Earlier this week I learned that one of the lesser-known tenets of Mormonism is that each family is supposed to keep at least a year's worth of food in storage, for "hard times." This was explained to me by a socially abrupt redhead girl of about 13 or so, who was working with me to unload the truck that had just delivered our new co-op's food order. (I got a ton of organic produce for half the price of our local stores, while her family was getting 25-lb. bags of flour, cornmeal, that sort of thing.)
She and her 8 siblings were wearing homemade clothes.
I was unfortunately wearing my "What Would Batman Do?" t-shirt.
