1. Steve Jobs quote: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

*Local Pork Sales: Warner School agriculture teacher, Sheri Freeman (email: freemans@sdcoe.k12.ca.us) is looking for people to purchase swine project pigs from her students at the Ramona Fair. She has several that didn't make weight for judging and the auction so they are going back to school to put some more weight on them. They're looking for people to purchase whole, half, possibly even a quarter. She or I can give you an idea of cost. It's fantastic meat and helps the students realize even a small profit on their investment of time, work and money. Thanks, Linda H.

*DEHYDRATED FOODS -- Make them a part of your food supply and

is not a "for profit" set-up and is open to all. There's a price list of what's available at the cannery down in San Diego. I am not trying to proselytize for my church. Bill and I go down there about once a month to fill orders for members of our branch up in Julian. Non-members are very welcome to shop there, or give me their order and we'll fill it. We send in an order to the "beprepared" website every month or two and would be happy to include anyone's order with ours. You may also sign up to receive their monthly catalog. Linda Harkleroad
