Utah is DUMB!



I cannot believe how busy and stressful today was! Started with paying the speeding ticket! Uggh (I wasn’t speeding!). I started at the county office, and they sent me to the district court office (that’s right they are not attached… Or even on the SAME BLOCK!!!!!!). So I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out where I was supposed to park (haha it said court parking only and I wasn’t going into the court), then got in there and they wouldn’t let me walk to the stupid glass doors to pay the ticket because I had a camera in my bag. So I had to go back to the car (that’s when I snapped this BEAUTIFUL [haha] photo) put my camera in there and go back through security. Once I got back they also informed me my phone wasn’t allowed (mind you they could see me the whole time through the big GLASS doors), and made me turn it off. I had to stand there until it was all the way off! Then go in to pay my ticket and IT’S NOT UNDER MY NAME!!! The poor sweet lady was like, “Are you sure your name is Sara?” HAHAH! Okay WHAT?! Yes, ma’am I am sure. So just an FYI don’t go by “Dara Lody”… because she already has “points” (I am reading about those tonight) on her driving record in Utah.

After that I was like YAY Cache Valley, so I was like hum… maybe I should get my Utah License today too! So I go back to the county office and wander around for a bit then go into the motor vehicle license room because I had no idea. Wait five minutes, then get to the lady and say , “I’m sorry to waste your time but can you tell me where I go to get a driver’s license?” She says nothing just grabs a piece of paper and calls out “Next!” (she reminded me of the mean monster off of Monsters Inc). By then it is 12:45 and there is only 1 main road in Logan. So I am like “Yay, I’m almost a resident!” and get to the Driver’s License place and there is a note on the door that says “We will be closing at 1:00pm on Wednesday. June 24. Sorry for the inconvenience.” TICKED! So I now quit this whole Utah thing and am ready to move back to Idaho FOREVER! Where all the stupid motor vehicle and licensing and traffic court things are in the SAME BLOCK… actually in the same fetching building!
So I told my mom I now get why in Utah you have to pass that emissions test before you can get your car licensed, “because to everything else here, you, yourself, can burn a hole in the ozone!”

Lets hope the night in Orem will be better!
This is Dara Lody, signing off.

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...
