As I related some time ago, my first visit to an old pal who had moved to
SLC I insisted we go swim in the Great Salt Lake right outside of the city
(wanted to see if it was easier to float in it than the salty Atlantic of my
home beaches). Natives picnicking on its "beach" stared in amazement as we
waded right in (almost no one was actually in the lake water!)and we soon
found out that (1) it (and soon we) smelled rank, and (2) it's filled with
brine shrimp, plus (3) big flies circulating overhead. To this day, she
never lets me forget our "swim" (NOT) in the GSL (ROFL). I wonder if the
people in SLC know their huge source of this Thai salad garnish, LOL....I
doubt it.
