Ok guys, I called Tim Utah, the President of Utah and explained the whole alcohol thing. Big misunderstanding, apparently. He had no idea. Anyway, all set, glad to help.

Beautiful. My biggest regret working at the old main library was never trying to break into the tunnel access in the sub-basement.

I live outside of Kanab. My property backs up to commie public land so I have a functionally infinite back yard full of zion-ish canyons ... it owns.

People give Utah a lot of poo poo for being dumb racist hicks, but grew up in Appalachian PA within two hours of Philly and New York and I swear to christ people were a lot more racist and twice as stupid there.

Not giving Utah a pass though. They're pretty stupid here. I was the only guy in the hardware store wearing a mask the other day. Getting wierd looks from old guys who have a good chance of croaking from the rona.

Been here 15 years and I still feel like an away team redshirt. Growing up on the east coast I might as well be living on mars. It's amazing. I was always sort of anti-social so the change fit like a glove.

Rural Utah does indeed have some insane motherfuckers, but they're indistinguishable from and most of the time less terrifying than the insane motherfuckers I knew in rural PA. (I think the space helps)

I've visited Utah somewhere around ten times so far, just doing the hiking bum thing and sleeping in my car. The landscapes always blow me away, nothing else like them anywhere.

Realized at some point that the reason they were so evocative to me was the similarity to some of the alien landscapes painted in Calvin and Hobbes that I read growing up. And then I got one of the anniversary editions where Bill Watterson said that his inspiration was the southwest, and a big lightbulb went off.

I remember reading somewhere that there's a simulated Mars habitat in southern Utah (or was just planned maybe?)

Yup, near Hanksville iirc. Which is itself near Goblin Valley state park, as seen in Galaxy Quest. (The movie's production was enough to pay to get paved roads to that park, actually.)

The tourism push by the state has changed things quite a bit here. (the mighty 5!!!) Lots of new hotels in town. Lots of 4x4's with magnetic stickers selling tours. I was contemplating getting in on the off-road tours thing before the Rona hit, people were charging 200 bux a seat to go to places I go for fun. and I completely understand why... Like The Rat said, it's as close to exploring a beautiful alien world as most of us will get stuck here on earth.

Plus side is that racist morons are quieter. Downside is half of California decides to escape the rona here and brings it with.

But the state is growing like crazy, my city had a population of 20k when I moved in 2011, 35k by 2018, I don't know for 2020 but i'm seeing way more subdivisions popping up all over the place. I wouldn't be shocked if it is 45k by now.

Pretty sure sex without the intention of conception is a sin against Joseph Smith himself and results in instant disintegration by Space Jesus, so naturally Mormon dudes have no idea how to do it right.

lol, where do you actually draw the line? every religion even loosely based on Judaism is actually a cult.

The Hebrews actually borrowed a lot from their Egyptian 'employers' if you really want to get technical.

To get back on track, Utah has some of the best hiking trails in the country.
