Dustin ❤️ Julia painted in BIG letters on the side of a train car

Dustin ❤️ Julia painted in BIG letters on the side of a train car

This train car with its amazing graffiti sparked my imagination today as my dog and I roamed the Weber River Parkway. I wondered who Dustin and Julia are and why they decided to express their love this way.

My mind began to spin a fictional tale about the pair. Help me out with your ideas!

Utah lawyer among citizens DHS directed to self deport  • Utah News Dispatch Utah attorney Carlos Trujillo is one of several U.S. citizens who received what appears to be a mass email telling them to self deport.

“It is time for you to leave the United States,” reads the email from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It ends with a promise: “The federal government will find you.”
