Since we are well into National Surveyors Week, observed from March 17-23, I thought it might be interesting to look at the exploits of a few of our county’s oldest historical surveyors. Capt. Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville, of Fort Bonneville fame, is usually not thought of as a surveyor. Bonneville was in the area in the early 1830s, ostensibly to do some hunting and trapping, but there is evidence that the War Department (U.S. Army) had actually sent Bonneville to the Rocky Mountains to document the native situation and to do some mapping. It is that mapping that we are interested in, particularly his journal entries regarding an area in the Wind River Mountains.

Attention Walmart shoppers! This is a disclaimer of sorts, as I plunder into the degradation of entering these wretched stores of disgust. I am not judging or condemning anyone that may lower their standards enough to enter these stores of ill repute.

We have known Jason Ray since he was a teenager and have never seen negative of any kind. He has always been kind, considerate, intelligent and honest, with a strong work ethic.
I hope the powers that be can find a way to retain him in the system as his departure would be a great loss. Some accommodation with restrictions and a probationary retention should be possible and in the best interests of all concerned.
Health care is quite obviously a business. Here’s two stories in three days.
In this 2024 Budget Session, out of 221 bills and 8 joint resolutions filed in the House, the second most in Budget Session history, 90 House bills and 4 resolutions died due to time constraints today, on Friday the 16th. Which is to say that 135 pieces of legislation were voted on during the introduction process. For comparison, during the previous Budget Session, in 2022, out of 163 pieces of legislation filed in the House, 52 died from the clock running out, and 111 were voted on for introduction. So even though many bills died this year, 24 more pieces of legislation were voted on this session than in the Budget Session of 2022.
