Southern Utah is also quite the place to see.

What's it like there?

Most rocks are plain and dull. For some reason, I find that matched with the vegetation found in southern Utah, these rocks stand out and tell a great geological tale. Check out photos of Arches National Park and see what I mean.

Zion and Bryce Canyon feature magnificent and majestic rocks.

I love the red colored rocks

Bryce Canyon is one of my favorite national parks in the united states

It's quite the regular place to be. Never fear, you're safe with me.

Oh I remember seeing pictures of those rocks in some of my books from school. Very cool!

I have been to Bryce Canyon twice so far and I plan to go many times more in the future

I plan on visiting there next month. Gonna take in all the sites. Kanab. Moab. Bryce Canyon. Zion. Arches. I might even hit Lake Powell.

That sounds like quite an adventure!

The little fishies love me.

Cholera is common in undeveloped countries due to lack of sanitation near water sources. Think sewar water.

The last time I vacated an apartment I retained the services of a hired gun. That's right. I called U-Haul and hired a mover. He was worth every dime. As a matter of fact, I paid him more than what was charged.

Yeah, moving is nerve racking.

when I first read that, I was confused what a hired gun was. Is a gun a mover?

It's an Old West term. You know.

okay, if you say so

Nice avi salvete!

Only problem is, I'm pretty broke so no money for movers. ^^;

hired gun (hīrd)

2. One hired to fight for or protect another.
3. One with special knowledge or expertise, as in business, law, or government, who is hired to resolve particularly difficult or complex problems.

Hope this helps.

Examples in a sentence:

A successful smear campaign spearheaded by international outlaw Mr. Wrong has caused many business executives and the hired guns they pay to polish their images.

Mr. Wrong's poor attitude and lack of organizational skills were the catalyst for him using a hired gun the last time he moved out of that roach motel mistakenly referred to as an apartment.

The late Sen. Sathington Alowishus Abercrombie Willoughby (R-NC) was well-known for his use of hired guns in gathering dirt on his opponents and giving false testimony in Congressional budget hearings.

Rather than doing her own investigating, the prosecutor relied heavily on the use of hired guns to give expert testimony during the recent high-profile murder case.

A ruling by MLB commissioners today, based on findings by their hired gun medical doctors, concluded that growth-enhancing steroids could be used as a tea sweetener and coffee creamer. This ruling comes just days after commissioners already approved the once controlled substance for use as a "flavor enhancer" for any and all sports and energy drinks. An announcement is expected later this week which will name the People's Republic of China's laboratory chosen for genetically altering current players and "growing" future generations of baseball greats.

thank you mr. wrong for the definition and the examples

I think I personally would avoid using the word gun as much as possible so while I will understand the definition when other people use it in a sentence, I might not personally use the phrase

So...tired... X_X
