| Dan,

but I would like to have all my ducks in a row first.  It could be that

I'm in Holladay, UT. Call it Salt Lake City. After all, we were a part
of SLC till about 2 years ago when a county vote determined we would
form an independant city (dumb idea if you ask me, but hey, I cannot
overrule the majority vote).
