there isn't much left in utah for me to see, is there

i have been wanting to go to the salt flats for a while but couldn't figure out how to justify a 2.5 hour drive just to see a flatter desert than where i already am. so when i took a friend to the airport on sunday, i decided that it was time. there really isn't much out there. its name is a good description of what it actually is.

oh... the places i go

i had the great honor of going to vegas with sara and brooke the other weekend. that is a strange place yes sir but it was a nice temperature. it also was a nice temperature in the shops that we were in the whole time. shopping is really similar to gambling: you go into it thinking you're going to spend a certain amount, but you can always justify just putting a little more down. however, not different in the way that i have awesome clothes in addition to an awesome hole in my wallet i'd have either way.

here are some pictures of the back of sara and brooke's heads doing typical las vegas activities.

i'm not the only one

this morning on the way to work, the radio taught me about this new nasa technology that can approximate how many trees are on the planet by the unique sunlight reflection trees give off.

1. how cool is it that trees give off unique light
2. 400,246,300,201 trees

does that sound like a lot? it is 61 trees per person only! this fills me with a lot of anxiety, and i want to protect my trees. i know my trees are not here in utah (there are 12 trees in the entire state) so i am afraid my 61 trees are in a rainforest in brazil and about to be cut down! i think a great solution would be to actually give everyone ownership of their trees. that way people would never want to cut down their trees to print out silly pamphlets, or to build factories, or to make space for 2 additional parking spots. please just leave my 61 trees up!
