Wasatch Mountains on the east side of Salt Lake Valley

Sunday we took a trip up into American Fork Canyon; it was a bit cool, but a picnic was enjoyable anyway.
There has been quite a bit of snow up there (we were only at a little over 8000ft elevation), but most has melted until you get up onto the mountainsides. Didn't see much in the way of wildlife, but we did get a few pictures at both American Fork and Sundance.

Got a pretty good laugh at the news this morning.
Obama aide accuses Fox of operating as GOP arm
I don't see what all the excitement is about; ABC, MSNBC, and others have been sucking up to the Whitehouse for months now; seems sort of silly to get pissed just because one small part of the media doesn't seem to be in their pocket. Of course, if it were up to them I guess anything that isn't praising The One would be ruled as hate speech, and illegal. I'm no fan of the Republican party, but lately the Democrats are really getting on my nerves. They seem to act like they are better than anyone else, but I don't see where they are any better than the assholes in the GOP. They're certainly no smarter, and they are just as corrupt and hypocritical.
Just my opinion.

A lot of people don't remember Johnny Horton. This one from the playlist was one of his best, in my opinion.

I think your normal weather got confused and landed in MN. It's been snowing all day here and they're predicting a few inches by the end of the day. Of course, tomorrow will be 45 degrees and it will all melt. Normally, we'd still be running around in short sleeves this time of year.
I like Born to Fly - Sarah Evans.
You're in one beautiful part of the world there, Bob. Your music is traditionally good - Horton was appropriate.
Lotta mighty purty pitchers there, Bob. That's a part of the country I wish I could spend more time in. So many places, so little time!
My 12" of snow has turned into 4" of mud. There is very little snow left, save for the north side of hills and trees. I'm not worried tho': I know there will be more! :(

I may be one of the few people my age to listen to Johnny Horton.
Both my brother and I could sing many of his songs: North to Alaska, Battle of New Orleans.
Wow, brings back memories. thanks
