstatefair.com, Head of Marketing and Public Relations, who then referred them to another person named Randy_unknown____ it is speculated that Denise is Randy's boss and was calling the shots behind the scenes. (Yea for that great PR work Denise! way to go girl!)
[Ed. note; To be fair, Denises' boss's contact info. is Acting Executive Director, Judy Duncombe, CFE.Phone (801) 538-8445 judy@utahstatefair.com.
after that you may want to try contacting the office of Utah Governor Gary Hubert. I have but they wouldn't put me thru! You might have more luck if you called the Utah Democrats.]
The Utah Shriner's and in fact the entire Shrine organization js dedicated to and chartered to help relieve the suffering of all children regardless of, and with out cost to the people involved. Nationally the Childrens Shrine Hospitals (there are 22+ of these across the country) donate annually in excess of $550,000,000 (that's 550 million dollars) in treatment services to our youth irrespective of race, creed ,religion or national origin (something about that sounds strikingly familiar, some sort of document perhaps?).
Each hospital has a differing area of specialized service and treatment and will often cross communicate if required.
In Utah the Childrens Hospital here will donate materials and services of over $25,500,000.00 (that's 25.5 million dollars) this year alone making it one of, if not the largest charitable donations in the state. (Even Bill Gates, would not be asked for a penny nor expected to offer money, to care for his children)
In fact they are so highly regarded by the other health care organizations for the types of, and quality of care provided, that they are continuously referring patients to them!
The Utah hospital will on the average, provide care to over 5,000 children this year, and not a dime is asked in return!
NO ONE PAYS OR IS EXPECTED TO PAY. IT IS ALL PROVIDED FREE!!!
The Shrine expected to pay their fair amount and were prepared to do so. They feel that it is important to get the word out about what they offer and things do cost money (after all not everybody is a charitable organization).
The way that were treated and the tone of voice in which the treatment was offered was definitely not Christian in any way, shape or form!
It is for the children of our community that the Shriners exist. I do question the motives of the Utah State Fair committee, Are they in fact aware that such callous, bigoted, idiots are answering the phones in their names? do they actually approve of the actions of these people? are they taking public monies to perform their self appointed tasks? or are they in fact the front people for the unvoiced majority in our State Government (Can you say Gary Herbert and company, who by the way are running for election!).
If these actions are typical and normal to the great State of Utah. If it is normal to let people with this type of attitude run things in your name and out of control. If money (maybe a bribe offer would have helped, these people might be from New York or Joisey) is the All important Idol to which we bow before, then let us change the name of our state as it is no longer the land of Deseret and we deserve more leadership from people like Obama! (Can you spell extreme?)
Maybe the truth will come out and liberals will rule the lands. Governor Hubert would you like to look into this on your own or would you like some help? we'll be waiting here to report!
Ed. note
The Shriners organizations in all states are quite large and well respected for their works. Most people are either related to, or personally know a Shriner. When word of this behavior gets around (as it will quite quickly, bad news travels fast!) ,I would hate to be the responsible party and I think that there could possibly be economic retaliation for the proffered insult!
Please participate in the feedback poll at the end of this page!

In fact they are so highly regarded by the other health care organizations for the types of, and quality of care provided, that they are continuously referring patients to them!
The Utah hospital will on the average, provide care to over 5,000 children this year, and not a dime is asked in return!
NO ONE PAYS OR IS EXPECTED TO PAY. IT IS ALL PROVIDED FREE!!!
The Shrine expected to pay their fair amount and were prepared to do so. They feel that it is important to get the word out about what they offer and things do cost money (after all not everybody is a charitable organization).
The way that were treated and the tone of voice in which the treatment was offered was definitely not Christian in any way, shape or form!
It is for the children of our community that the Shriners exist. I do question the motives of the Utah State Fair committee, Are they in fact aware that such callous, bigoted, idiots are answering the phones in their names? do they actually approve of the actions of these people? are they taking public monies to perform their self appointed tasks? or are they in fact the front people for the unvoiced majority in our State Government (Can you say Gary Herbert and company, who by the way are running for election!).
If these actions are typical and normal to the great State of Utah. If it is normal to let people with this type of attitude run things in your name and out of control. If money (maybe a bribe offer would have helped, these people might be from New York or Joisey) is the All important Idol to which we bow before, then let us change the name of our state as it is no longer the land of Deseret and we deserve more leadership from people like Obama! (Can you spell extreme?)
Maybe the truth will come out and liberals will rule the lands. Governor Hubert would you like to look into this on your own or would you like some help? we'll be waiting here to report!
Ed. note
The Shriners organizations in all states are quite large and well respected for their works. Most people are either related to, or personally know a Shriner. When word of this behavior gets around (as it will quite quickly, bad news travels fast!) ,I would hate to be the responsible party and I think that there could possibly be economic retaliation for the proffered insult!

