You know you're in Utah when...

You sit in on a meeting at the hospital and some of the doctors and nurses keep referring to Mr. Gallegos as Mr. Ga-LAY-gos.

Now, I'm no expert in Espanol (I don't even know how to put the squiggle thingy on the n), but my years in the central valley tell me that's not the correct pronunciation.

I know what you mean. Someone from LDS Family Services called Tom's office to speak to him. Then they asked his secretary if the bishop was there. She ,the secretary, had no idea what was going on.

that's pretty funny. We just barely got the internet so I was catching up on your blog. I was interested to read the comments on your vote post after seeing you on election night. People really did get fired up!
