Lovely. Love living in the high desert as it gets rapidly more arid and the Salt Lake dries up, exposing us to dangerous heavy metals in the dust from the lakebed

Sometimes you send send off a report and think, "well, they're gonna hate that."

One of the only beliefs that unites the people of Utah is that it's "Utahn" not "Utahan" and we will mock you if you use the latter

Someone at Hyrum City in Utah took away the wrong message from Footloose (1984).
"Can't you save us, [Kevin Bacon]? Can we be saved?"
Photo of a printed handout, black text on white paper. The paper is creased in a way that indicates it has been folded and then unfolded. At the top of the document is the logo of Hyrum City, Utah: a black silhouette of an elk against a conifer, adjacent to large text "Hyrum City" The visible text below lists general building rental user rules for the Hyrum City Civic Center, which are largely generic with the exception of rule #5, which reads: "NO - These activities, beverages, and items are NOT permitted in or on the grounds of the Civic Center:" (The words NO and NOT are in bold, all-caps type.) A two column list of banned items and activities then follows, including the usual suspects like not allowing smoking, alcohol, flame, animals, etc. The first item on the list, however, is "Dancing", with no other information provided. In the image, the text of rule #5 has been digitally highlighted in yellow. The first bullet point that follows is also digitally highlighted in yellow, as well as digital stickers of a white arrow pointing to the bullet point, a red line drawn under the text of the bullet point, and a red question mark at the end of the bullet point. The highlights and stickers were added for this post for emphasis and were not in the original document or photo.

HRH Little Cat, the Grouchy Lady of House Thompson
An older, short-hair cat with stripey black, gray, and white markings sitting löaf-syle on a red mat with an orange border, on a cement pad in front of a wire mesh fence looking out over a rock-covered yard toward the street. She is looking at the paparazzi snapping this photo with a look of mild annoyance, especially due to the lack of tribute offered. "The disrespect continues," she thinks.

A NYC-based cable TV show once taped some shows at an ATX venue where I worked. I was outside having a smoke with one of the Local 1 crew and he said, "Man, I don't know how you handle the heat." I laughed - it was October - and called him a Yankee, to which he replied, "No, man, I'm a Mets guy."

Actors are what would happen if you crossed a cat and a monkey and gave it both delusions of grandeur and deeply-rooted insecurities

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises. Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!" Panel three depicts the girl smiling. Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

I'm not saying life is a vicious circle. But it may be a cruel rhombus. Or a callous trapezoid. At the very least, life is a bloodthirsty parallelogram

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.

The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.
Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store and passes out on bathroom floor
A raccoon broke into a closed Virginia liquor store and drank alcohol from the bottom shelves over the weekend.

The amount of reverence I'm seeing from non-theater people for the plays of Tom Stoppard is interesting. It reminds me of the difference between how theater people & laypeople relate to Shakespeare's plays.
