Hello, I have 2 art projects I would like to make that require empty cigarette boxes. As a former smoker, I know if I go buy the cigarettes I’m going to smoke them and I’d prefer not to have to quit all over again. So if any smokers in the area would be willing to give me your empty boxes that would be very helpful. I’m looking for a variety of brands and types so whatever you’ve got would be great. Thanks.

The official US Residence in Samoa has a roof shaped like waves. In rainy season, water pours off the divots like waterfalls. It’s beautiful but not practical. The water tank was not placed under any of those divots to naturally collect water. It was placed on a hill and connected to Apia’s water supply.

When I lived in that home as the former spouse of the Charge d’Affaires, Cyclone Evan ravaged the island, destroying Apia’s water infrastructure. We went without water for almost a month. We’d place oversized trash bins under the divots to collect the water and wash laundry by hand and flush toilets with manual water replacement.

Now, years later in Utah, lakes are shrinking while Beaver is flooding. And I have the same question that I had then? Is there a way to create systems that could capture the water that is flooding the area and redirect it to systems where it can be usable? Could individual homes collect rain and snow water for use during dry summer months? Are there outside-the-box solutions that we haven’t considered?

I’m just brainstorming for now; no wrong answers. Any engineers out there want to weigh in? We need ingenuity and creative problem solvers coming together to orchestrate unique solutions to our growing water problems.

Gail Miller donated $10 million

Crystal Maggelet (owns Maverik Gas Stations and one of the oil refineries in NSL donated $10 million).

Marriott family also donated $10 million.

Governor Spencer Cox has set a goal to get the Great Salt Lake to a healthy level by 2034. Utah political leaders have spent roughly $1 billion and pushed numerous pieces of legislation aimed at helping the lake and promoting water conservation. The lake has declined dramatically, impacted by water diversions, drought and changes to our climate. It presents an ecological crisis for the state with reduced snowpack that provides a lot of drinking water for Utahns, dust storms that push toxic chemicals into communities (arsenic is among the naturally-occurring minerals in the lake bed) from an exposed playa, and impacts to public health and wildlife.

Drew Maggelet called on other businesses across Utah to step up and get more involved in lake rescue efforts. Crystal Maggelet said Maverik may also implement steps to save water at their stores.

"There’s not one individual in the state that can’t think about water conservation. No matter what your economic means are, you can conserve water," she said. "You can water your grass less, you can wash your car less. That’s really fundamentally what everyone can do."

Hawkes said Great Salt Lake Rising is working to secure other private donations for lake restoration efforts. But he called on everyone to help the lake.

"It's so important for us to just step up and not say what can somebody else do save the lake? But say what can I do to save the lake? Individually do. How can I contribute and make a difference?" he said. "If everybody did that? We'd be a lot further along in this process."

If the Great Salt Lake dries up and arsenic is released into the air, the value of these Davis County million dollar homes will drop to zero. The Wasatch front is home to approximately 3 million people many of whom could be forced to relocate.

Yet legislators continue to sell water rights to the highest bidder. Another data center has been proposed in Tooele using the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA), a group created by the legislature.

Read how to get involved in stopping the data center here: https://www.uphe.org/2026/06/16/help-stop-another-data-center-proposal-tooele/

And, learn which legislators voted against your say in water rights here:

HOUSE: https://le.utah.gov/DynaBill/svotes.jsp?sessionid=2026GS&voteid=155&house=H

SENATE: https://le.utah.gov/DynaBill/svotes.jsp?sessionid=2026GS&voteid=756&house=S

👆 HB 60 just passed this year. It narrowed the definition of “public welfare” and limited who can file protests or challenges to water rights disputes.

On July 31, there will be a family friendly, non-competitive bike ride out at Antelope Island.

This year the theme is Disco After Dark! Costumes and bike decorations are not required but are encouraged! Registration is required. We'll see you on the island!

I would like to start a Postcrossing group/meetup event in my area. I want to see who's interested and get people involved! Anybody want to join? Depending on interest I will create an official meetup date and time, likely Kaysville area but I'm open to other areas if there are more interested people elsewhere.

Living out west, it was nice to see so many people took the bans pretty serious and very few were out there lighting fireworks in our neighborhood.

