Salt Lake City

So, way back in 1991 (awesome palindrome) i was laid off from Taylor Made Golf. One of those ‘oh shit’ moments, i know. Live and learn, i guess. So, my brother Bryan’s all set to go on a mission for God, and my sister Brenda’s extricating herself and son from a ‘stressful situation’. My nephew (who today is serving his own Mission For God) is only a cookie-cruncher, and i got nowhere else to go. i made a go of it in Utah. i was twenty-six at the time, just caished a four-oh-one-kay. Single. On my own mission, as it were.

So here i am, and barring a natural calamity or economical upheaval, here i remain. i was taken aback by the splendor of the place, and a little in awe of the history here. i’ve come to grips with the ‘in awe’ part of it (i’ve seen some awesome parts of the world since) but i feel this corner of the world holds plenty of splendor. Too bad so many Californian’s come and go, and hold no regard for this part of America.
Within an hour and half, i can be in four of the seven temparate zones found here on Earth. And, depending on the season, maybe the conditions found in six! My point is, there is such a varied and differant, well, topography here that if you can’t appreciate Utah, then you really belong in the Matrix. i guess, even though i could survive in a tent with an internet connection, i could not bring myself to live anywhere else right now.
