The Long and the Short of It

Not feeling very clever, but feeling pretty good. Buying beer in Utah is weird. You can buy regular domestic beers (with less alcohol content than they have in other states) OR you can buy imported beers at the state liquor stores. At those stores, they don't price six or 12 packs, but you can mix and match your own and each beer is priced differently. They only sell beers 5% and higher. I got some pretty exciting new kinds.

Working in the field starts tomorrow. I made the drive down to St. George yesterday. It went from snowy mountains, to endless highway, to golden rolling parries, to more snowy mountains, to expansive canyons and hills made of beautiful red rock. It was a 6+ hour drive, but it was as amazing as I heard it would be. Nowhere else can you find such drastic changes in landscape than you do in Utah. If you can, then I want to know about it.

Major music selections on the way down - Cartel, Cute is What We Aim For, Drake, Saves the Day, Angels and Airwaves...complete works for most of those. I have 122 Saves the Day songs, so it's a pretty safe bet to think I didn't listen to all of those. I know Justin Creeden would. He would do anything.

Not sure if I like this new blog template. It looked cool at first, but I'm not sure about it anymore. I wish I was creative enough to make my own.

Things to look forward to: first day of real work tomorrow (chainsawing?!), Dixie National Park (and others in the area), doing more mountain biking like I did today (which was unreal). We're living in this condo complex right at the edge of the city. Our back yard is an endless landscape of dirt and red rock. There are hiking paths and unpaved roads for motor vehicles spread across the land for miles. No end in sight. I'm looking forward to some sunsets. Do Any friends want to come visit before Jan 30th?
