Hi Gran,

That trolley square is a really neat place, lots of botiques, restaurants, cute stores, and a novel place in town. When Salt Lake City had real trolleys, that was a hub. It grew up like the Pike Place Market in Seattle, just being randomly added to whenever someone wanted a new store opening. There are several levels to it, it is not one of those pre-planned places. The gunman got off 20 shots at different people, and hours later people hiding out in closets and concealed places were still coming out. There was some confusion as to how many shooters there were, it turned out to be one kid trying to do a real-life game of 'Doom', of course he was shot dead.

The other news was a body floating in the Provo river -- found about the same time -- by two high school students who had just left classes. That was much closer to home, since we were at that spot where the body was found just a few hours earlier in the day on a walk along the river. There is a beautiful paved trail that goes 12 miles, I've posted the scenery along the upper end back last spring on this thread. It goes from the lake to a river confluence up the canyon.

The main consequence was my daughter who wanted to sign up for a concealed carry permit and pick a weapon. She came over last night and we discussed when to take the class, what gun to get, and so on. Then we all watched that Penguin movie, "March of the Penguins". That really is a movie to watch when you want to just enjoy a nature movie and be entertained.

So there you have it Gran, I try to program on the Mac, now that I have gone through all the hoops to be able to work on the Mac like I used to do before retirement on the big Unix systems. When I talk through what I should do different to be more productive programming at home with my significant other she is quick (as in very quick) to point out I should not be surfing the net so much. So I may be quiet from time to time too...
