10 digit dialing

Are you opposed to the new area code that'll be added to the Wasatch Front? Do you feel it will be a big hassle to dial 10 digits for local calls? One Utah legislature is sponsoring a bill to change up what the Public Service Commission has been planning on since July 2007. You can read the Salt Lake Tribune article here.

Given the dire economic climate do you think this ought to be a priority for legislature? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cool CNN Website

Do you have particular election races or ballot measures that you are interested in following? I know that sometimes I don't want to listen to the news anchors go over the same results over and over again and only sporadically mention the races that are important to me.

The Perfect Debate Watching Menu?

This morning I'm dreaming of the perfect debate watching menu for tonight's VP candidates' debate. How does this sound:

• Main Course: Sarah Barracuda Fish Tacos or Moose Burgers


• Dessert: Baked Alaska Cupcakes

Any other suggestions?

Perhaps this is one reason that I can't sleep at night

At first, this letter to editor in today's SL Tribune made me laugh. Quickly, I became sad and scared. This is what many in America think and how they will vote. It is incomprehensible to me that Americans aren't terrified by the stance on the issues of the McCain/Palin ticket. I couldn't care less about her personal life. Her lack of experience is troubling but her ideology is why she should NOT be VP or God forbid.....

I'm writing a response to this letter and submitting to the Trib. I know Ban will do the same. I'll let you know if they get published.
