Yup. Truthfully, thats where my Fiance is from. Most of her family is there, and neither one of us wants to raise a family in CA. So that sort of narrows down the where and why, doesn't it.

(edit: and no i'm not mormon, so this will be interesting. lol )

Wait for it....

Nothing wrong with provo. It is a great place for a family though. But if you like to party, you're moving to the wrong place. What brings you to provo?

oh, and look out for the traffic from UT valley to SL valley.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. When it is greener it is often also filled with manure hence the nice shade of green.

I think CA is the last place I would want to live. No wait, AK would be the last. The cold would kill me plus I would have to watch the pesky Russians from my front porch.

In Soviet Alaska, the Russians watch you.

Guy I know has a Ferrari out there. No holes for a front plate, so he puts his front plate on the dash panel. He got a ticket for it. It was his first ticket ever - he's 67.

I asked people for their opinion on it - and they asked why he didn't drill holes...

They don't understand anyone that is different from them, and I hate that. Who in their GOD DAMN MIND would DRILL holes in a car that's bumper ALONE would cost you over $20,000!

I lived in Southern California for over 40 years. After my parents died I ended up moving to Missouri since I have relatives there. Talk about culture shock.

Nice one Ducimus, now some lovely pics of your new town in the peoples republic of canaffordya.

Yuppers. We're about 95% unpacked. I think all thats left is her office, and the usual pictures and such to hang on the walls.

That looks like Provo, Utah.

I use to travel the U.S.A. doing flooring.
I've been to nearly every State.
And my memory for Land marks is very good.

I could drive to Texas and end up at Neal's house.
But don't ask me how to get there.
I have to see things.

I spent three years at the best kept secret of the whole Air Force. Hill AFB, UT.

Nice place to live. Friendly people. Beautiful countryside.

It would not suck if I found myself back there.

Utah was the first place I ever saw Thunder and Lighting during a snow storm. Most interesting.
