No Smoking in Utah

If you're a smoker and heading to Utah anytime soon, you might want to steer clear of Beaver, Utah. It seems that the good folks of Beaver, Utah will not only raise their prices in a heartbeat, if you're a smoker, they'll give you a threatening stare and warn everyone in town that you're there.

I had never heard of a non-smoking community, but a while back my boss stopped in Beaver, Utah, hoping to get some sleep for the night. When she lit a cigarette, she was given some pretty bad looks and then when she headed for a hotel for the night, the clerk informed her that she was raising the room price because they didn't like her kind in their town. After learned why they didn't like her kind in their town, my boss decided her life was more important than a full night's sleep.

I've known communities that don't allow drinking, but smoking? And then there are those prejudice towns who will leave nasty signs to warn those they don't want to stay clear of their town or else. What is this insane ass world coming to anyway?

Surviving in the Big City

No food. No money. No resources..... and an unknown city. What if this happened to me? How would I survive? It's a question USA Network wants to know.

Even in a city, mother nature surrounds us, so I would look for fruit trees, bushes, etc. If there were none, I would look at what I have on me. Do I have anything to trade? Or, could I get a job? If it's a big city, often times, employees will hire on the spot. For water, I would look for the local park. Most local parks have water fountains. Public restrooms also have water fountains. There may also be local shelters, if not I'd look for a church. Most churches will have information on where to find free food and shelter. Also, many local restaurants are willing to part with food at the end of the day. Since there are no resources however, churches and local shelters would probably be out. Sleeping might be in hidden tunnels, parking garages, anything open 24/7 such as bus stations or airports. Depending on the weather, the best thing to do is sleep somewhere covered. If worse came to worse, alley garbage cans where food places throw out items are a good source for food.

Now that you know what I would do, check out CIA Operative, Michael Weston and find out how he would survive with USA Network's Burn Notice.


Now it's my turn to ask, how would you survive?
