my mind is in the gutter

Imagine my delight to open the mailbox and see this....


Apparently, Dave is now a professional bowler. Either that or he once went bowling in Helper on League Night on a fateful day last November. Whatever the reason, we are now subscribers to three magazines...."The Ensign", "Taste of Home" and "US Bowler". I don't know why seeing this bowling magazine in my home made me laugh so much. Maybe it was the idea that bowlers take themselves seriously enough to distribute a publication regarding their "sport". Maybe it was the cover story titled "Pain meds that work!". Look again, it's there. Evidently, there are a lot of injuries and opioid addicts in the bowling community. People in Carbon County take their bowling seriously - as much as hunting trophy game for head mounts, reusing coal belts in landscaping, burning your own trash and the PRCA rodeo. It seems we are finally starting to fit in.

Easy! There is nothing wrong with burning your own trash! You can use our burn can any time you want, it's right on the lot!

This brings to mind all kinds of ideas for pranks involving signing people up for magazines. Melissa, be watching for your first issue of Alaska Men.

I'm looking forward to the coal belts in your front yard....
