Right before landing in cloud-covered Salt Lake. A week later, this conversation:
Leta: “Mom, the guy on the news keeps talking about Salt Lake.”
Me: “Okay.”
Leta: “Well… I keep getting confused. I mean, I always think he’s talking about Salt Lake City.”
Me: “He is. sometimes people drop the City part, and they are still talking about the same place.”
Leta: “I don’t think people should do that.”
Me: “Why?”
Leta: “BECAUSE IT CONFUSES SIX-YEAR-OLDS!”
