I miss you guys

What a crazy, busy, unbelieveable summer! And it's already over at our house - year-round school means Sam the Boy Wonder and Hubby went back in early August. They're off for a couple of weeks, then back to the grind the week after Labor Day.

Not a lot else to report. Our apartment is cramped compared to the house we sold in Virginia, but we've managed to make it work. It still boggles my mind that rent on a two bedroom apartment in Utah is more than our house payment in Virginia. I keep telling myself we'll have a house again someday, but I don't see how!

Random weirdness: I was covering a story in downtown SLC on Friday, on what you could more or less call one of the main drags, North Temple Street. I parked the truck so I was in close proximity to a gas station, because I was getting reaction from the "man on the street" about gas prices. (Utah - third highest in the country. Go figure!) And here comes this guy WEARING A PYTHON AROUND HIS NECK.

I should've taken a picture.

I should've gotten out of the truck and asked him why on earth he was wearing a snake.

I should've called my news director and written a story about Snake Man!

I chickened out. No way was I walking up to a guy with a snake around his neck! But it goes down in the book as easily the weirdest thing I've seen in ten years. And I'm a journalist - I specialize in news of the weird, OK?

salt lake city, random, sam the boy wonder, hubby
