I live in Salt Lake City, and I am trying to escape to a tiny town in
Maine. A belated welcome to Utah.

People who do not live here do not appreciate how much the LDS church
influences every aspect of life. Or wants to.

I was once asked by a new employee what ward I belong to. They tend to
assume that we are all wearing the same holy underwear and are like
minded.
