Lately, I've felt like I could really use some time away from civilization, and not just a few days, but something like a month or more. I'm just sick of the daily grind, and all the responsibilities that go with having a job and bills to pay and people to interact with. This is the same feeling I had before I quit my job a year-and-a-half ago and moved back to Price, and it was nice to have a couple of months during which I didn't have to work or pay bills. In fact, it was during that time that I bought my truck and did pretty much nothing but drive around off-road, exploring all the dirt roads and trails outside of town. I wish I could afford a month off from work right now, but I've got precious few vacation days left for the rest of the year, and I'd rather not waste them on my own mental health. =)

Weather Nightingale here, reporting live on the scene of a massacre in Price, Utah. It seems one Dennis Udink, after letting pressure from daily life get to him, shot up his house and his wife's mother's house as well. Not to mention the several, several, small dogs that will have to walk with limps from now on.

hehe.
