Yesterday NASA admitted that there are thousands of pounds of space junk floating in orbit around our lovely planet.

There's an update on the elderly couple that was found dead a couple of months ago in separate rooms in their house in American Fork, Utah. Authorities have ruled the deaths of an elderly American Fork couple whose bodies were found in their home this year as undetermined...

OK, OK, the odds of an elephant getting loose in your town are very low. Like ridiculously low. Astronomically low. Practically none. But it could happen. Wednesday morning an elephant, spooked from the noise of a car backfiring, escaped its cage and bolted from a circus/carnival in Butte, Montana...

I've lived in 10 different state in the USA during my lifetime and one common link among them all is that the residents of the different locales think they have the worst drivers in America.

I've seen a couple of angst-ridden posts online lately, people stress-writing about a recent experience in getting on the freeway. I feel your pain. I remember as a new driver a few years ago (OK, more than a few) the biggest stress I had was the thought of having to merge with full-speed drivers when trying to merge onto the fast-moving Interstate. ...

Last year, we had a double-fatality in Southern Utah stemming from a wrong-way driver. Last month a woman was killed when a Utah Highway Patrol officer had to forcibly crash into the woman's vehicle to stop her wrong-way travel. Last week, four people narrowly escaped serious injury when they had a major collision near the port of entry in Southern Utah after entering the freeway going the wrong d
