You know you're not in Utah when...

You walk out of the hospital and there are three policemen decked out with bullet proof vests, all kinds of weapons, and machine guns...and no one bats an eye.

A homeless man on the street tell you that "you're a pretty white girl" who is also "intelligent" (I was outside the medical library) and declares "I'm in love with you". Then proceeds to make up a rap song to sing to you as you walk away across the quad.

The man next to you on the bus tells about this great bike path he found, and once he even rode through a police chase while he was riding on it to get to the metro.

Wow- to steal a classic line: "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

And that was just one day.

Who wouldn't be in love with you as you walk down the street?
