By the way...

Today is Pioneer Day. 159 years ago today the advance body of LDS pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, including Brigham Young. I've been reading 'The Work and the Glory' and am reading the last book. It truly is a miracle that anyone was able to make a city and civilization out of a desert and wasteland. I look at the valley now, and it's amazing. Trees everywhere where there once was only sagebrush. Isn't it great? Isn't it grand?
