Gee thanks, guys
To honor retired Democratic state Sen. Mike Dmitrich, the Republican-controlled Legislature will name U.S. Highway 6 — Utah's most dangerous stretch of black top — after him. Senate bill 66 (why not go all the way and call it SB 666?) will dub the corkscrewing highway that makes its way through Mike's old district the "Mike Dmitrich Death-Dealing Highway."
Dmitrich served in the Lege four decades and returned today to be present to bestow his name on the state's fatal-bahn.
Via con Dios Mike, hope you make it back to Price alive.
UPDATE: I ran into Dmitrich in the Rotunda and asked him about the "honor."
My daughter said the same thing, 'Why do you want that highway named after you? That's where all your friends died.'
But we've really improved that road—saved a lot of lives.

Ahh don't be such a sore loser, there Glen?, I hear your pal Ross Becker is going to name the stretch of 300 West in front of the old Sun Tavern in your Honor! That's right....Fudge Packer Parkway!
There used to be a highway 666 out in SouthEast Utah somewhere. They changed the name because the signs kept being stolen.
Remember when Highway 69 in Harper Ward (outside of Brigham City) became Highway 38 for the same reason?
