'Buttars' of Utah Jokes?

Utah has grabbed the spotlight again by allowing our legislators to speak before they think - & then continue to speak & continue to not think . . .
Senator Buttars is the latest embarrassment (he was the the previous one as well) with his documentary comments about gays being the greatest threat to America (Buttars in Trib).
Mebbe this'll keep the tourist population down - if this doesn't mebbe the liquor laws will.

OK - just shot this view of Little/Big cottonwood at dusk. Still plenty of snow, but terrific spring day - 50 & sunny! Me - I'm 60 & shady - oh my side! I gotta go . . .
