places weve been, places to go

Now here was a conversation we had today. Amongst the apollo 11 lunar landing, and the gov. Bangerter watering of the desert via million dollar pumps. Swedish transplanted tree's... what they won't think of next. and it only cost... a million. The major complaint of course being that of no restrooms, parking lot, on or off ramps. I reckon its all for the best as that would have required 1.2 to 1.6 million instead of the initial miniscule million. That's after all just crazy money. leave that to the state to maintain (*or water with Bangerters pumps.) its all good. Most people just use the tree as the typical watering relief spot, as witnessed by the yellowing cement base (or perhaps its packs of wild dingo's who live in the desert and territorially mark the tree to keep the wild um.. sharks away.. I always wanted it to have much bigger balls. (on top) and more of them.. (a bit sparse for my liking) with squirrels and chipmunks running about. Course, if those are leaves on the ground, I'd hate to see the squirrels. A site to be certain. so I figure in the next few months, when opportunity presents itself, we'll load up the kids and fly/drive to this obscure spot in the desert between magna, and wendover, to pay homage to a tree whose memorably buried its roots betwixt Tooele, Stalin, The Shah of Iran, and the swedish mind of a guy named Momen.
