Tackle him...kill him...hes making the break! They shout excitedly. As Im on my final breath, I grasp the base of the TV and drag myself up, entirely block-ingth- e view of the game. I need your help, I whisper. Mom, quit being so dramatic, lectures oldest son. I told you that Id do the dishes after the game. Can you move a little to the right? Youre blocking the sure-to-be-blue-li-ps, punt. The climax of the dream is I drop dead on the floor, and am later used as a coffee table for holding chips and dip.

None other than Vince Lombardi...and he makes me wait to get processed, because hes watching the Packers, too!

If you have a really sophisticated TV, you can watch several games at once. That brings us to Saturday, which of course is when the college games are played. Yes, I think we could say that my whole family spends way too much time watching, reading and talking about football. And their dad is the worst of the bunch.

In Kanab, going to yard sales is a social event for many of us. But the signs directing us to the proper address often pose a problem. They tear loose from the poles and posts where they are attached and the wind blows them into streets, yards, & vacant lots, and they become a serious litter problem. We ask you to please remove your signs within 48 hours after your sale. We need to have enough pride in our community to control litter. Taking down your yard sale signs would help make Kanab a cleaner place to live. If CellularONE Was In Stereo They Would Be Perfect!
