I’m in Utah

My niece-in-law’s wireless was not working when I got here. I had to st it up - - again. Unfortunately, she had misplaced all the settings and codes so I had to reset everything and start from scratch.

I’ve done a few things around here. One of which was to install an overhead fan and light. It took me all day to get it done. Well I did have to go to the store to get some screws and washers. It sure looks good in her bedroom.

Driving around here is hard. The town of Provo and Orem are right next to each other. You can’t tell when you leave one and enter the other. And the street “names” are just plain lame. Both have a street named Central (an east-west street) which is the north-south dividing line. On the north side of central the streets go 100 North, 200 north, 300 North and so forth and on the south side the streets go 100 South, 200 South, 300 South. This is for both towns. The main north-south street is State and this is a common street for both towns. The east-west streets go 100 East, 200 East, 300 East an so on and 100 West, 200, 300 West and the like. It would be a great system if both towns didn’t use it or both towns used Stake Lake as the start point for the system of street names. So as it is if you are the corner of 800 North and 400 East and you try to use a map to get to where you want to go you cannot tell where you are, you have to first find out whether you are in Prove or Orem. Try finding someone to ask at five in the morning. Needless to say I got lost.