Do you believe in coincidence?)
In a recent conversation with an employee of Swire Pacific Holdings ( the local company that distributes Coke products, I was told a rather amazing story concerning greed and lies.
It seems a local highly placed executive became aware of questions concerning aspartame, (also known by various other names) and corn syrup, when used as a food sweetener, in the diet over extended periods of time. He learned that there are serious health concerns over these additives, especially with children who are the largest consumers of soda pop. He looked at statistics of obesity in children and young adults, of the chronic increase in diabetes within the population and other increasing health risks.
His growing concern led him on a quest for forbidden information and took him on a long and many convoluted path.
His research led him to aspartame, (the sugar substitute for most all diet drinks) a molecular left handed sugar, a form of which is artificially produced when a sugar syrup is heated to near boiling, causing a large percentage to realign in a left-handed spiral which is extremely sweet tasting , (home fruit canners have done the real thing for years) yet it is not converted to fat by the body. In the low cost process favored by Coke this product is produced in a form that the body converts directly into fat and is not metabolized to starch as normal sugars would be. It may be the agent responsible for causing certain cancers and other illness's.
He also found that corn syrup (the low cost sugar substitute for non-diet drinks) is produced almost entirely from genetically modified corn grown in this country (actually only in this country as other countries will not let the seed corn be sold there and consider it to be a criminal act against humanity to grow it.) Now what is so bad about G.M. corn? he asked himself? After further research he found a very compelling reason for these concerns.
It seems that the seed producing companies (can you say Monsanto?) in their desire to maximize profits above all else, genetically modified seed corn to be resistant to their own product "RounduP". This way the farmer (large corporate type) could weed his crops without killing them. Seems like a good idea doesn't it? Saves time and money!
The problem comes in where this company modified a gene and inserted it into the corn. As they soon came to find out the modification did not stay in the corn and when ingested by animals eating the corn products both human and animal (there were years of product trials and animal autopsies) became active and lives in the digestive tract in a form that (again) converts sugars and starches into non-soluble fats. To further the crime this modification is stored in the same fat that it causes and may never be excreted! (can you say complicity?)
This fellow was by now convinced that the soft drink industry as a whole was intentionally poisoning our country and that as a responsible executive and representative of his organization he set about to educate Coke as to what was going on!
Guess what? He was fired and blacklisted and is working today as a carpenter.
Where did I get the story from? His brother who today works as a delivery man, keeping quiet and low profile as he is just about to retire. Why did he talk to me? Because I displayed previous knowledge when I asked him if they were going to get rid of G.M. corn syrup and go back to sugar.
Additional information, did you know of studies that have been done, that while not endorsing large quantities of sugar in your diet, trend to show a significant weight reduction in people who switched from the so called diet drinks.
Dr. Pepper (disclaimer) has a NEW product, Classic Dr. Pepper with real sugar!
Maybe you thought Pepsi (disclaimer) was better?
The Soda Pop industry as a whole and the producers of G.M. seed, are guilty of knowingly promoting a dangerous product (aspartame). I am just waiting for the lawsuits to start!
These companies have in their quest for the almighty dollar and tight bottom line have knowingly damaged America ( How can I say knowingly? there are several whistle blowers still alive out there who do have the full story. I used to scoff also at stories of corruption and murder until I was involved in a couple of big lawsuits and saw what goes on!) believe it or not.

