Thanks For Visiting

I got on this blog today to write something new and possibly earth shattering, but instead I started reading all of my old posts.

After reading them, I am more glad than ever that I started this blog. It has been a place for me to record my thoughts and feelings for others to read. I even thought to myself that when I die that others can come here and remember me (I know, that's a morbid thought...sorry!).

I also added pictures to old posts because a picture is worth a thousand words.

SOoooo if it's been awhile since you've visited my blog or are new to the site, I hope you will take the opportunity to review my past blogs and that you will get as much joy from them as I did.

No More Living in an Hourglass

Yesterday I had the opportunity to drive on the newly opened Legacy Parkway. This is a project which has been in the works for about eight years now. For years it was tied up in court thanks to Rocky Anderson (boo!) and the Sierra Club who were worried about the affects to the wet lands. The concession was only two lanes both ways, no trucks and a 55 MPH speed limit.

Until Saturday the only access that people in Davis county had for driving into Salt Lake was the I-15 corridor. The Legacy Parkway starts by Lagoon and basically follows I-15 along the west side and connects onto I-215 headed towards the airport by Redwood Road.

I probably won't take it going into work since I miss the worse commute and it only takes me about 30-35 minutes to get to work.

Hopefully now my commute home won't be an hour long any more. And there was nothing worse than when there was a wreck to be on the freeway for two hours.
