Rick Rolled at LAX

Made it through the security line, found our gate, snagged a seat ...

And sat down to the soothing sounds of Rick Astley. A parting gift from CA, I suppose.

So long, LAX, so long.

Food Storage reminder

Many members of the Church are aware of the frequent reminders of the leaders to the membership of the counsel to set aside food and other supplies so that there may be resources available in times of need. (For a biblical example, think of Joseph's interpretation of the Pharaoh's dream of the 7 fat kine and the 7 sickly kine).

Check out THIS ARTICLE from the Wall Street Journal. Does it take a "business figure" to tell you this to start doing it? Are you glad for the foresight offered by leaders of the Church?

Food Storage... what's in your basement?
