Kyle Jaussi in Smithfield is energetically forcing spring in his back yard. A snowblower eradicates over one foot of snow on his garden spot. Talk about Spring Fever!
Doesn't hurt to give Mother Nature a little nudge, right?

An iron catepiller with 64 wheels?!
Well it might not be a catepiller, but it does have 64 wheels.
This week on highway 91 traveling north towards Preston, I came across an interesting site. I call it an iron catepiller. What it really is, I don't know. But I do know that it was VERY, VERY big and required 64 wheels to transport it down the highway.

In support of President Barack Obama’s Transparency and Open Government initiative, Social Security has launched a new Open Government webpage.
The new webpage serves as the portal for all agency activities that support the President’s Transparency and Open Government initiative. It’s open for the public at www.socialsecurity.gov/open.
“Our new Open Government webpage gives Americans an opportunity to give us their ideas on how we can become a more open and transparent agency,” said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. “They will be able to post their ideas on transparency, participation, collaboration,...

I've kind of gotten addicted to PBS's "Larkrise to Candelford". I thought Daqus was being just plain old way too hard to get, especially in view of all the grand gestures of her latest suitor, the returned local boy made good who has built a hotel in town. For crying out loud, Daqus, I was saying; I can understand you're being particular but here you are at strike three and maybe your last shot at romance. And here he's built that town clock just to impress you, given the heave ho to his former and I might add stinking rich flame, and in so doing, surrendered up a fortune in lucrative properties. And then on top of that he's been letting his remaining business go to pot out of pining for...

With another round of layoffs hitting ATK last week, where was the hubbub? I have yet to see anything garnering any sort of real attention, just two small blurbs. I realize the government is trying to push the positives regarding decreases in unemployment, but to ignore a major impact on our own community is negligible at best.
At least one group is giving these employees hope. Primerica is hosting an open house to show people a better way. I'm not promoting the event here, you can look at the events page for that. I'm just trying to express my frustration that we aren't publicizing the extreme unemployment rates in the valley. With this 2nd round of layoffs at ATK, and the closing of...

Last week while driving from Egypt (east of Preston) to Preston and back, I went from fog/smog to sunshine and back to fog/smog. Depending upon where you were in the valley last week, the visibility greatly varied.
The weather lately in Cache Valley doesn't just affect us humans. The air quality and fog also have an impact on the animals and birds...

When it comes to Social Security benefits, you may be wondering who must pay taxes on them and who does not. Let’s look at the numbers.
If you file a federal tax return as an "individual" and your total income is more than $25,000, then the answer for you is yes: you’ll have to pay federal taxes on your benefits. If you file a joint return and you and your spouse have a total income more than $32,000, you’ll be expected to pay federal taxes as well. If your taxable income is below those thresholds, there is no need to pay taxes on your Social Security benefits.
If you need to pay taxes on a portion of your...

Last week I'm was presently surprised to see the beautiful windows of the Bluebird Restaurant had been changed. The windows before were such a nice change to Logan downtown. Giving a feel of how historic the Bluebird Restaurant is. The new windows however were even better. With old time pictures of local places. You could stop and stare at the windows and see dozens of different things each time. It was a joy to walk past The Bluebird to see just the window display.
Imagine my surprise when I walked by just the other day and found it all gone. The beautiful windows that were a showcase to Logan's history vanished over night. I'm horribly saddened to see such a feature of Logan vanish without...
