- Brutal destiny has brought me to Utah and, hey, this is THE safest on
- Earth. Don't lock the door, leave keys in a keyhole outside -- in
- vain, nothing will happen. Once I left my wallet with money and credit
- cards in the carwash, what do you think, the same evening someone
- called me up and returned it. Recently there was a TV story about a
- madman who killed someone in the nearby Logan. The fact that called my
- attention: that was the first killing in the city in _7 years_.

- I never felt that safe anywhere in the SU (certainly not in Chechnya -
- brrr) even in the golden years of the well developed socialism.
-
- So, you have to know places.
