Mor (mon) Or Less!

  Saturday's western adventure took us from
Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Salt Lake City
Utah!
   In Jackson Hole everybody was either a
Cowboy or wished they were.
   In Salt Lake City most everybody is a
Mormon or wants you to be!
   Our tour included the Mormon Temple.
   At least it was suppose to!
   A group of young female "sisters"
lead us around the Temple complex with
their green flag, portable speaker system,
and pamphlets asking us if we wanted more
information about becoming Mormon.
   The Temple (actually two temples) were
closed at the time of our visit because each
was being used for a "family reunion."
  I suggested that, since we all came from
Adam, we had to be part of one of the
families. But my appeal fell, generally,
on deaf ears. One guide did admit that
we could "crash" one of the reunions at
our own risk and my wife managed to
sneak in for a quick look and photo.
   Almost everything is "Mormon"
around here.
   Even the Gideon provided hotel
Bible must share space with the Book
of Mormon.
   I half expected to hear the Mormon
Tabernacle Choir singing in our
hotel room!
   Instead we found our room overlooking
a sea of mostly young people and an
extremely loud band that has somehow
been left over from the "Occupy
Movement." It seems they're camped
out there!
   As I write I am longing for the street
corner gunfight back at Jackson Hole!
   Hope it's quiet where you are and
that all your NEWS is good!
