GREETINGS TO ALL ADOBE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS

“If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”…Holy Writ - James 2: 15-16.

All families/individuals feel the money crunch when purchasing food in our grocery marts; we can all testify to this challenge.

But, most families/individuals, despite the increased cost of food and other commodities, still are able – somehow – to place sufficient food on the table. Conversely, there are those who clearly cannot make it alone; consequently, they can’t purchase the food they need to sustain their family/ individual needs. That’s where the Gold Canyon Mission Center Food Bank steps in and offers a strong helping hand.

In 2006, a handful of Gold Canyon United Methodist Church members saw the need to feed the hungry and did something about it.

They began to store some donated dry food products in a small church closet. There was enough food to feed a few families. Thus began a mission of love that has now grown into a major Arizona Food Distribution Center – the Gold Canyon United Methodist Church Food Bank.

In 2023, approximately 10,000 families/ individuals were served, which represents a 25% increase over 2022. Based on yearend applications, it is anticipated there will be a major increase in 2024. The Food Bank extends its heartfelt gratitude for the generous support of the Gold Canyon community and community organizations, whose kindness sustains and empowers this invaluable community initiative. Donations are always welcome. Contact can be made

Glenn Walp President

480-982-2316

with the Food Bank at GoldCanyonUMC. FoodBank@gmail.com or 480-982-6789.

Ms. Donna Talley and Mr. Mid Carlozzi, Food Bank Managers, will be the presenters at the ADOBE March Community Meeting.

Donna and Mid will share precise details and narratives highlighting the Food Bank operations, emphasizing the evolving distribution dynamics, particularly the growing need for the elderly. Individuals interested in contributing to the Food Bank are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to the meeting. The meeting will be held on March 21, 2024.

You are reminded of our February Community meeting being held on February 15, 2024, where “alien type” stories will be presented by Gold Canyon community citizens - including multiple ADOBE Board members. A member of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) will present comments on the Phoenix Lights. MUFON is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study and investigation of UFOs by collecting and analyzing UFO data and reports from around the world. If you have an experience, don’t be shy; please attend and let us hear your story. This is a serious meeting that many of your neighbors will be interested in hearing.

Because of an expected stacked house, time limits will be placed on presentations.

Both Community Meetings are being held at the Gold Canyon Best Western Hotel, with social time starting at 6:15 pm and the meeting at 7 pm. We hope to see you at these two intriguing and informative programs.

she saw as part of it, and the way she and others around her dealt with it (or didn’t). I’ve read a few books on forensics and criminal investigations, and sometimes they can blur together, but I found Butcher’s memoir frank and interesting throughout. It’s also interesting to read about 9/11 and how different her work was after the attacks.

Staff Picks Of The Month

FROM AJ PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry, recommended by Debbie 1939 London – Hazel, 14, and her sister Flora, 5, are evacuated due to the bombings. They are chosen by Birdie and her son Harry. Living in a cottage along the River Thames, Hazel distracts Flora by creating a mystical world they call Whisperwood. One day Flora disappears. Since she was playing near the banks of the river, it is assumed that she has drowned. Twenty years later, Hazel comes upon a book written about Whisperwood. How could anyone know about their secret place? The author goes by the name Peggy Andrews and lives in America. Hazel contacts her and sets up a meeting in London. Meanwhile, Dorothy Bellamy, a journalist, has been trying to get to the bottom of Flora’s disappearance.

Dorothy and Hazel agree to meet Peggy together in London.

How does Peggy know about Whisperwood? Is Peggy really Flora? Will Dorothy help solve the mystery?

What the Dead Know: Learning About Life as a New York City Death Investigator by Barbara Butcher, recommended

by Megan S. Barbara Butcher spent 23 years moving up the ranks of the New York City medical examiner’s office, including 9/11.

In this memoir, Butcher candidly recounts her experiences: what led her to the job, the haunting and desperate scenes

Avery Grambs finds herself in the middle of a dangerous game when an eccentric billionaire leaves her his entire fortune, snubbing his grandsons. The stakes are high for everyone involved. This was a fun and easy read!

