Reading, Wearing, Planning

Reading:



I'm not usually a true crime or even decective or murder mystery person, but this is a book about a serial killer that operated near my hometown growing up. It's still unsolved, but two of the suspects lived in my trailer park growing up and I still remember the police surrounding their trailer, guns on the hoods of their cars, and, then later, my brother testifying in one of the trials. So far, I would say it is well written and portrays the area and people well.

Wearing: White Sweater, dark wash jeans, brown boots. We've had a fair bit of snow the past few days, so I am dressing accordingly.

1/10/2014

Planning: Tonight we are going to see the Freestyle Ski World Cup up in Park City with our friends Jen, Eric, and Dan!

We had talked about doing some hiking this weekend, but the recent snow makes trail finding a little hard. I'd still like to go out, so I'll read up on winter hikes in one of the hiking books I got for Christmas. I had initially thought of doing Frary Peak on Antelope Island, but we may just go out to Antelope Island and check it out instead of hiking the peak. Winter is supposed to be the best time to see the Bison, Bighorn Sheep, and other animals that thrive on the island.

And of course, the Patriots play tomorrow night :)

that sounds awesome!! I was looking at some photos of wintering bison herds. just gorgeous.

Apparently they use the island to seed other herds in the state. Since there are not a lot of predators, the sheep and bison can grow up there and then they have drives and airlifts that redistribute them throughout the state when they get older!

I LOVE those glasses, I think they're the same as the ones I have? mine have broken 2x and I'm fairly sure it's because my prescription is so strong and I didn't cough up for thinner lenses. Sigh.

They are the same! My prescription is very strong (-7.25/-9.00) but I only pay for the first level of indexing - I can't bear to cough up more.
