Interstate 15 south from Salt Lake City to St. George always looks familiar to a native Utahn like me. What was less familiar this weekend as I drove south to attend Utah’s inauguration ceremony was the digital highway signs that read: “Thank you Gov Herbert. Safe travels.”

I passed one sign, then another. By the third sign I was moved to tweet from my phone (my husband was driving): “We honor your service #GovHerbert.”