Tom Lake by Ann Patchett, recommended by Karen Have you ever wondered about the lives your parents lived before they became your parents? Do you think you know everything about them and their lives prior to your arrival? In the novel Tom Lake, the main character’s daughters wonder about these things… and ask their mother while staying at home at the family cherry orchard in Michigan during the pandemic. The stories are told in both present and past timelines, going back and forth to weave an interesting tale of love, life, choices made, and family. While the author’s geography of Michigan is a bit off, the writing is well done and the story flows nicely, mirroring the play “Our Town.”

December Staff Pick: The Bookbinder by Pip Williams In World War I-era Oxford, twin sisters Peggy and Maude work in the book bindery for the university press. They live a simple life on a canal boat, always together, but Peggy wants more. This book explores the nature of knowledge, class, and gender; the war is a backdrop as we follow Peggy’s growth over the course of several years. She studies, works, volunteers with the war wounded, works with Belgian refugees, makes new friends, and falls in love. Members of our staff book club enjoyed this novel, saying it’s full of unique perspectives. We felt we learned a lot from the novel’s setting (both historical and physical) and the bookbinding work that the sisters do.

SONORAN DESERT LANDSCAPES TOM MCDONALD OWNER - SMILING DOG LANDSCAPES

ARIZONA STATE LAND DEPARTMENT

—A RANCHER’S EXPERIENCE

By Tom McDonald & Todd Carter You may have noticed that my article now has a new name, more accurately reflecting my interest in Landscapes, with a capital L. For this month I have partnered with my friend Todd Carter, a local rancher who sent me the following about a serious issue regarding one of those Landscapes.

Hello, my name is Todd Carter, the purpose of this article is to start a conversation about the camping situation on Arizona State Land. Obviously the traffic has exploded in the past few years. Most Sonoran Desert residents understand that any tracks put on the desert floor by a vehicle remain for years, and if those tracks are made in a rainy season the damage can last for decades.

There are no “designated camping areas” so folks are setting up camp anywhere they like on state land. Sometimes making a new wildcat road, maybe ¼ of a mile long, which leads to longer roads in the future. I have worked on this ranch since 2005 and this phenomenon I didn’t see coming.

There are social media sites that are dedicated to camping on state land.

Part of the problem is that this is very hard to enforce, as there are few A.S.L.D. agents in the state.

The permit itself is a problem. It simply states, “the permit is good for one year from date of purchase”, not specifying which 14 days. This makes enforcement almost impossible. It also does not verify the RV license number. Nor does it differentiate between Arizona residents and the approximately seventyfive percent who are out of state visitors. By making simple changes, the permits would be easier to manage. 14 days makes less of an impact on the desert than 4 to 6 months. A resident family permit for camping costs $20, perhaps that amount should be increased, and funds used to enforce the

rules. Closing prime State Land to this type of camping would help also.

Everything I am proposing should enhance the income to the state, while mitigating the damage to the land. My hope is this starts some gears grinding, I would encourage one of our local community organizations to invite the A.S.L.D. out to talk to us.

As a rancher on state trust land, I can see that the writers of the state constitution did not anticipate these problems, that is why I think we need to step up, recognize the issue and get out in front it.

Thanks, Todd.

HEALING NATURALLY

Dr. Tina Marcantel, Naturopathic Doctor 480-738-1647 | DrMarcantel.com 6589 S. Kings Ranch Road, Gold Canyon

KEEP MOVING!

A few years ago I had an inspirational patient who came in to see me regularly for wellness care. She was in her eighties but she still had a youthful vigor and she would proudly demonstrate how she could bend to the ground with straight legs and lay her hands flat on the floor between her feet.

When I asked Cecile the secret of her energy and flexibility, she told me she had years before seen an interview on the news of two ninety-year-olds who were getting married. The man told the reporter that his prescription for staying healthy into his advanced age came down to two words: “Keep moving!” Cecile had taken it to heart and made a point of following that advice every day.

If you’ve been relatively sedentary lately, here are some suggestions for getting more flexible and fit that are very doable.

Yoga is a great start. You can find lots of online videos for beginners that will get you going. Don’t worry about looking like the person in the video—you can adapt any yoga pose to something that is comfortable for you and gradually try to improve your poses as you practice. For extra motivation, join a beginner’s yoga class for the comradery and support it provides. Some benefits of a regular yoga routine: • • • •

Improved flexibility Improved balance Practicing purposeful breathing Calming the mind

Stretching is another excellent practice.