Hey everyone, I posted a few days ago about a super easy part-time gig over at the auto auction in Woods Cross. They are pretty much always looking for reliable people to join the crew, so I figured I’d share the details again in case anyone missed it or is looking for some extra cash.

It’s honestly as low-stress as it gets. You just drive cars around the lot to move and organize them on Wednesday mornings, and you're usually done by lunchtime. No highway driving, no traffic, and no wear on your own car.

It pays $16/hr, and they pay every Friday. It’s been a really popular gig for retirees, students, or just anyone who wants a steady once-a-week morning shift. You just need a valid driver's license and a clean driving record.

If you're interested or want me to pass along the application link, just shoot me a DM so I don't clutter up the sub with links. Thanks! 🚗

With the primaries over, it is time to further the growing coalition of my campaign. While I was hopeful for a different outcome in the HD14 Republican primary, I want to sincerely thank Kara Toone for stepping up, running, and leading a fair, thoughtful, and issues-focused campaign. It takes courage to put yourself out there and serve your community in this way, and she should be proud of the race she ran.

For those who supported and voted for Toone, please join and support me in the general election!

Apparently this is a big reason why they're expanding Legacy at the moment to help ease next year. All I know is, it better be better than the mess they made in Roy.

My son is 16 and is looking for his first-ever job for the summer. He doesn’t have a car, and so he’s looking for places he can bike or take the UTA bus to.

He’s open to anything. He’s tried applying for some McDonald’s and other fast food. The McDonald’s websites said the ones close to us aren’t hiring, but we are going to call and double-check.

He is also a brilliant kid. He’s dual-enrolled in Weber State. He got a 35 on his ACT when he took it in the fall at 15 years old. He’s self-teaching himself programming, etc., and I’ve heard it’s pretty hard to make any money tutoring, but maybe if there is someone looking for help, his skill set there would be helpful? He’s really gifted in math.

He is open to about anything, but due to his class load, he wants just seasonal work, and that combined with never having a job is turning out to be difficult.

Does anyone know of a place hiring near like the Syracuse Smiths (1000w and Antelope) or anything near a UTA bus stop?

Or any suggestions on how to find seasonal work? He’s been checking LinkedIn, Indeed, Dice, etc., and he is desperate to work but struggling just like we are. My husband got laid off ages ago, and he’s a senior software developer, and we are trying to find a job too.

I thought I’d toss something out here just to check.

Thank you

FYI for anyone voting in the Davis County Republican primary and trying to understand where candidates stand on the Box Elder data center.

I was looking through my ballot and wanted to share what I found. Not telling anyone how to vote, just putting the info in one place since this project has been a big topic lately.

From what I found:

U.S. House District 2
Blake Moore - appears to support the project, but with conditions around protecting water resources and keeping stakeholders involved. https://www.deseret.com/politics/2026/06/01/cd2-republican-primary-debate/

Karianne Lisonbee - said she is “not supportive at this point” and said there are too many unanswered questions. https://www.deseret.com/politics/2026/06/01/cd2-republican-primary-debate/

State Senate District 7
Stuart Adams - chaired the MIDA board while MIDA helped advance/approve the Stratos Project Area in Box Elder County. After public pushback, he later called on Kevin O’Leary to reduce the project footprint by 75% and add more environmental and transparency requirements.

Braden Hess - I did not find a direct “I support Stratos” statement, but he criticized Adams’ letter and said government should not inhibit private businesses.
https://www.ksl.com/article/51505220/utah-senate-president-calls-for-drastic-reduction-to-box-elder-county-data-center

Stephanie Hollist — appears opposed to the current process and said the approval process should be paused until more studies are done
https://www.ksl.com/article/51505220/utah-senate-president-calls-for-drastic-reduction-to-box-elder-county-data-center

Again, just sharing as an FYI. Feel free to correct me if I made a mistake or if anyone has other sources or direct statements from the candidates, please share them. I think it’s helpful for voters to know where everyone stands before ballots are due.

Hello my [edited for autocorrect] reddit community! I am getting a new puppy next week and I need to recommendations for a good vet veterinarian. Well, I am googling reviews, etc. I would love to get thoughts from real people on who they take fur babies to. I would also truly appreciate any thoughts on the pet insurance and whether you had good experiences, bad experiences.

Thank you all so much. I appreciate all the anticipated feedback!