Fox 13 News
I was originally quite excited when Fox 13 (local Fox affiliate) announced that they had obtained as a co-anchor, the attractive(and single) brunette, Hope Woodside. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the viewing public, as things often will do, this young lady did not live up to her promise. Maybe it was the loss of her sidekick Jodie Sayland (the attractive and perky weather gal), mayhaps for other reason, but Hope has become Hopeless!
Overall the station has not done badly with the limited talent available to it. They have taken their limitations in stride and tended to laugh at themselves. (check out big Bubba!)
I don't have cable so I cannot say what the pay-for news is like, yet if they are professional and they can be honest with themselves.... they have a couple of problems here!
When Hope is on screen my family make a game of keeping track of the total numbers of fax pas that she commits and compare them to previous days for the record maximum. You just have to pay attention and not get caught up in laughter, as when she catches herself or her earpiece tells her something and she goes momentarily cross-eyed!
Sorry Bossy but unwashed pasture hair is so out of style and no matter how hard you personally try I don't think you will end up being a trend setter. I don't like it and several others have commented on it that I have heard.
A further problem that they seem to be blissfully unaware of is that they (Fox 13 anchors and reporters) do not make the news. It does seem that they keep trying to blow stories up BIG and fast so they can get credit for the "breaking story reported first on FOX 13!". I do know that the FCC has threatened them at least once for the way that they were reporting, (they said this themselves, or maybe it was one of the other channels reporting on them!(very cutthroat)) and I do also know that they have lost a lot of market share for their constant displays of arrogance. I do not watch the news for somebody's ignorant and unintelligent opinions, I want the facts reported as they say - "fair and Balanced". OMG! Hope Woodside won SLC's Best Anchorwoman for about 12 years in a row now. ... Tells you what the rest of the ladies are like!
(hang in there with "Hope", She' ll find a man (that stays around) someday!)

Road Rage
I must admit that I have a problem with those OTHER idiots out there on the road. I have driven truck for a living, Something that I find enjoyable and will still do on occasion. I have owned, maintained and driven a circletrack race car and have participated in numerous other motor-sports, both on and off-road, so I believe that I am knowledgeable, over a million miles so far, and can talk with authority about the subject. (If you think otherwise send me your bonafides and I will publish them along with your comments!). Utah has a lot of TERRIBLE DRIVERS and they think everybody else is wrong! I must retract that statement as I should also include all of the Intermountain West. (Hello there Idaho!).
I have noticed over the years that there are a lot of young female drivers, both with and without children, who display a total disregard for the safety of the other drivers. In my opinion they are as bad as the older gentleman, who on his way home frome work will change lanes without a signal, cut in front and otherwise rush to get in front of everybody else! Same behavior, same internal attitude! These Liberals are so self- important and so arrogant that they don't even see you, let alone that they are DISCOURTEOUS DRIVERS! These people(?) are so unaware that what they are doing is WRONG, that they will pull over and listen to you explain in infinite details the errors in their genetic code and why they should not attempt to save their genes or pass them on to their progeny (heaven forbid that they create others as bad or worse than themselves!) that they will try to argue with you while the 2 cops parked in the cruiser are roaring in hilarity! (that is NOT Hillary as in Clinton).
UDOT is doing nothing to alleviate the problem in any way, in fact they seem to be actively exacerbating it, with their Diamond Lanes and other LIBERAL traffic Ideas.
I can understand the modern desire of the soccer mom to have a large SUV to drive the kids in, so as to have false feeling of safety. I also know that they will cause some poor dummy to get a ticket for following to close, after having tried to put his engine into her front seat as a result of her cutting him off with 3 inches to spare and then slamming on her brakes!

