Yes, I remembered you saying this was a nicer Quality Inn. We must gotten a room in the old section. The tub was chipped in several spots, black mold between the tub and the fiberglass walls. The bathroom door bottom was peeling off. Wall paper was scuffed in many places. Etc.
So, not our best layover, but, we’ve had worse.
The Best Western in Nephi was extra nice and had an excellent breakfast. It made the QI look extra bad in comparison.
This place tonight is fabulous for the money. I have great expectations for breakfast.
We went to the movie last night. It was the fullest I’ve seen a theatre since before COVID. people

We got Chinese food to go tonight. Dining in was not an option. The sales lady was wearing a mask.
We aren’t seeing masks anywhere.
FYI, the positivity rate for Covid tests in Utah for the week ending July 16th was 27.63%. (it's 14.9% in Colorado.) This doesn't include all the home tests that are never reported. The highest rate Utah ever had was 32% back in January. Based on this data, I would venture that Covid is not over, not by a long shot. What really appears to be over is the political will to mandate public health precautions.

2 years agoWe have seen some very large houses the past few days. It makes me wonder.
I like the crisp whiteness of this house, with the bunting.

2 years agoAs a young history student in college in the early 50s, I learned the power of persuasiveness as the terrible story of mormon handcarts was taught to me. That a single individual had power over others to induce hardships, pestilence and yes, death became clear for the first time. I began to understand how Hitler mesmerized a whole nation. Mormons should not accept anything less than full responsibility for a their radical faith!
