death of democratically-elected Chilean President Salvador Allende, signaling the end of nearly forty years of democratic government in Chile.

Also on this date, 1918, the first victim of the pandemic in Quincy, MA, died.

*The movie, "September Dawn", several years ago, was based on the Mormon Masacre.

1. For those who have never

been to the "Mountain Meadows",do plan on going to that place when visiting Zion or Bryce,just a hand full of miles North of St George on Hwy 18. The utter silence is over whelming. One will leave with a true meaning of life and how a Religious Group stole it from innocent People.

2. Years ago, I was visiting friends in that area, and could not figure out why I felt ill the whole

time. It wasn't until I learned of the massacre some years later that I understood. My friends never mentioned anything about it.

I had the same sensation at Sand Creek.

3. Know the feeling.

Been to the Meadows three or four times. Always took Visitors to that place to experience what we felt. Been to Sand Creek. Similar Vibes. Two other sites are along the Minnesota River in Minnesota,one at Morton and the other at St Peter. Humans are their worst enemies,all in a wrongful Belief of something.

4. I went last year.

5. Good on you.

The last time we visited,a group of Church Officals chase us out as they were examining a rock pile as a possible Burial site. Not so nice people.
