Adventures in Zion: Chasing Cows
Shauna and I spent the weekend with my mom at Zion National Park for Mother's Day. The park more-or-less centers around the small town of Springdale just outside of the park's entrance. It's a very rural town split between touristy...
Luddite Legislators Make Utah a Laughingstock
There are some distinctions you don't want. Utah managed to grab the dubious honors of being named in 3 of the top 10 worst Internet laws ever, all of them making the top 5. So what exactly did we do...
