Nighttime Highway Landing Leads To Fatal Traffic Crash

Though several cars were able to stop and initially avoid the Cessna, a pickup truck slammed into four vehicles, some of which then were pushed into the aircraft. One of two people in the cars reported to have serious injuries died Monday night. Two more suffered minor to moderate injuries.

The landing was safe, just drivers not paying attention to the road as usual.

Utah is so gay!

I see two people on the sidewalk in front of me. One points to a flag flying above the café, and says: ‘Seeee? Pride flag!’ The other gives a nod of approval, and they turn to enter the shop, doubts assuaged. In a place of what might be called ideological extremes, pride flags don’t just symbolise rainbow capitalism but a broader sense of safety and ideological identification.

I don’t think everyone would agree but, for all parties, gayness seems to have become what the anthropologist Darryl Li calls a competing universalism – an alternative vision for humanity (and Utah) competing with certain iterations of Mormonism, conservatism, liberalism and US identity.

There's a beautiful sky this morning!! It must have rained somewhere. The Wildfire Smoke is gone..for the time being.
I expect it will soon be filling up the Salt Lake Valley again.
Yes...I' leaned out of my 2nd story window to take this picture.

I'm what is referred to as a 'Rock Hound'. I love geology and I would have become a geologist - but I couldn't do the math. Hahaha!
But I can still study it and collect rocks and minerals to my heart's content - and date nice Geologist men.
- This is a Utah mineral VARISCITE. From a chunk of it a clever and skilled artist/sculptor carved this frog.
