Horse Attitudes

Odysseo by Cavalia opens in Sandy, reminds us why we love horses.
Horse encounters are increasingly rare these days. Downtowners used to regularly hear the clip clop of horse-drawn carriages around Temple Square until the city fathers banned them in 2014.

Farewell to Siegfried, the Bratwurst King

When I think of Siegfried Meyer, two things come to mind. How my youngest daughter, Katy and I would always fight over his liverwurst, and what a great appetite for life he had.
