Between that and him worring about the large boulders lingering above the back yard, it kina makes me wonder.

That was my first thought. She even had to call 911 herself. Maybe he works a night shift?

She is expected to make a full recovery...


Maybe he should've had a second boulder standing by.

"When Scot Denhalter moved into a new St. George rental home last month, he told his wife, Wanda, that he was a little worried about the boulder-laden red rock ridge hovering above the backyard."

So........ Why did they buy that house?

I got sick and tired of living in shitty locations, so about 10 years ago when I bought a house I thoroughly researched the area - airport traffic patterns, flood zones, proposed highway extensions, etc. Found a nice, quiet safe area.

But there was a dirt road half-a-mile away that I never checked. What could be there?

One day I went down the road to look - it led to dynamite factory.
