See Ann Strongheart's story on anonymous bloggers. Sarah should apologize. It sounds like it will be another hard winter in terms of food at least. I was listening to my favorite left-wing radio station on the way home from work and there was a great story. I will have to give you just the gist of it. Somewhere in the US a small bunch of Baptists decide to picket a Jewish temple. Why? Because they are Jewish and because they welcome members of the LGBT community into their place of worship (oh good heavens, we can't have that!) Apparently (I believe they said 6) members of the Baptists (they said something about family members that I didn't quite get) showed up to picket. What did the leaders of the temple do? Wait for it... They decided to have a fundraiser: People donated $1 for every minute that the picketers stood out there. They made $10,000 in 50 minutes. Just think what an Anchorage Assembly meeting could raise. We could feed people, buy fuel, rebuild Eagle for goodness sake. I thought it was beautiful. Fundraiser anyone????

Well half the people have half a fish and some don't have their half yet, but this old guy, he says he's got his, and half the people he knows have theirs and the others will all get theirs befor the snow flies. And some have loaves. Ooh! Loaves too? Well then, that is good news. Loaves and fishes. You can't question loaves and fishes. There will be plenty for every soul. Maybe cookies too, also. Oh, thank the lord. I was so worried. About those poor natives. Thank Mr Taylor. And John? Well done! It was those two guys from Montreal again:
