Well, here’s the deal: Tallest tree goes to Phoenix, making up for lack of any weather. Heaviest, SF—who cares? Brightest, Salt Lake, powered by Joseph Smith’s memory. I’m a little upset that Portland doesn’t even make this list… but maybe we’ll get on the map now that someone tried to blow ours up (too soon?).

not too soon, since it was never actually going to happen!
Yeah, our tree should get an award for: “Survived a terrorist threatening it with mass destruction”.

Maybe Xmass destruction? y/n?
Who is this John Smith cat?

Marissa is referring to the John Smith who has stayed at the Candlewood Suites Salt Lake City Airport Hotel–with “the missus”–more than 1,300 times so far this year.
@Todd, TOTALLY! Man, my Mormon friends are going to be pissed!
