I've driven through there many times. Did they ever finally finished the detour south on I-15 from I-80?
Another note that I forgot to mention before, skunks. Yes, those fragrant kittys that can ruin a day with a few drops of defense fluid. I've noticed an over-abundance of these critters alongside the roads and an inordinate number of calls to the Animal Control asking for help (this from my local AC Officer) in ridding them from under houses, sheds, etc. Normally, skunks avoid human contact, unless there is a good reason to do otherwise; i.e, food, shelter, adverse weather, etc. Now, the skunks must have been having orgies out in the woods; there are a whole slew, herd, group, flock, school, fraternity of them around. Like the old joke goes: Where does a 600 pound gorilla sleep? Answer - Anywhere he wants. The same holds true with these black and white marauders. Unfortunately, they have decided that staking out a claim under a mobile home is the ideal place (I live in a trailer park and I've heard all the jokes, thank you). Just last month, on the other side of the community, a homeowner discovered a family of skunks had set up residence under his double-wide, new manufactured home. (I bet you can see where this is going, can't you?). Thinking he could rid himself of these unwanted guests by himself, he set off a couple of bug bombs, hoping to drive them out. All he managed to do was piss them off and open the defense ducts. He and his family were driven out by the smell and are now living in an isolated room in a motel. He is also fighting with his insurance company over replacement costs to home and contents.
The more I research weather patterns, the more I discover that animals have the most advance weather prediction system on the planet, and know how to use it to their advantage.
