You-Taw.

My lease is almost up and its time to move on to the next chapter of my life. The only question is where I want that chapter to begin. If my best friend had it her way, it would be in Utah. Although, I am definitely leaning towards the east coast or another year in California. But, I figured that before I say no, and because I love her arcave so dearly....
I at least owe it to her to do a little research.....

What I've learned about Utah
  • The average snowfall in the mountains near Salt Lake City is 500 inches.
  • The name Utah comes from the Native American Ute tribe and means people of the mountains.
  • Utah is the only state whose capital's name is made of three words. All three words in Salt Lake City have four letters each.
  • The federal government owns 65% of the state's land. (hmm...sounds like socialism)
  • Utah has the highest literacy rate in the nation.
  • Donny&Marie Osmond along with Roseanne Barr were born in Utah. *giggles*
  • Levan, is "navel" spelled backwards. It is so named because it is in the middle of Utah. (Or so I'm convinced.)
  • Because of the state's inland location Utah's snow is unusually dry. Earning it the reputation of having the world's greatest powder. 14 Alpine ski resorts operate in Utah.  (k, noowwwwww we're talkin)
  • State animal: The Rocky Mountain Elk. (So the state animal is Bullwinkle?...I can roll with that.)
  • The television series "Touched by an Angel" is filmed in Utah.


Your honor, The jury has reached a verdict. In the case of
"Law firm internship vs. Shredding Utah's famous pow errry'day" We the jury find the defendant.....

(to be continued....., tune in next week)
