Shot this from point of the mountain. Absolutely worth the drive if you can, pictures don’t do it justice.

Bike Utah is offering free bike rack installation for local businesses. Some businesses also qualify to get the rack for free. This is great to see. Bike infrastructure is improving throughout Salt Lake and Utah valley, but most businesses still don’t have anywhere to park a bike. We need destination infrastructure if we’re going to get more people biking, which benefits everyone.

The announcement says: Email Jacob at [email protected] to get your FREE bike rack proposal, or suggest an establishment that might benefit from bike racks!

IANAL, but reading the court's decision, I think dismissal on 11th amendment grounds is a case study for why states are creating laws that allow for private liability -- the "vigilante enforcement" approach. It gives states the ability to create unconstitutional laws without consequence.

But wildfire risks are growing with triple-digit temperatures forecast this weekend — up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 Celsius) in Phoenix, where a shortage of professional-grade fireworks prompted cancellations last year but red-white-and-blue bursts resume this Independence Day.

In Utah, Salt Lake City for the first time is replacing fireworks with a drone show. Fireworks are still planned in most suburbs and neighboring towns.

A laser light show replaces conventional explosions again in Flagstaff, Arizona. And at Lake Tahoe straddling the California-Nevada line, communities on the north shore will celebrate with a drone show they implemented last Fourth of July due to lingering drought and wildfire risks....
