Dramatis persona*
Helen Chick
I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"!

Two days later, there was a subtle pink glow in the clear sky at sunrise, but the calm mild conditions meant that the authorities thought that it would be a good opportunity to do some […] Six years after first getting hearing aids, I decided I needed to get them adjusted … only to discover that one was pretty close to giving up the ghost and that, of course, the intervening years have seen some advances of technology giving many more audio channels and fancy auto-adjusting programs that alter settings in different […] It’s been a while since I’ve done a “Moods of the Mountain” post, so here are four shots from the last few days.

First Law Stupidity is easily created but can only be destroyed by the addition of large […] Recently I attended a meeting at which someone highlighted a little quote from Elder David A Bednar’s April 2014 conference talk in which he said “Happiness is NOT the absence of a load”.

As some of you may […] I had plans to get out of the office for a walk today, and take my 12 of 12 photos on the way using a theme I hadn’t actually picked. I also had plans to cross several rather important things of my depressingly lengthy “to do” list.
