Lessons Learned

A few things I've learned while in SLC:

• Armed military are on duty at the airport, and stand in one area on a black 5 by 8 foot mat.


• Situated at an altitude of 4500 feet, directly beside a huge salt lake on a desert makes for a very dry climate.


• Do not come to SLC without lip balm.


• The geography is quite similar to the BC Interior - rolling hills with scrub, shale and desert. Beautiful surroundings.


• It appears that every single SLC resident owns a dog.


• No one cleans up after their dog.


• SLC is exceptionally clean. I don't know how this is reconciled against the last point.


• The Mormon Tabernacle is a pretty amazing building


• The Mormon Convention Center looks small from the outside and impossibly huge from the inside.


• Walking over 16 miles in the surrounding hills is guaranteed to produce blisters.


• Blisters hurt more as each day goes by.


• I love my GPS receiver more with each passing day.

I've also been learning business techie stuff, but that's kinda boring, so I'll spare you those details.

Stay tuned for more from SLC.
