Hey, I'm feeling better already!

According to this article, studies have found that blogging actually makes you feel better!  Not only that, but are you on a social network like Facebook?  Same thing.

So keep on posting people!  It's good for you and fun to boot!

It's like playing the stock market, except with real money!

This morning I put gas in Alisonwonderland's car.  The price for regular was $3.12/gal.  As much as I like complaining about the price of gas, that's not the point of this post.  Besides, I just saw a story that the folks in San Mateo, CA are paying something like $4.40/gal, so I'm not complaining!  Last night, when I put gas in my car from the same station, the price was $3.19/gal!  Sheesh!  If I would've just waited 12 hours, I could've saved $.07/gal.  It's really turned into a guessing game as to when the best day is to get gas -- kinda like playing the stock market.  Guess I'm going to have to follow gas futures a lot closer now...

100th post snowed under!

Yes, it is my 100th post (believe it or not).


No, the title does not make sense, but bear with me.


This has been a pretty crazy snow year in Utah. Where I work (up at around 6500' in the mountains near Park City) has really been hit hard. As you know, this is mostly good for the ski resorts. Sometimes, though, it's not good for the rest of us. And I don't mean driving issues in the snow and such. I'm talking about losing things in the snow. I'm sure most of us have lost things that fell into the snow and couldn't be found. Heck, a co-worker just lost his cell phone earlier this year.


So here's my second "Question" post in a row! Can you look at this picture and tell what was lost? Only look at the first one before looking at the picture below it. (I won't make you wait for the answer this time. ;) )


So did you find the lost item? Do you need some more time? Look closely. It's a little small, so it might be hard to see. Give up?


There it is in the circle. Still don't know? It's a Volvo! Yes, this picture was taken a few weeks ago, and now that it's finally starting to thaw a little, I can see that it really is a Volvo. Hopefully, whoever parked it there will come back in the Spring and look for his/her lost car...
