some stuff.

It seems a large number of Forest Service employees chew tobacco.

Thus, when refusing dip this summer, I am not awkwardly declining the artichoke variety. I am just awkwardly declining.

Just saying.

In other news, this weekend is the celebration of Pioneer Day in Utah, which they seem to take very seriously here in Monticello. The holiday originally celebrated the coming of Brigham Young to Salt Lake City, but in recent years the state has sought out a more inclusive attitude and expanded it to celebrate all of Utah's history. This means such activities as a mens softball tournement, ring tosses, and potato sac races.

Unfortunately it also means the closure of the following establishments

1. The library
2. The coffee shop
3. The video store
4. The liquor store

Yes...i did try and go to them in that order.

Apparently, however, there are also fireworks. So that might make up for the days absence of entertainment.
