I know that Utah has really, really pretty landscapes. And really, really crappy air quality. And our legislature is... interesting. We also have some of the best bargain state colleges in the US. And as mentioned before, we have the only undefeated football team. That beat Alabama. Utah is pretty much teh s**t.

Why does Utah have poor air quality?

Most of the cities are built in valleys and the mountains surrounding them trap the pollution inside.
Didn't they name a beach after it somewhere...?Normandy, France, D-day landing site. Really damn windy, high cliffs/bluffs in places. Very somber country. I was only in Brittany for a few weeks, so I'm sure those impressions are terribly accurate.
Original post was sarcastic (I'm a big World War II buff). However, your reply is still relevant.
And for those of you who do not know, Utah beach is nothing like Utah.
Fun fact: the guy in charge of writing crossword puzzles for the London Daily Mail was nearly indicted for espionage after the words "Utah," "Omaha," "sword," "gold," and "overlord" appeared in the crossword on the day of the invasion. For those not familiar with the Normandy invasion, the first four words are the names of four of the beach landing sites, and the official name for the operation was "Operation Overlord." The man was acquitted after the whole incident was proven to be a coincidence.

Fascinating.
Coincidence, my ass. LET 'IM DANGLE!
"I forget U... I forget get U... I forget U...tah!"
Seneca Howland, O.G. Howland, and William H Dunn were shot by Mormons in 1869.
Actually, the original story is that they were killed by Native Americans after killing a Native female who was out gathering seeds. There is also thought that perhaps Mormons did it, but both are conjecture: >>LINK

Also, almost all of our power is provided by coal or oil burning power plants. We're working on getting some wind power plants built (we've got a couple of wind farms already), and I think we may have one or two geothermal plants hidden somewhere in the mountains, but we have no nuclear power and no solar power of any consequence. We also have a few smelting operations that spew all kinds of fun chemicals into the air around the Salt Lake Valley. Our air quality is less than in LA. All the nasty smog is kind of ironic, considering nobody here smokes. :D

Along those same lines, for the last two weeks I have been driving up to Sandy for a Social Studies Methods class on Saturdays. (Just three more weeks to go, yeah.) Anyway, both weeks I have gotten about ten miles outside of Scipio and run into really bad fog. We are talking San Fransisco or London fog here. The type of fog in which you expect to drive out the other side and be in Ravenloft. I'm not sure what the deal is, but I hope it doesn't stay with the trend this weekend.
