please and thank you!!

Just need to vent a little.... Zion National Park is one place. There are no plural Zion National Parks nor is Zion possessing anything so therefore there is no s on the end of Zion. It drives me absolutely crazy that so many Utahns call it Zion's! I admit I use to because I didn't know any better but after a ranger I worked with got after me for calling it Zion's, I realized how awful it is to call Zion that and it has become a huge pet peeve. So please, don't call it Zion's anymore!! Thank you.

uh oh

I have never liked pop all that much. Occasionally I like sprite and will sometimes crave it but I have never cared for any coke, pepsi, doctor pepper or mountain dew.... I don't really like the taste. I prefer water or lemonade. Well, a few days ago while at my friend's house he convinced me to taste his Mountain Dew- lime flavor.... one tiny sip and I am hooked. At work yesterday I started craving it, so on my lunch I drove to the gas station and searched for it but there was no green mountain dew. So I settled for the blue mountain dew which is a rasberry with ginseng flavor. It was good. I drank it throughout the day ignoring the possibility of it hurting my stomach (it hurt but not too bad.) Today, while in Aurora my mom mentioned she had a red mountain dew in the fridge that I could have and sure enough I like it too. I sure hope this isn't the start of a horrible addiction.........
