Old Alarm
I WAS AMUSED to read of your fascination with the Shake Awake alarm clock [It Came in the Mail, July 3]. It was originally designed as a traveling alarm clock for the deaf. I've had one since my senior year of high school, when my parents bought it as a gift when I went on a trip. It can be purchased through many supply outlets for the deaf, such as SoundBytes.com.
I've also found that mobile phones set to vibrate can serve as alarms in the event I forget my clock. They usually have to be clipped to one's PJs, though, and thus greatly increase potential odd bruising from rolling over on one's phone.
Thanks for the story. It is always funny to me when hearing people discover the secrets of the deaf!

Zion Eats
THE ARTICLE on Zion National Park ["Park It . . . Then Park It," July 3] mentioned the Bit and Spur as a good place to eat. A better restaurant is the Switchback, right across the street. A first-class restaurant in a small town.
