Could he save me money on car insurance?

As most of you are aware of, it's been raining non-stop for the last 3 weeks or so. It's been bringing out many sorts of plants and flowers that just lay dormant in other, drier years. It also brought out this little guy. I accidentally stepped on him in some soft mud but he didn't look too hurt. I was just so shocked that there was an AMPHIBIAN at the cabin! I googled him and found out he was a tiger salamander. The only salamander species to inhabit Utah! I set him down next to the fence hoping he'll find his way to our neighbor's pond. Good Luck! I hope he makes it before it stops raining.

"Five Guys Burgers and Fries" in Woodland!

Well, not really. At least not the actual restaurant. I tried to recreate them for our memorial day barbecue. I made a list of all the toppings on their menu, minus the hot sauce and jalapeno peppers. They turned out pretty well... looking like they'd clog an artery or two. Gotta love the sauteed mushrooms, onions and bacon!
