Temples
As the new executive secretary I’ve changed a couple things. The most obvious is the Sunday program. The previous secretary kept the same image on the cover, the Mesa Temple. I don’t have a problem with that, but I decided that it was time for a little change. Starting last week I’ve started putting a different temple on the program each week. Last week was Nauvoo, this week is St. George. I realized today that when I was born there were 17 operating temples. In the ENTIRE WORLD. The church was celebrating it’s 150th year when I was born and there were 17 temples. It is hard to believe that there were so few. When I got married, 22 years later, there were 114. 33 temples were dedicated in 2000, nearly twice the number that were in existence after 150 years. — Just a little trivia.
SRP Update
Apparently SRP hasn’t fixed the bug in their software. I owe $20,888.60 this month. I think it’s funny 🙂 One day they’ll figure it out. It appears to have something to do with them not being able to handle negative numbers. When the solar panels produce more electricity than we use their computer gets all screwed up.
Atonement
This is a wonderful article from Elder Ballard about the Atonement:
Whats Up SRP?
So I went online to see how much my power bill will be this month. The bill hasn’t come but they post it online before sending it. When I logged in to their website this is what I saw:
Notice the bill for $7,185.38? I knew they raised electricity rates, but I didn’t think it was that much! The funny part is they allow me to see my daily usage, and I produced 20 kilowatt hours more than I used. I bought 51 kwh of on peak power and they’re paying me for 71 hours of off peak power. The actual bill should be in the neighborhood of $15. I think there’s a bug in their software … or someone forgot to move the decimal when they multiplied.
(I sure am glad that I’m on the time of use plan. It saved me $5,362.53. I’m glad my bill wasn’t the full $12,547.91) Hope they fix that before my bill comes, or the AZ Republic will have a fun story on their front page.
“Local family pays $140.88 per KWH while everyone else pays $0.10 per KWH”
If only they would pay me $140.88 for the electricity I produce…
Poor little pupfish
This is video from USGS of the Devils Hole pupfish pond in Death Valley during the 7.2 Baja earthquake. This pond is about 300 miles away from the epicenter.
