Some cool stuff in my neighborhood.

Yes, Homer's a good one. But do you have Snoopy dressed up as the Easter Bunny? Or Pistol Pete? A schooner, perhaps?

I tell you, it takes work to get into this neighborhood!

Easter Bunny Snoopy? Very, very impressive. We should stop now before people think we're showing off.

I guess I should have mentioned that my home is 5 minutes to I-215 and I-15 as well, eh?

YOhio - I'd love to live in Dayton just to see the airplanes.

Yeah. I suppose you're right. We don't want to make Seattle feel bad. (It's okay Seattle, I'm sure your neighborhood is really nice too.)

Dude, you live near one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Salt Lake, Su Casa. Have you been there? It's right across the street from Dr. Johns, so you're probably in the area quite a bit.

As for the airplanes, they're cool. We have a great Air Force Museum.

Are they bald eagles? Last summer I vacationed at a home in Nordland on the Puget Sound, and bald eagles had nests in the trees. We were told it would be a federal offense for the owner of the property (and obviously his lessees) to touch any of the feathers that fall onto the land.

We are very gracious. I would never want to rub it in anybody's face by mentioning that my local Wal-Mart is a Super Wal-Mart with a grocery store, oil change station, hair salon, photo store, and McDonalds.

I've eaten at Su Casa, but there are two other Mexican restaurants within a few minutes to the north and south of it that are far superior.

I also live close to a Del Taco and the Sports Mall. And an Albertsons. And a Smith's. And Murray Park. And TOSH. And a Best Buy. And an IHOP. And a Barnes and Noble. And a Fetal Photos (yes, it's exactly what it implies it is). And a Costco.

Dr. John's scares me, despite the fact that one of my nephews works there as a security guy.

We'll have to disagree on this one. I lived in that area for a year after my mission and ate at Su Casa at least two or three times a week. Nothing fills me up like the Lunch or Dinner specials. I also love that their salsa has the consistency of ketchup.

I saw President Faust at the downtown Su Casa location a couple of years ago. He asked me what I ordered because he thought it looked good. But I guess you think you're better than President Faust.

Exactly! And similarly, I would never deliberately point out that within two miles I have BOTH a Wal-Mart Supercenter AND a SuperTarget. After all, we must be modest.

(I'd also like to not mention that rumor has it we may have both a Circuit City and a Dress Barn soon! I can't wait! I've never had the chance to patronize a clothier that has the word "barn" in its name.)
