They're Pushing Bugs in Utah
A shocking surprise we discovered during our wonderful trip to Park City
Editor’s Note: This post is a bit of departure from my typical “Peeking Around the Corner.” We were in Park City, Utah where our family owns a vacation home (NOT us, but two of my siblings). Our niece got married there and we went f or the wedding. This post includes photos from the trip, plus some pictures that show how the WEF “eat the bugs” program is spreading.
I haven’t posted, or engaged much at all in comments or on Notes as reception wasn’t great and (the biggest reason) we never even thought about our phones during our drive and while at our destination.
Our trip to Park City was wonderful. How could it not be? The fresh mountain air, nature all around us, a beautiful small town with lots of eclectic shops and eateries.
The View Speaks Volumes
Our niece’s wedding took place on Payday Mountain in Park City. Guests had to ride to the venue via ski lift. It was the first time DS had ever been on a ski lift and he didn’t blink an eye. No idea why I’m making such a strange face in this picture. The boys to my left are two of our four boys (none of the girls were able to attend) and the beautiful girl, squinting in the sun, is our oldest son’s future bride.
Here’s a pic of DS and me right before heading over to the lift to take us to the mountaintop wedding venue. [He wore a blazer and I wore a fur shawl, it’s just not pictured here.]
After the wedding we had to slide (is that the right term?) down the mountain to the reception lodge. Yes, the ladies had to hike up their long formals and ride down on an individual sled that resembles a luge. You can control speed with a lever that is placed in an unfortunate position for those of us wearing dresses.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of the luge-thing (I was terrified, but it all turned out fine).
This is a picture of a beautiful waterfall we came across named Bridal Veil Falls. The photo doesn’t do it justice at all. I just wanted to hang out there all day.
We spent a day strolling around downtown Park City, shopping and stopping for afternoon drinks and snacks.
The day after the wedding, we headed back toward Texas, but rather than driving straight through, we took an extra day to stop in Aspen, Colorado. It’s a beautiful place and we had a great time there. But…
If you enjoy Peeking Around the Corner with me, please consider buying me a $5 coffee. As you know, it’s not really about coffee, it’s about helping me continue on this adventure of self sustainability and food independence. I appreciate YOU!

They Are Pushing Bugs Everywhere — Believe It!
Of course, we had to get through the rest of Utah on our way to Aspen. We were sort of shocked to find bugs for sale — for HUMANS to eat — at a gas station along the way. Check out the photos below:
What a variety we saw there! Black crickets, “Crick-ettes,” and “Larvets.” Just so you know, these “Larvets” as they call them are the very same thing we feed our chickens for treats — mealy worms! We pay about $16 for a pound of mealy worms at our feed store. The store priced these tiny packets at $6. So, not only do the “Powers That Be” want us to eat bugs, they want us to pay exorbitant prices for them. But don’t worry, you can just eat the ants in your garden.
Don’t concern yourself with buying ant poison at your local hardware store. Ants are now food. Didn’t ya know? Just contrive a way to capture the little yummies and then look up a recipe. I’m sure there are plenty of great ways to prepare them.
Finally, there are scorpions (and other vile creatures) embedded in candies. Dessert, yay!
Kids acting up while on a long road trip? Just stop at a gas station along the way and buy them some scorpion suckers. Problem solved!
Resist and Rebel
The war on food — basically a war on humanity — is ramping up. You may not detect signs of it where you live, but it is there. Just this morning a friend of mine sent me a link to this article. The article shows how a group called, “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” aims to cut meat and dairy consumption to ZERO by 2030. Other goals include zero private vehicle ownership and a limit of three new clothing items per person annually by 2030.
One of the 14 cities in the article is Houston — a blue city. We live in The Woodlands area, which is only about 30 minutes north of Houston proper. I am grateful that we’re planning to move to our acreage in Idaho in a year and a half (or so), but I am increasingly anxious and feel we should make the move sooner — much sooner. Things are ramping up quickly.
Resist these C40 goals, even if they aren’t happening in your immediate area. It’s time we really rebel against this encroaching soft totalitarianism. I’m very concerned about those who have almost no food stores and are not or cannot grow anything of their own.
Resist and rebel. It’s the only way at this point.
Hey, that was fabulous. The beauty of the West always makes me weak at the knees and almost homesick.
If the bug thing in the US freaks you out, it may be advisable for you to avert your gaze from Europe entirely. Here the stated plan is to kill all the world's most efficient dairy and beef herds (they'll get to the sheep and pigs next), which enjoy a standard of animal welfare unequalled anywhere on the planet, so that we can all be forced to become vegans. The bugs? Preliminary step. That's just the beating we'll get until morale improves. Militant vegans will then object to the suffering of the gnats. Bugs? A fool's game!! Algae paste. That's where the money will be . . .
(Fun fact: if all dairy cows were British or Irish cows, we'd only need 1/3rd of the world's present dairy cow population to supply all the milk. Mistreated animals do not produce like that. Seriously, animals with low self esteem do not produce that much. Being a dairy cow here is a great career move).
We have made the decision. Time to go. We're selling up and moving to poor isolated rural Italy. With a fair wind within six months. The lifestyle, for people of our age, is certainly attractive. More importantly, we need to provide a refuge / escape plan for our children and grandchildren.
I can't help but think it's all different this time and much much more dangerous. The venial corrupt and ultimately murderous polilticians (of all flavors and descriptions) are pandering to an increasingly malign bunch of citizens who demand more and more totalitarianism and control.
But then again, to steal a joke from a favorite radio priest, I'm wearing my tinfoil hat at a jaunty angle today, so maybe it's that.
I will not comply with any of the bug eating nonsense! No more mandates. And Gluck, there is no way that Houston or any part of Texas will ban meat or gas powered cars. That is now against state law. No city or county can pull any shenanigans ever again.
