Homesick

Sometimes I become homesick, or just Utahsick.
Like when NOT NOW!

 

Sunny in the valley, no precipitation, but there were looming storm clouds to the North. As we approached Brighton, we ran into the snow. A blizzard of large flakes welcomed our arrival! We believe they may have closed down the road behind us for a while, because for the first ~ two hours there were not any other people arriving at the mountain which was odd. However, the first hour was spent on one run because Greg decided to venture off the trail and then had to take a 30 minute hike from the lake where he ended up, back to the trail. It snowed 12-14" of fresh powder while we were there!! Excellent for blasting down the steep slopes and a FUN FUN FUN day with Greg! Ski trips with Greg always have their memories = )

And finally, some words from the wise

Game Day

This is where I am right now. What am I doing? Sleeping on cement in a tent.  It’s cold and dark most of the day, but we want front row seats to the basketball game. Why? I’m a college kid and college kids are crazy. I have yet to stay overnight for a game so I thought it would be fun and what better game to camp for than against Gonzaga #2 in the nation. We set up Tuesday night and almost 48 hours later the game is about to begin!

Until Thursday I had only had a few run-ins with the cops. Most of them were alright, a few of them were rude encounters. Thursday was my first time being pulled over. I was on my way to Logan to visit my brother, a trip I've taken many times, and one canyon in particular he told me to take at 60 mph where the speed limit was 60. I was going 58 mph on a downhill stretch and being passed by two cars going ~5-10 mph faster. I was in the right lane and not even going 60 because I knew I could get pulled over for 61 mph. On came the lights from the cop car. I pulled over to let him pass and he came up behind me, wasted my time, yadda yadda. "Do you know what the speed limit is?" "60" "I clocked you at 74. That's speeding." Since I haven't been pulled over before I didn't know my place to tell him he was wrong, so I just sat through all his crap about how he was going to be nice and write me a ticket for only going 10 over. He was about 70 years old and it was 9:00 p.m. I'm surprised he could drive. When I pulled into Logan my brother told me he had a ticket a little earlier for "74 in a 60" (same place) and he was driving at 63.
Is this considered armed robbery?
From this stupid $90 gesture of one policeman I have gone from impartial on the subject of hating/liking cops to thinking they are ridiculous. This is a bit extreme, but so is pulling someone over who is going 2 mph under the speed limit and telling them they're going 16 mph faster than they were while cars were passing them.
All respect you ever owned has been lost.
