I love living in Utah. I loved raising my children here. It is a spectacular place with mountains to ski in, lakes to boat and swim it, the amazing Great Salt Lake, the Bonneville Salt Flats, Arches National Park, Zions National Park, a rich history of pioneer endurance and settlement, Park City Resort (my mom Sally was raised there), the Sundance Film Festival, home of the 2002 Winter Olympics, beautiful deserts, the Shakespearean Festival, world renowned Universities and hospitals, wonderful people, and soooo much more.
This is also a place of funny quirks and idiosyncracies (sp?), and Jeff Foxworthy has pointed out some hilarious insights about us "Utahns". If you live here, have lived here, vacationed here, driven through here, or possibly even flown over Utah, you will most definitely understand and laugh about the following...
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Utah
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed the wrong number, you live in Utah.
If 'vacation' means going anywhere south of Salt Lake City for the weekend, you live in Utah.
If you measure distance in hours, you live in Utah.
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Utah.
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' and back again in the same day, you live in Utah.
If you install security lights on your house and garage but leave both unlocked, you live in Utah.
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Utah.
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in Utah.
If the speed limit on the highway is 75 mph -- you're going 80, and everyone is still passing you, you live in Utah.
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in Utah.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, you live in Utah.
If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly' you live in Utah.
If you actually understand these jokes and forward them to all your friends, you live in Utah.
