My oh my where does the time go?  I'm sitting here still working and told me son I'd be there in like 5 minutes - though I haven't left my desk since I got back to the office from my appointment.

You may already know Utah is home to almost any situation you'd like to live in.  Being the second most arid state in the nation (yes that means the second dryest state) we have plenty of desert landscapes (Think Arches National Park).   Utah is also known to have the Greatest Snow on Earth.  Who...
