(Copied from the Bills' blog...)
Just for fun...let's compare where we all live by answering a brief survey:
1. Price of gas today: $2.21/gallon at Chevron vs. $2.03/gallon at Costco
2. Temperature today: 22 degrees at 11:00 a.m. and 1-2" of snow from last night (is the inversion finally gone? We can only wish!!)
3. Sacrament meeting topics (this week): A new family to our ward spoke. Actually, their two children (ages 5 & 7) spoke, and the father. The father half-told a story of why his wife wasn't speaking--something to do with the first time they were asked to speak in church, and her speaking ended up with the paramedics coming in and reviving her. I'd have liked all the details!
4. Biggest small-town news story of the week: A West Bountiful jogger was hit by a woman taking her kids to daycare last week, right in front of our elementary school. Luckily, by the time I drove kids to school, there were just a bunch of police cars and the car that had hit her, left on the road. She was wearing all black and was in the jogging/walking lane, but the Suburban swerved over & hit her. The 30-year old jogger was unidentified for a day before her mother realized she hadn't seen her come home the night before. The family got to see her in the hospital for several hours, until they finally decided to take her off of life support, since she had never responded.
5. What your kids are doing/did for 100 days of school: My kids didn't even know it was 100 days this year--5th grade/4th grade/2nd grade. I think it's only a big deal in kindergarten & first grade. Next year we'll know when it hits 100 days, when Sabra's in kindergarten.
6. Restaurants indigenous to your locale: Cafe Alicia, Robintino's, Mandarin, Joy Luck Club
7. Top 3 attractions near you that people would be interested in visiting: Temple Square, Great Salt Lake & Antelope Island, 2002 Olympic sites
8. Closest temple: Bountiful, 15 minutes east
9. Distance from your house to where you attend church: 2 blocks
10. Number of different HOMES you pass on the way to church: 6
11. How long have you lived in the house where you live? almost 8 months
12. The team everyone roots for in my city is: Utah Jazz for sure! Divided on BYU blue and U of U red....
13. The number of visitors that could sleep comfortably at your home if they were to visit: We've never tried it. But we have a huge family room--we could probably get wall-to-wall sleeping bags in there and fit the whole family. If it was summer, the huge back yard would provide outside sleeping room. No extra bedrooms/beds, however. So maybe 0, comfortably!
14. Distance between you and the next closest relative: About 10 minutes to Mom & Dad in Bountiful

Isn't it crazy the differences in locales? Very interesting, though. I liked the change of denominations to HOMES. Only in Utah!!!
