‘Other Desert Cities’ gripping, thoughtful
Kevin Heath and the Limelight Actors Theater continually bring well done, enjoyable theater to Gilroy. “Other Desert Cities” is a comedy-drama and not an easy piece to deliver, yet Heath and his company of top Limelight alumni actors bring in a first-class production.
First, Safety
Road ID is the company that makes ID tags especially for athletes--cyclists, triathletes, runners. When we are out on the roads, or trails, we are quite vulnerable. Accidents happen, medical conditions arise, and there you are miles from home. If something happens--you have been hit or you have passed out. Nobody is going to know who you are, where you live, or who to call. You are wearing shorts and a shirt--there's no place to stash your wallet and nobody wants to rip their ID from that wallet, transfer it to a shorts pocket, and then have to remember to put it back in your wallet after the run. It can be a problem.

As of last month we have a brand new addition to the family. He's 22-inches long, approximately 10 pounds, and very active, especially at night.
Getting Out: Mukuntuweap or Zion
Would you rather visit Mukuntuweap National Monument or Zion National Monument? In fact, they are the same place. As I researched the origin of the name of Zion National Park (originally a National Monument), I was certain I would find a story related to the history of Mormon settlement in southern Utah. To my surprise, in 1918, the acting director of the National Park Service changed the name from Mukuntuweap to Zion simply for marketing reasons. He felt that the Zion National Park name would draw more visitors.
