Last Tuesday, Emma came to me and mentioned that the Mythbusters are coming to Salt Lake City to perform a live show.  I immediately started to freak out because this was new information to me.  How had I missed this information?  Why did I not have tickets?  What do I need to do to get tickets?  I jumped on the internet and started searching for the answers to these questions and quickly discovered that the show was sold out....

I just came across this video and thought that it needed to be shared.  Fans of Calvin and Hobbes will recognize the snowmen and probably see this for the awesome piece of art that it is.  I should also add that I’ve always wanted to do this in my yard.  Unfortunately, even living in Utah, I’ve never had enough snow to actually pull it...
