I saw a very large, round, man in northwestern Montana wearing a camo kilt. I didn't know whether it was the tartan of a clan of hunters or whether he was trying for an outdoorsy Catholic school girl look.

If I understand you, you're saying there is something for which a long skirt/dress (and I'm talking ankle/floor length) is uniquely necessary, the way swimsuits are for swimming. What is that thing?

I happened to pass through Logan, Utah, the other day. I suddenly became aware of a number of women wearing long skirts or dresses. They weren't fundie Mormon style. Lightweight fabrics, floral, somewhat stylish, but, you know, Mormon modest. Eh, okay, if that's what they like to wear. In my travels around the country about the only times I've seen long skirts/dresses were among hippie-ish people

I ask because I've been reading about artifact diggers/thieves/black marketers in the Four Corners area. One of the most notorious ones was Earl Shumway. They were able to jail him because of DNA left on a cigaret butt at one of the thousands of ruins he broke into. He's supposedly dead now, but as one BLM ranger said, "He's been dead before."

A TBM relative posted the church's post-Charlottesville statement on racism on FB. Though it said all the right things, and probably came as a smackdown to Mormons who still believe God only loves white and delightsome people, it took them two days to craft it and have all the necessary brethren sign off on it. But some guy praised it in the comments and said other religions should follow The Chu

But they'd be able to brag even more that they're part of the small, exclusive, minority of those who are righteous enough, valiant enough, yadda yadda yadda. That's what the celestial kingdom is all about anyway.

Whenever this Mary Chapin Carpenter song comes up on the iPod I think of Mormon women -- except for the coffee part and having only three children.

"The nineteenth century was the height of Egyptomania..." Add that to the widespread belief at the time that the native people of the New World must be the Lost Tribes, and that they had buried treasure all over the place. And add all that to the religious mania of the Second Great Awakening.
