What is a Stake? What goes on at a Stake? Why is there tents at a Stake?
A stake is a group of wards. The ward is the basic unit of the church, like a parish or congregation. Wards in a geographic unit are grouped for administrative purposes into a stake, which is comparable to a diocese in the Catholic Church. The term "stake" comes from a passage in Isaiah, where Zion is likened to a tent, and is encouraged to "strengthen her stakes".

I don't know that anybody has found any Olmec remains to test. Organic things do not last well in hot, humid environments, at least not in a state that would permit DNA analysis.

Which reminds me--when did Hayley join Celtic Woman?
Makes me glad to be Irish, I'll tell ya.

I have a Sarah Brightman station on my Pandora internet radio, and they frequently play both Hayley Westenra and Sissel.
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
I hope the heavenly choir sounds that good.

A Lobo fan?? Are you kidding me?
Didn't you see the giant BYU in my post?

Most of the projects are related with oil and gas exploration. I have just done surveys for the last few years--not "land surveying", but wandering around in some out of the way place looking for "stuff". I haven't done a "dig" (we prefer "excavation") since 2000. Sometimes we find cool stuff, or see neat sights, but a lot of it is hard, boring, hot, tiring work.

You shoulda seen me last week when I got the truck stuck up to the rear axle. Now that was some muddy boots.

Believe it or not, I actually work as an archaeologist. I'm a humble mid level field manager sort of guy, which means I get all the crap handed to me, and then I get to pass it on to whatever few subordinates I may have at the moment. Oh, well, it beats real work.
I can sympathize with your brother--I too have done a variety of things which had nothing to do with my major, just to stay alive.

Yet another wanderer from the MA&D board--for those who don't know me (which is pretty much all y'all) I am a lifelong member, haven't always been active, but I am now. Married, age 53, went to Brazil on a mission. Graduated from BYU with a degree in archaeology. Live in Sevier County, UT, where I moved after the last 13 years in west TX/southern NM.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
