Traffic for 2005 July 12

I've survived my first week in public accounting. I've already adjusted to 12 hour days. I love being busy!

Sunday was an interesting experience. We are in the Newport stake, so the stake center is right next to the temple. But we are on the edge of the ward, so the building is about 5 miles away. Being back in a family ward is a bit of an adjustment. Though our stake is very well-to-do, our ward is the pauper ward of the stake. Lots of young, struggling couples.

But the unbelievable part of Sunday was the couple we sat next to in Sunday School. They are in their 70's at least, and were using a palm pilot for scripture study. I never thought I'd see the day. I talked to the brother during priesthood. He told me he bought his house in Costa Mesa in the 1960's for $36K, and it's now worth $700K. But he can't afford to move! This year for my birthday, I want Real Estate.
