Had to completely resize it as it was some stupid resolution like 3072X2304. Didn't think people's monitors quite stretched that far...

Very nice. Silly question but what country was it taken from?

The cardboard mountains in the background nearly look really, I'm impressed! ;D

Garp got it. We're actually a little south of SLC in a suburb called Pleasant Grove.

What a crap name for a place.

In England, all the paces named nice, like that, are always sh*tholes!!

While very pleasant, it does remind me of one of those mock towns created for nuclear bomb testing.

Reminded me of the village in Lost.

Looks pretty nice, but I'd prefer to live somewhere more crowded to be honest.

They was bungalows, and more spaced out :p

Bet that makes a massive change ;D

How are you guys settling in to the new place?

More importantly, how are you settling in to being unable to buy a beer without being condemned to eternal damnation as a sinner?!

Heh, doesn't bother me as I don't drink anyways. It's actually quite refreshing to hear plans for the weekend from your coworkers and not hear about the hundreds of dollars they'll spend on booze, then complain Monday morning about being broke!!

We're beginning to settle in here. Just bought the wife a 2001 Neon just like the one I had but in white. She's loving it. She doesn't get on well with my Jeep. Says it is top heavy and rides like a tank.:rolleyes: Duh! It's a Jeep!!

I think the best part about the move here is the lack of flies and mosquitoes. Being a desert, there's not much of either anywhere.
