His Last Stand...
So, This morning, Marcus and I were randomly discussing General Custer, and trying to decide where his last stand took place. I was way off, guessing the Arizona or New Mexico region (I think I got that idea from a Louis L'Amour book DAD!) while Marc thought it was farther north, in the plains area. So, of course, we googled it, and found out that it happened exactly 132 years ago TODAY!! Well, yesterday and today, in June of 1876. I would type more about what happened, but that would probably take a while, so I'm just going to post a link to wikipedia! So, click here to find out more about General Custer and his last stand at Little Big Horn.

UT drivers joke...
As shared by my BIL, John...
A man was being very closely tailgated by a woman on Foothill Boulevard in Salt Lake City. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the intersection crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman slammed on the brakes and really leaned on the horn. She opened her window, stuck her hand out and made that familiar gesture, all the while screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection before the light had turned red.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tapping sound on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious SLC Police Officer. He ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the Police Station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, another Policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the Arresting Officer was waiting with all her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for the mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I also noticed the 'Choose The Right' license plate holder, the 'Families are Forever' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Angel Moroni emblem on the trunk."
"Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
