Pony Express Days, 2009
Monday, June 8th, 2009OK, this blog has been too long neglected. Those responsible have been sacked, and henceforth the blog will be maintained by llamas.
That said, I had a fun weekend with the SCATeam and ARES out helping with the Pony Express Days concert and fireworks in Eagle Mountain. They held a Tribute to our Troops concert Saturday night. I was working security and traffic control so I didn’t get to hear much of the concert, but I was nigh ground-zero for the fireworks. Always fun having shells going off right over head. 
The concert ran a little over … by over an hour. I’m sure those who wanted to hear the band didn’t mind, but those of us standing around waiting for the fireworks …
And it’s absolutely amazing the dumb things drivers will do, even knowing there’s herd of Sheriff’s Deputies standing around just waiting for you to do said “dumb things.” Really, folks, you are not special; you are not entitled. There were three or four cars that ignored directions from uniformed officers, skirted rows of cones and flares to drive through the fireworks drop-zone! Gives all new meaning to the term “Utahrd.” I was stationed where they were headed and the deputy I was assisting gave them a good chewing out. Satisfying.