While you’ll do plenty of stretching in a yoga class, I have found another program that has been a big help to me.

It’s called “The Egoscue Method” and it was developed by the physiotherapist 16 | Superstition Living

Pete Egoscue years ago. His progressive series of gentle to moderate stretches are designed to both promote flexibility and bring the skeletal frame into proper alignment to reduce chronic pain. I’ve benefitted quite a bit from this program in the relatively short time I’ve been using it, seeing a big improvement in flexibility and reduced pain, particularly in my hip and knee joints. You can find these books and videos practically anywhere.

Walking, in the words of Dr. Thomas Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is “the closest thing we have to a wonder drug.”

You’ve probably heard of the benefits of walking before, but here is a list from the Harvard Health Publishing website that may surprise you: • • • • •

Counteracts the effects of weightpromoting genes.

Helps tame a sweet tooth.

Reduces the risk of developing breast cancer.

Eases joint pain.

Boosts immune function.

Studies show that most of these benefits can be achieved by simply walking at a brisk pace for 20-30 minutes a day 4 or 5 days a week.

As we roll into 2024, I encourage you to make your health a top priority in your life and the best way to do that is to Keep Moving!

GARDEN CLUB’S BUTTERFLY GARDEN REJUVENATION WINTER OF 2024

The Butterfly Garden on Alameda East of the Dinosaur Park parking lot is getting rejuvenated for Spring. The upper story trees have been thinned so more light can be available for the underplants that are favorite foods of the butterflies.

We have noticed the favorite pollinator plants have enemies, javelinas, deer and rabbits. We are running trial plantings of Blue Mistflower, Conoclinium coelestinum or hardy ageratum and Gregs mist a near cousin. We hope they keep the critters away by salting other plantings in amongst the mists. The mistflowers come in various colors and a Mexican variety has brighter colors. The Queen butterflies are especially fond of the mist plants.

The Butterfly Garden has a few annoying holes made by local ground excavators but it is a natural site. Early in the morning you can catch sight of the underground residents. Various birds and wild visit the garden through the evening and early morning especially.

Please take a walk in the Garden during daylight hours.

The Gold Canyon Garden Club meets the second Tuesday of the month October through April at 10:00 AM at the GC Methodist Church Mission Center. Find us on Facebook at Gold Canyon Garden Club or on line at gcgc@spcdock.com.

Thank you Kathleen Henderson for the information on the Blue Mistflower.

An Arizona Retreat STAY, PLAY & RELAX

Comet Hale-Bopp over the Superstition Mountains By: Bill Dellinges, Roadrunner Observatory ( 480) 983 6651 This photograph was taken on the morning of March 15, 1997, as the comet rose over the Superstition Mountains about 4:30 A.M. A Nikon F3, 35mm camera with a 50mm lens set at F 1.4 and tripod mounted was used. Exposure was 1 minute with Fuji Color Super G 800 Plus film (AS.A. 800). This shot was taken looking east from my backyard in Apache Junction, AZ. The stars show short "'trails" because of Earth's rotation during the exposure. Note the two tails of the comet. The brighter white tail results from reflected sunlight off dust grains released from the comet's nucleus and is thus called the dust tail. The fainter blue tail, or gas tail, emits its own light due to its gases being excited to fluorescence by the solar wind, a steady flow of charged particles from the Sun On this date, the comet was about 130 million miles from Earth traveling toward the inner solar system at about 27 miles per second. Its closest distance to Earth came on March 22nd-122 million miles.

Comets are small chunks of frozen water, gas, and dust.

Ranging in size from cars to about 50 miles across, they are leftover debris from the formation of the solar system Most went into making the planets, but perhaps a trillion were ejected by the outer massive planets into orbits Farbeyond Pluto, the most distant planet. They reside there for billions of years until some force kicks them toward the inner solar system As they near the Sun, the cornet's surface begins to melt and the Sun's radiation pushes the melted material back, forming the tail (actually two as noted above). These tails may extend for millions of miles, though very tenuous in nature. Comet expert Don Machholz estimates that in April of 1997, Hale-Bopp's tail was 150 million miles long (the Sun-Earth distance is 93 million miles).

