Listened to Books on CD: Part of "Failed States" by Noam Chomsky; Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner; Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.
Toyota Sienna (we're well over 180K miles) needed a jump start in Park City and again at Wilson Arch south of Moab; bought a new battery.
Bought a new Canon camera at Best Buy in Provo after dunking my old Canon in the water below Bridalveil Falls while reflexively fetching my wallet which fell out of my pocket into the water first (no photos lost).
Watched every game of the Giants/Cardinals and Giants/Royals wherever we were.
