Some of the best canoeing in the world is in Utah: Stillwater, Labrynth, Desolation, Gray's, and Lodore, canyons are spectacular.

Heck, we had drought warnings in the Seattle area about every other summer the past 15 years or so. Yeah, right! A drought in western Washington!

What, we had dryer rain?

My sister and her family still live in OlyWA. They were telling me that summer before last had a long spell w/o rain and that reservoirs were actually getting low.

Or "an acre and 40 new wives"

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm not from Utah but I've been living in Salt Lake City for seven and a half years now, it's an okay city.. better than some, worse than others. I don't see myself spending my life here though. Like some have mentioned it's a neat place to raise a family. If you're a college student it can be, well.. slightly boring. If you don't like snow or the outdoors it's probably not the place for you.

I have noticed all of the resourvors around here are low. In Indianapolis Eagle creek the water is about a quarter of a mile out from where it was about ten years ago. It seems to get lower each year, but this year is lower than I have ever seen, inspite of the fact that we had enough rain to have a bumper crop of beans and corn.

So far, I've been extremely happy in Texas.

I think he has said it time and time again. "I am not gay. I never have been gay." Why won't you believe him.

Excerpts from wiki

Craig married Suzanne Thompson in 1983 and adopted the three children she had from a previous marriage.

Equipment not working?

Allegations of cocaine use and sex with male teenage congressional pages by unnamed congressmen were pursued by investigators and journalists in 1982.[13] Craig issued a statement denying involvement.[14] Craig stated "Persons who are unmarried as I am, by choice or by circumstance, have always been the subject of innuendos, gossip and false accusations. I think this is despicable."[10] Craig served on the House Ethics Committee. In 1989 Craig was reported to have led an extended effort that pushed for more severe punishment of Representative Barney Frank for his involvement in a gay prostitution scandal.[15][16]

See a cover up for his gayness?

In 1999, Craig became sharply critical of U.S. President Bill Clinton for his sex incident with a White House intern.

Guess we know that he will never be caught doing that.

The last reported incident to the Idaho Statesman about Senator Craig's conduct came from a professional 40-year-old man with close ties to Republican officials. According to the man's story about the encounter with Senator Craig, the man "reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington's Union Station, probably in 2004."[10] A reporter for the Idaho Statesman interviewed Craig on May 14, 2007 regarding the allegations about his conduct, and in response to the reporter's questions, Craig said "I'm not gay, and I don't cruise, and I don't hit on men. [...] I don't go around anywhere hitting on men, and by God, if I did, I wouldn't do it in Boise, Idaho! Jiminy!"[10]

Well, he kept the last part of the pledge.

Went ATV riding with a tour sponsored by Polaris to Bryce Canyon and later to Richfield. Had a good time.
