I'm in Utah with the Bean until Sunday. Dim is with his uncle and cousin fishing about an hour outside of Salt Lake.
It was the longest drive EVER to get here. Traveling with a baby and a pregnant woman pretty much guarantees travel delays.
We stopped in Provo to get some dinner at a restaurant that had been advertising on billboards for about 200 miles. It promised good food at reasonable prices. Whatever. I wanted a toilet and a diet pepsi.
The food was, well, caucasian. I have never seen an entire menu so devotedly dedicated to the Whitey Mormon Tongue. Everything was pot roast and potatoes and meatloaf and chicken fingers. The most exotic thing on the menu was a Mediterranean salad: from the description, the only think that made it Mediterranean was the presence of black olives. Seriously.
I have been craving milk lately, which is kind of a pain because I don't really like milk. I went to the store to buy some Nestle Quick to make the stuff more palatable, and I realized that Utah grocery stores sell only GIANT canisters of any product related to children's interest. It's a bit spooky.
In any case, I'm enjoying my time here, and expect to be back Sunday night.
