Suspicious skies: Is Our Planet Being Inundated with Unknown Substances without Our Consent? 

March 28, 2021 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Weather modification and cloud seeding: is it really that hard to believe? If you think those long white lines left in the wake of passing airplanes scoring the sky from ear-to-ear are noticeably thicker, longer, and remain for a longer duration than they did twenty or thirty years ago, you’re not alone. A growing number of people are looking skyward and wondering: What’s … [Read more...]

Finding a good pediatrician near you is an integral part of your family’s journey

May 15, 2019 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Dedication to a Dream Finding a good pediatrician near you makes all the difference in the world to first-time parents. My family got lucky. I first came across Bexfield by chance almost two years ago. My four-month-old came down with RSV, rhinovirus, and croup all at once. He had a hungry fever verging on 105, and my wife and I had yet to find a pediatrician we … [Read more...]

The Streetcar of Trolley Square, It’s Back!

October 24, 2018 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Over the years, when the streetcar sat quaintly beneath the Trolley Square water tower, it has been home to a number of businesses, including, Trolley Wing Company The historic streetcar’s return is just one component of a three-pronged repositioning of the area, which includes the development of a multifamily complex, renovations to the main property; and an attentive … [Read more...]

10 Signs You are Waaaaaaay too Serious about Climbing

January 29, 2018 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

A few years ago, fresh from a five-month hiatus from climbing in order to write a book of poetry (I know, right?), I had an epiphany that continues to affect me today—and not just any old epiphany, either, but one of those serious, earth-shattering, I-can-still-feel-it-in-my-bones sort of thing. It came on suddenly, so strong I nearly fainted. I was at the climbing gym that … [Read more...]

When Worlds Collide—Climbing Through Parenthood

January 10, 2018 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

One of the few things I feel I can say with a secure declarative is this: Climbers of all abilities are the most dedicated, spiritual, and philosophical athletes in their "sport." I quotate that word because to any climber, the word "sport" undermines the legitimacy of their life because, well, climbing is their life. Climbing transcends such a trivial attribution—it is an … [Read more...]

Turning the Page on “Big Book”

November 15, 2017 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

In the early naughts, myriad wealth reports predicted the eventual extinction of the independent bookshop—Amazon, by this time, had become an ever-present goliath; Barnes & Nobles had hundred of stores, and more were popping up everywhere, seemingly every week. On the surface, the dire prediction made sense; the way things go in our world, it was inevitable. And it stirred … [Read more...]

Is “Certified Organic” Worth the Price?

September 22, 2017 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Okay, so I’ve now placed myself on the Bascule and secured my own neck with the Lunette for you—I’m ready for the slice of your guillotine. Before you pull the blade’s release handle, though, grant an already-condemned writer, guilty of apostasy against the Church of Organic, the reassurance that you will at least ask and consider why it is you buy and defend organic food from … [Read more...]

Through God’s Typewriter

August 18, 2017 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Marie Ogden claimed a direct communiqué with God via divine manipulation through her typewriter. She began touring the country, lecturing, slowly gaining a devout and following congregation, and would eventually establish the little-known pious commune, the Home of Truth, in 1933 … You probably haven’t heard of Marie Ogden. Hell, most of the people living in Monticello, … [Read more...]

Realms of Inquiry: The View From Here

December 12, 2016 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

Realms of Inquiry, a private school in Salt Lake City, Utah, offers students a view past the walls of the classroom by utilizing climbing and nature to prepare them for future success. It is 12:30 in the afternoon on a Monday and I’m waiting at the base of a popular climbing crag up Big Cottonwood Canyon known as The S-curves. For autumn, it’s unseasonably warm. The … [Read more...]

360 Degrees of Rad

December 7, 2016 by Lewi Lewis Leave a Comment

On August 21st, local Utah climbers Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson left their base camp to attempt the unclimbed, staggering 23,000-foot north face of Ogre II in Pakistan. On August 22, their Pakistani cook reported seeing the lambency of their headlamps halfway up the mountain right before a storm blew in… They were never seen again.   A few months ago, only … [Read more...]
