UPC Scanning and Gas Pumps The Utah Department of Agriculture Weights and Measures Project has produced UPC Scanning Reports and Gasoline Pump Accuracy reports for much of Utah, but the information is not on their website. Today the Deseret News published its own database containing this information. Thanks again to Dave Fletcher's seemingly all-encompassing blog for tracking this down.

Lawmakers want to abolish Satanic Highway Highway 666 which runs from New Mexico into Utah, has become the focus of the New Mexico legislature. They want to change the number. The sinuous highway has more than its share of traffic accidents, and is known in some circles as the "Highway to Hell." Of course all this stems from verses in the Biblical book of Revelation. The highway was assigned the number in the 1920s. Apparently Colorado and Utah have joined in the request to change the number.
