    Park City is chock full of Californian refugees. This is par for the course.

      Park City is about 20 minutes east of SLC on I-80. It's populations is pretty much transplanted Californians, *one of the most liberal towns in the state of Utah and the main hub for the Sundance Film Festival (where the world's most shallow people gather in the winter).

      IOW, yes.


      * - for my more liberal friends here, please not that this is just me having a bit of fun.

        Cases like this give the law profession a black eye. Shameless.

          Last month my sister and I were driving out to a tiny town in the eastern part of the state. She turned on her GPS after we got off the interstate, and on this one stretch it kept telling us to "turn left onto unnamed road." Well the 'unnamed road' was a cow pasture with no road anywhere in sight. Needless to say, we opted for an alternate route. In retrospect, perhaps we should have taken the GPS route, claimed we were victims of a wild cattle stampede, and then sued the company.

            A couple years ago you used to be able to get directions between New York and Paris. The directions would take you to the Atlantic ocean and tell you to swim to Calais (or some other place in France). I just tried to pull this up again but it looks like they no longer offer those directions. Maybe they were afraid someone might actually try to swim the ocean, die, and their family sue for millions of $.

              You could get the same thing to get to Hawaii, get to LA, go to the end of some pier thnen swim to Oahu. I wish I had saved it

                Every time I turn on my new car I have to wait 30 seconds or so before I can access the navigation, thus forcing me to read and agree to the legal disclaimer hundreds of times. It is greedy a-holes like this that cause such inconveniences.

                  Ah Hah! If you own a kayak you still might be able to die soon enough that you can sue Google. Look at direction #11:

                      So I shouldn't get into that kayak to get to Honolulu?

                        The best part about the directions is that you land on the side of Oahu opposite of Honolulu. Why not just kayak to Honolulu?

                          I guess you always have to go through Seattle to get there as well:
