    I'm wondering if part of the trouble in recruiting for law enforcement are the credit checks.  Ironically, media and advocacy groups are portraying our protectors as knuckle-dragging, bigoted bullies, when the reality is that our integrity and accountability standards are generally much higher than for civilian positions.  There is a special level of hypocrisy in those academics of late, who enjoy chastising peace-keepers, while defending rioters, all for Youtube fame.

     

    I also wonder if the random drug testing keeps some away....I believe it does with other jobs. 

  2. A few months ago we got a new Bishop in our Ward.  He's originally from Idaho.  This is his first time serving as a Bishop.  With him being in his first year I call him Rookie.   During the winter months here in Missouri if the weather gets bad they'll call church off. In rural Missouri they don't clean or remove snow on the small highways.  Anyway  I told our Rookie Bishop that in order to be fair we need to cancel church some Sunday when the weather is nice outside she we can enjoy the sabbath.   Anyone else agree ?   Lol

    See a football match at Old Trafford, preferably against a top tier team, but any game would be cool.

    Tour London.

    Visit Europe (actually doing that later this year).

     

     

    I hear that ....old Trafford.   Would love to see a match there.  Too bad as a missionary in England I wasn't allowed to go.

    I got off the flight to England, took the train to London, rather dazed I went into a microscopic grocery store and was browsing. I turned around and found that 5 people were lined up behind me in the tiny aisle, waiting for me to move. No one had said a word!

    Because of the areas I was in....I have been to the Lake District.  Stood in front of Wordsworth home.   Been inside the York Minister.  The Queen visited two of the areas that I was in.
