I used to live in Utah. I lived there for over 13 years. A couple of months ago I moved back to Connecticut. There are a lot of differences between the two states, some fairly obvious (Connecticut generally has more humidity, while Utah generally has more Mormons), and some that might not be very apparent…
I’ve got two good legs…
So the Daily Prompt asked today - You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, or car? (Or something else entirely — bike? Hot air balloon?) When I was younger and asked my mom for a ride somewhere, she would often reply with "You've got two good legs." Meaning of course, that I was free…

sweet dreams and space travel
So the Daily Prompt today asked "When you were 16, what did you think your life would look like?" I was a junior in high school when I was 16. That year I took a science class called "Earth Science". It was one of my favorite classes ever. It was probably the only class that I did all…
