Do they have a standby line for people without tickets? Couldn't they use such a method to fill the sessions? Or not enough takers for a standby line?

Where was this filmed? Utah? California? There is a small manzanita bush in the foreground, which to me signifies California, but maybe it's found in Utah as well.

If I had to move there, I'd look for a home with solar panels so it wouldn't cost a fortune to run the air conditioning.

John Wayne and Susan Hayward were both smokers, which was a separate risk factor for lung cancer, but I understand there was a higher than expected incidence of leukemia and other cancers (not linked to smoking) among the film crew of "The Conqueror".

Pardon my ignorance, but when St. George gets hot (100+ F), is it dry heat a la Las Vegas/Palm Springs, or can it be humid monsoon heat like AZ gets in summer? My guess is it's a "high desert" type of climate, mostly dry and with little monsoon. I remember a family camping trip years ago that took in St George (late August) and we had monsoon-type thunderstorms and lots of rain. Don't k

My current machine is a Cuisinart DCC-1100. Reasonably good. If it broke, I'd buy the OXO, either the 12 cup model or the smaller (8-9 cup) model. Highly rated.

Correct. As did Dallas and Travis (Austin) Counties. The only Texas GOP Congressman to vote FOR Sandy Relief aid was from Houston.

Also, the temple workers seem to be chosen for their ability to memorize the tedious, lengthy script, rather than for their dramatic talent. "Eve" can be a septuagenarian with a hurricane/beehive "do" and rhinestone eyeglasses.

The online obituary for the boy mentioned services to be held at an LDS (mainstream) meetinghouse. I bet the adults did a temple session.

Or maybe the adults were away for several hours (temple session?) while the older kids supervised the younger kids. I"m not saying the parents were in the home for six hours before noticing a child missing, but between the time away from the home (article states the adults returned to the home) plus the time they were in the home before and after the "religious celebration", the ch

Sounds more like 30+ relatives crammed in to one relative's home. Neighbors must love them (not), unless they all engage in this activity. Or perhaps some of them were in hotels and the house was a venue for meals.

The Johnson Provision prohibits TAX EXEMPT religious entities from endorsing candidates, though they can take sides on issues. The Catholic Church can support the March For Life in Washington every January, but they cannot endorse a slate of pro-life candidates---or risk losing their tax exemption (including the ability of their donors to deduct donations from their taxable incomes.

As a kid in the early 1960s, Baskin-Robbins ice cream cones were 10 (single scoop), 20 (double), or 25 (triple) cents. Drug stores like Thrifty (now Rite-Aid) and Sav-On (now CVS) sold cones for five cents.

No, he is in Corcoran. Which explains why he was moved to an ICU in a hospital in Bakersfield. As far as I know, CMF Vacaville has a medical ward for stable patients, but not an ICU, so critically ill patients at CMF would still need to be moved to an outside hospital's ICU.

My parents are old enough to remember iceboxes, mostly from their grandparents' kitchens. I know my paternal grandparents had a GE electric fridge from the late 1920s, because it ran in the basement of her weekend country home through the late 1980s. it was then packed up and stored, and might still run but who knows.My maternal grandparents were less well to do and likely had an icebox into the

Yep. Frigidaire rolled out the first non-built-in fridge that you could plug in anywhere. Built=in refrigerators for commercial and high-end residential use existed earlier, but Frigidaire was the first for the masses.

Had I served a mission and been endowed, I would have been eligible to wear street length garments inside the temple. But only by three or four years. I recall you (Stray Mutt) stating that long garments (to wrists and ankles) were required for temple use when you were endowed.

LOL. We're not that far apart in age, but my parents were born 1928 and 1931. As never-Mos, they came from families of two and three children, respectively. No one went on having kids into their 40s.

We are no=Mo's. Maternal grandfather born 1890, maternal grandmother born 1894 (she died 1997 aged 103). My paternal grandparents were born in the early 1900s. Mom's parents always referred to any brand of refrigerator as a "Frigidaire", as if it was a common noun (growing up, our fridge was a GE, but to my grandparents it was a "Frigidaire").
