    We have one per person (including MiL!) in the basement. And the Provo River Canal - which could flow all year if they wanted it to - 100 yards from our backdoor.
    How often to you rotate the water?

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      A slightly kooky acquaintance of mine believes that since she next to a temple, no harm will befall her or her neighbors in the event of an earthquake. I want to know the exact extent of the temple safety-zone, especially how it relates to the fault lines.

        We have three big blue 55g water barrels. They sit in our garage and I put a piece of plywood across the top of them so I can use it as a workbench and general place to accumulate junk.

        Last time we rotated was when we moved into the house in 2007. Probably should think about dumping them out and re-filling them again soon although stale water is better than no water.

          I opened the last box of iodized salt the other day. A few of them got ruined by a leaking roof.

            A lady in the ward is starting an Emergency Prep group that will meet weekly. I just got the invite and found the following idea appalling...

            the first Saturday of each month will include a CONTEST at 5:00 featuring the most tasty recipies made from food storage ingredients costing less than $2.

              I think it's kind of a cool idea. Like a Mormon version of Chopped.

                    Moli kinda seems like Chris Santos anyway, he should go and just trash everyone's food.

                        We hate that guy! Always whining that he didn't get a piece of bull testicle or haggis. #wmph

                          It was a long time ago and I was really sad about BYU not getting into the Big 12 so I had to process that and I forgot a lot of things from that time.

                            I would but it starts at 4pm on Saturday. Who schedules something for Saturday mid-afternoon?
