Woohoo can't wait to get up there.

No, I'm at the other side of the state about 18 miles from the Utah state line. We're closer to Salt Lake than CO Springs (no comment please, lol). I'm afraid to look at any of his cartoons. They'd probablydepress me. We get inundated with right wing political cartoons as it is.

Oh man, you are stuck between a salty rock and a hard place, aren't you!

Salt Lake is quite a town. My daughter and I were on a road trip years ago, when she was a teenager, and we stopped around midnight in Salt Lake City. The front desk clerk was just beside himself about giving us a room, you could see he was sick with disapproval for what he probably thought was a lesbian relationship. He did give us a room in the end, though. Too funny.

Chuck Asay (I mispelled his name before) really is depressing. He is unbelievable, so bad that I quite look forward to reading his cartoon. You might call it the ultimate groaner for the week for me.

Hunter Thompson. Don't think I could handle the 45 and the dobermans--too much like my neighbours. Anyway, he hung out in Pitkin county--income level is far too high up there. I'll stay here in Mesa county where folks are minimum wage, public assistance or both.

He might just share his drugs with you...apparently you can never tell with him. He moved to Pitkin County when it was the poor area. You should read some of his rantings from when the rich people started moving...hilarious.

He still hangs out in the Woody Creek Tavern apparently, but it's a yuppie place now...as much restaurant as bar. That inspired him to set off a smoke/stink bomb in there about a decade ago.

He is on your side though...in his own twisted way.

My Dad and his wife had trouble in Utah a few years ago too, Haggis. My step-mother still uses her maiden name and when they saw her credit card they noticed the names didn't match.

Utah is a tough place to be if you aren't Mormon, that's for sure. The sad thing is, it is easily one of the most beautiful states. If only they'd vacuum out all the people it would be idyllic.

LDS (Mormons) are good people. A bit right wing politically, but not violent about it. Mostly conservatives in my church too, just not as homogenous. Some of the LDS fundamentalist groups are really strange, but their not part of the main church. Their polygomous practices I can't begin to understand. They're mainly in Colorado City, AZ and, to a lesser extent, in Hilldale, UT

Spent some time around Delores, Rico, Cortez and Durango area in the 4 corners region, met some LDS folks, very conservative but not pushy or preachy. A co-worker from St. George, Utah gave my daughter a "Book Of Morman" which reads likes biblical SCI-FI! Their beliefs were a tad extreme for me! We discussed the farther-out groups which lived in the backwoods areas and I was told not to mess around there, they weren't normal and even local law enforcement gave them wide berth! 8O

Most areas of Utah are very much a throwback to an earlier time, like the 50's with kids with crew cuts, girls with dresses, very few blue jeans well, you get the picture! My wife had a flat tire in
Southern Utah and while she was out getting ready to change it, several people drove up and helped out! Freaked out my daughters, they thought sure Freddy the Ax Murderer was going to show up at any moment!

Mormons call Non-Mormans "Gentiles" but I never was treated badly. When a Morman brings up the subject of religious conversion-preaching, just answer, "I am not searching at this time" and that usually is the code word which stops the probing! I'll find the Lord my way, you find him your way and the guy down the street will make peace with whomever he or she believes controls the weather!
