Why is it that St. George, Utah doesn't have a Chinese food restaurant that will deliver? What I wouldn't give for some Chinese food right now, so long as I don't have to leave my house... It's probably a good thing, 'cause I'd scarf down too much.

You see, I just got back from the St. George Rec. Center where I got some great aerobic exercise, and I feel wonderful. You know, that relaxed, pleasant, all-natural endorphine high that comes from exercise. The problem is, after burning off those calories, my body wants 'em back, NOW! And with interest!

It's still drier than even a desert should be, at least this desert. This drought has lasted far too long. At least there's been progress putting out the brush fire west of St. George, though there are still billowing clouds of smoke pouring up (that's sounds odd, pouring up) into the western sky. One nice thing, as the sun sets, the smoke in the air makes for some spectacular color.

The Fourth of July is nearly upon us, and I'm looking forward to it. My family is getting together for the weekend in Pine Valley. I can't wait!
