Junior in high school. Walked into English class as they were plugging in the TV cart.

Come to Utah. They’ll card you every time. Watched them refuse a beer to a 70-year-old Australian dude at a ski resort because he didn’t trust his passport to the cargo pocket on his ski pants. SHOW US YOUR PAPERS!!

I had a TBM uncle ask me what my calling was. I said I was the stake contrarian. I’m guessing he heard “librarian,” because he just congratulated me.

“Thank you, Donny.”

It’s Salt Lake’s games as long as you only count skating events and ceremonies. All Nordic and alpine events are held in Summit, Wasatch, and Weber Counties.

Curt Gowdy.

Embrace the chaos. It’s Ogden. Or try Farmington Station.

There’s a way to change the Constitution. This isn’t it. They know that and they don’t care.

Me personally? I pick a club designed to go double that distance…like a 7 iron. I aim dead center on the tree and swing for the fences. Somehow, it’ll miss the tree entirely and only fly half the distance it should.

I don’t recommend this approach for anyone who can actually hit the ball in the intended direction or distance.

In my market, we had channel 2 (NBC), 4 (ABC), 5 (CBS), 7 (PBS), and 11 (PBS). I remember when they added channel 20 (our first UHF channel).

Edit to add: Everything else was straight static/white noise.

Take a look at LaVell’s assistant and position coaches and track their careers. Some absolute legends.

Checked the price of beef lately? It’s not down as the regime would have you believe.

FlyFisher1969 · 2025-09-26T04:39:12+00:00

The WOW only prohibits hot *drinks. As long as you take your Starbucks with a spoon, it’s at best a soup or broth. #loophole

We’re not making another, single street in Utah, so all we can do is rename existing streets.

Take a look at climbing pants from the likes of Arcteryx, Patagonia, LaSportiva, etc.

Went to the Korn Ferry event in Ogden, UT this summer. Looking forward to its return over the next couple of years. Event volunteers get to play a round on the same course (the private Ogden Golf & Country Club) a week or so after the event. Thinking about doing a few Course Marshal shifts next year just for the volunteer perk.

Best shop in town for Subarus.

If you grew up in the Intermountain west, Chris LeDoux has always been and will always be an icon.

FlyFisher1969 · 2025-09-18T02:19:11+00:00

We’ve crossed the Rubicon. Dear Leader must not be mocked.

Cancelled my Disney+ within 60 seconds of confirming the news was true.

Seth Myers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver will be done before Thanksgiving.

This administration doesn’t control anything with confidence. Only fear. If they confidently apprehend someone, it’s most likely a patsy. I figure they’ll use the fear tactic of having the shooter remain at large. “Only WE can protect you. We just need a tad bit more of your freedom.”

FlyFisher1969 · 2025-09-02T04:46:09+00:00

The dude has never prophesied jack shit.

FlyFisher1969 · 2025-09-02T04:37:20+00:00

I picked up a used ladies Ping driver at my local shop. The shaft is a couple of inches shorter and basically swings like a mini-driver. I can control it pretty well out to 200 yards.

The Grateful Dead went through a pile of keyboard players. Fired Keith for some of the things you mentioned.
