St George is going crazy for Pickleball
I’m getting close on talking my wife into trying Pickleball. Her friends convinced her it’s just for old people and she jokingly asked if I want to meet at Denny’s for dinner around 4:30 before we play and asks if the courts smell like Icy Hot. It's for ANYBOD...
Utah is #1 for raising families, right? No?!!!
A new survey from Wallet Hub says Utah isn't #1 like one might expect when it comes to raising a family. That's our THING. How did we finish 15th?
Fuel Points Actually Help. Don’t let them go to waste.
What’s the MOST you’ve paid to fill up the tank in your car so far? I don’t think I’ve hit $90 but I know I had a few that were $85 or $86. Lately I’ve been thrilled to have filled up for $45 or so. When gas was at it’s highest around here, it cost me $15 or so to fill up my motorcycle. That hurt.
But now, I’ve ...
Ice Cream for Migraines? Or Just for Fun!
While on a road trip with my wife, I didn’t feel very good. I’d heard people talk about migraine headaches but I didn’t know what they were. On this day, I had an uncommonly bad headache and my stomach wasn’t happy. It was so bad, she had to take over driving, which never happens. And to add to the fun, we were in my truck and she can’t drive a stick. It was THAT BAD. About an hour later we stopped to get gas and I grabbed an ice cream sandwich from the freezer. Here’s the medical breakthrough. In about 10 or 15 minutes, I was FINE. No headache at all.
The most dangerous intersections in Southern UT
When we bought our house, one of my goals was to be east of where I work on Bluff street. Why? Because turning left to join the 6 lanes of traffic on Bluff street with no light is awful. I only had one goal and I failed at that. While there ...

A Better Plan for Your Resolution
The problem with sticking with a New Year's Resolution is trying to do too much right out of the gate. Slow and steady. Sticking with it does more than trying to run a marathon or lift your car on day 2.
Using Holiday downtime to speed up your computer. What could go wrong?
My computer blew up when I was removing some apps to lighten it's burden when starting up. But I learned something cool in the file restoration process that might come in handy for you.
You live in Southern Utah and your friends are jealous
By now you’ve learned almost no one in Southern Utah is from Southern Utah. Now and then you’ll find someone born and raised here or an occasional 2nd or 3rd generation native but it’s rare. For those who moved here from somewhere else, you know this is the time of year when you start to hear from friends and family across the USA. Why? Their daily...
Utah Loves Shopping at 2nd hand stores but skip these items when you do
I like to buy second hand. Garage sales, 2nd hand stores, cars and more. But I learned this week that "experts" have a few things on their list that they never buy from a second hand store.
