Welcome to The Bubble

Originally I wanted to just make a blog to make fun of and cope with the insanity that is Rexburg, Idaho.

After seeing a man dressed in a banana suit walking a goat through the parking lot at the grocery store in an effort to sell juice, I think we realized it wasn't really fair to just sit back and make fun of this place. We see the bizarre hair-dos, the countless screaming babies, the diamond merchants on every corner, and we realize it would be like making fun of some foreign culture just because they did things differently. Idaho is a neighbor to Montana, but we feel as though we're anthropologists living with and observing an alien culture on their home world.

I guess this is what happens when you take a ton of Mormons, make them farm potatoes in the middle of nowhere, start a big religious university with very strict rules, invite young Mormons from around the world to attend, and surround the whole thing with endless desert wasteland. Welcome to The Bubble.