Ford Dr.
Centerville City Corp., that group of Ultra Progressive Liberals of infinite intelligence and even deeper public pockets will never cease to amaze me! It seems that there is a "street" of about 80 feet in length (Ford Dr. , i.e. 350 W. 775 S. ) which these people decided needed to be repaved for the benefit of the basketball hoop at the end! Two driveways exit off the tarmac after about 15-20 feet and it was deemed of utmost necessity that the cracked macadam be replaced immediately. The public must have demanded the expenditure of the 10's of thousands, if not hundred's of thousands of public dollars in an effort to assuage the general anger over the multi-million dollar performance center ( Hey Mayor - do the grand kids have their performance ready?). The amount of intellect discharged to approve this scheme must have had the South Davis Fire Department on standby notice due to the smoke of cogitation that was generated. End result, It looks fine at this time guys. The public works dept. that did (not) do the work will, I am sure, be congratulated, if not paid!
Diamond Lane Blues
Have you driven into SLC in the past year or so? I live in So. Davis Co. and get this joy quite often. There has come a change though that is most perplexing.... the diamond lane.
The Diamond lane (dl for short) seems to be the creation of a highly placed idiot moron liberal who has NO idea what is going on!
When the dl was first put into effect it caused major confusion with the driving public. NOBODY had informed the public what was going on!
Traffic became snarled as the liberals were now in all lanes of traffic, slow traffic was trying to get from the left lane over to the right so that they could exit and semi's were being crowded around the lanes as they couldn't figure what was safe and nobody was telling the little cars what to do!
I believe that the DL is a tool of the liberals to attempt control of the conservatives (see definition of a liberal). There is NO fastlane anymore and you cannot legaly pass slow traffic if you are towing any kind of trailer.
The DL's do nothing constructive for traffic, they block an important lane to other traffic. They cause major slowdowns in traffic and they are becoming an income budget item in the government.

"UTA" The Utah Transit (non)Authority
....or how (legally)to rip off the people by using the aged, the infirm, the disabled and the public in general.
While on the subject of buses, has anybody looked at the UTA lately? This organization seemingly formed at taxpayer expense (and how) to provide massive amounts of personal income (ahem... ahem... read graft and corruption?) for a select few and screw anybody else, appears to have been given police, nay semi-military power and authority! Anybody remember a pickup truck with a flashing blue light running red lights in SLC and causing a wreck with severe injuries!
I have repeatedly seen UTA vehicles speeding on public streets. I have talked to UTA TRANSIT POLICE (while they were taking a timed hour long break) who iterated that they could do ANYTHING and get by with it because they had AUTHORITY!!! (what progressive liberal city, county, state - authorizes an independent corporate police force and pay them with public money?)
UTA does not serve the public of Utah.
Have you ever ridden mass transit in California?
UTA exists to line their own pockets!(and they are going to raise their rates again and ask for more money!)
UTA seems to believe that we are all complete morons! i.e. they want to put a train line thru South Davis Co. on the main streets of the towns! (lets see if we can kill more children, the aged and infirm, and pets as fast as possible!!!)
(nuthin dumb 'bout these gude ole boys, they seem to know all them thar tricks!)
..... and guess what? I bet that you will let them do it, just like you have let this problem continue and grow to this point. I'll bet that people are lazy and content to just let it go thru and not even bother to find out the who and what. Just like always!
(By the way, don't try to contact the UTA, after several attempts ending in 30 minutes of perma-hold elevator music (how nice of them, wonder what that costs?), I have decided they were right-we are stupid, dumb and ignorant!)

School Bus 87
Just a little while ago, While driving the freeway (August 9, 2010. I80 north) in SLC, I was blown about by a Big Yellow School Bus! They were in the Diamond lane doing 87 mph, ( I clocked them, ayah, I was breaking the law.) and it was Cache Logan school district Bus #87 at about 3pm. No students were seen to be inside(maybe they were all laying on the floor?) but I just gives me pause to wonder if this is a normal thing for them to drive like this! ah-well the progressives are in charge of education so we shouldn't be to surprised. (in a way I hope that we will and our children survive!)
