Helpful hints

This is a re post of an earlier helpful hint but still very relevant. Look for spares Have you ever run out of toilet paper after office hours and wished that you knew where to find more? Look no further than under your bathroom sink. Here you will find spare toilet paper, towels, small trash bags, and even soap. Spare kitchen trash bags paper towels, dishwasher detergent and dish soap can be found under the kitchen sink and spare pillows, sheets and blankets can be found in either the bedroom or hallway closets.

Fishing

For anyone who likes to fish here is the latest report from Utah division of wildlife resources: Anglers report fairly good fishing at night for crappie and perch. The fish have been found in about 40 to 60 feet of water and are biting on green, pink or orange glow-in-the-dark jigs, tipped with a piece of night crawler. The bites are very light and are easy to miss. There is about 2 feet of open water around the edges, but the ice itself is still pretty thick for now. Use caution when venturing out especially on warmer days.
