I'm a fan of just about anything to do with Utah. Other then home, it's my favorite place on Earth. It's true I don't get to go to Jazz games, though, lol. I also remember saying, back when Cotton was still hanging on with the team, that I thought there were a lot of thoughtful and intelligent people here, as a result of some threads in general discussion, and, son of a gun, if I didn't stick around for that reason. And I hope to show my wife the state of Utah in 2019, and will be asking for suggestions as to best time of year, etc. At that time maybe you can chime in and direct me to someplace sure to cost me my life, lol. Three years already? Well, I must be having a good time, anyway.
Best time to visit depends on what you're wanting to do. Spring through early fall are good if you want to do some outdoorsy stuff that's not skiiing. Summer is fine, too, typically, and isn't usually unbearably hot as it currently is. As far as directing you to some place that would cost you your life? Slayer is coming to town next month.

I want to show my wife the national parks I visited. But I know that's not easy anymore. It was the last time I drove across the state, which is a clue on how long ago that was. Anyway, I'm thinking Fall.
And BTW, your characterization was spot on. That is the way it went. Close enough. Wasn't anything I planned, just liked it here. Trump derangement syndrome, lol...

Trump invented a psychological disorder called Trump Derangement Syndrome(TDS), apparently to describe the liberal press. Actually, it's another way of saying "anybody who disagrees or criticizes Donald is nuts". I'm sorry, Donald. You too Press Secretary Sarah. The real Trump Derangement Syndrome happens when Trump amps up, to the maximum, in as demagogic a fashion as possible, the anger and hatred of his base against the media. "The media is the enemy of the people" leads to the behavior seen in Jim Acosta's tweet from Trump's Tampa rally. These are the victims of Trump derangement.
We've seen this behavior from the start of his rallies during the 2016 campaign, the appeal to anger and hatred, and finding scapegoats upon which to focus the anger and hatred once it's stoked. Right from the start in his rallies, and it has continued unabated by Trump. Illegal immigrants, black athletics, Muslims, the media, the press. Each and every one cast as some degree of enemy, each despised in turn by his core supporters. Or, as far as I'm concerned, his cult.
I ask you. This is leadership? I say this is a sad sack low life that directs contempt by his followers against so many "others", in order to maintain nothing less then the power grab of someone who does not care one single iota about this country. If we're truly not better then this, screw it, this country isn't worth two s***s in a bucket. Acosta's tweet from Trump's Tampa rally. This is what happens when you repeat an anti-press mantra in your daily tweets and at every rally.

I don't care how much the President dislikes the news media. The news media has every damn right to put Donald Trump under the lens. Freedom of the press is in our bill of rights. And "fake news", by Trump's definition, is any press that criticizes him in the least, or any press that does not act compliant at all times, and in the face of the thousands of lies told by Donald Trump in his tweets, and to the press, since his inaguration. The media is not the enemy of the people, and to say that it is the enemy of the people is the most repeated and predictable mantra and Big Lie of every dictator since the press existed. Trump defenders and Trump apologists both are wasting their breath talking to people like myself. They need instead to open their eyes and understand what attacks like this on a free press represent.

Q?So republicans believe in this guy? I guess he did help prepare Picard to combat the Borg. And I vaguely remember him trying to seduce Capt Janeway for some reason. But what does he know about American politics?
In all honesty, how dumb are republicans? Even TNG folks are getting in on the game of trolling them.