LIVE IT WELL

HALE-BOPP COMET CONTINUED

When you begin falling in love with your life, you find time for new things that inspire and motivate you. You become more in-tune with your wants and needs and your life will become more satisfying and complete as you focus on these things.

Though Hale-Bopp's original diameter was about 25 miles, the melted gas and dust expanded to form a halo or "coma" around its nucleus about 1 million miles across. In April, the cornet was emitting an estimated 400 tons of dust and 75 tons of water per second. It's interesting to note that astronomers believe most meteors (shooting stars) we see at night are dust grains liberated from these comets and burning up as they plunge into our atmosphere.

Falling in love with your life also means learning what you love, what you desire, and what you need. It means focusing on your goals and how you can and will pursue them.

Allowing you to discover what you really want out of relationships, out of yourself, out of your existence on this earth, and to build a well-designed plan for your future.

Comet Hale- Bopp was the brightest comet seen since Comet West in 1976, and will return in 2400 years.

SUESCHAFFER

OWNER LIVE IT WELL PLACE

LOVE YOUR LIFE If we follow the traditions of Valentine’s Day, we may begin looking for that beautiful bouquet of red roses, that custom box of See’s Candy or perhaps planning a special dinner or outing to acknowledge our love for a special person. But what if this year we also consider the additional benefits of being in love with one’s own life?

Another important element in falling in love with your life is caring about your health. Eating and sleeping well are important to maintain well-being and ward off illness. Exercising regularly has a positive impact on your overall health as how you feel physically can influence how you feel mentally and emotionally. Taking time for you is a necessity for our physical, mental, and emotional health. Including a physical movement practice in your life has numerous benefits and will cultivate a deeper sense of selfawareness, self-confidence, and happiness.

When you’re focused on loving your life, you invest more time with the important people in your life—your family members and friends. Taking time to learn the incredible value of these people will allow you to be more fulfilled by all the memories, experiences, and relationships you create in your day-to-day life.

Falling in love with your life is a continuous practice that should be integrated into your daily routine. It is important to prioritize setting aside time for simple activities that bring you joy, such as reading a book, taking a relaxing bath, or going for a walk out in nature. Suddenly, little things like the sunset or a dog curling up next to you on the couch carry meaning. These little things that you so often overlook are now a central focus, and an integral part of your wonderful and meaningful life. Your happiness is all the tiny, wonderful things that give you meaning and purpose.

When you fall in love with your life, you start to value yourself and what you’ve overcome. You start to see your purpose, and how events in your life have shaped or changed you. You find yourself in awe of how you’ve grown, and excited for who you will become.You can just enjoy your life….even with its imperfections and flaws.

Loving your life can bring you a greater sense of purpose. By aligning your actions and choices with your values and aspirations, you feel a deeper connection to your life’s purpose. You make decisions that are in line with your authentic self, which leads to a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Each day becomes an opportunity to live with intention and meaning.

Notes regarding the background stars: On this photograph, the comet's nucleus is located in Andromeda at right ascension 23 hours, 15 minutes and declination +43 degrees. Though a rather starpoor-region, certain stars and patterns can be identified. The ''w'' shaped pattern directly above the comet is the constellation Lacerta lying on its side. The little dipperlike grouping of stars left of the comet are 3-11 Andromedae.

The two bright stars on the left border are alpha (bottom) and beta Cassiopeiae. The two bright stars on the right border are eta (bottom) and pi Pegasi. To the lower left of the comet, lambda Andromedae can be glimpsed just rising above the mountain.

Foreground illumination of the mountains and saguaro cactus was provided by light pollution from cities to the west.

Falling back in love with your life requires a little determination and reflection, but mostly it’s about letting go and just tuning in—to your most authentic self and to the world and people around you. It will set you on the road to rediscovering your true purpose and potential. Be in Love with your Life. Every Beautiful and Amazing Minute of it.

• Developing a personal financial strategy – Many factors go into creating a longterm financial strategy. What is your risk tolerance? When would you like to retire? What sort of retirement lifestyle have you envisioned? What are your other important goals? A financial advisor will ask these and other questions in getting to know you, your family situation and your hopes for the future. By taking this type of holistic approach, a financial advisor can help you create financial and investment strategies appropriate for your needs.

• Avoiding mistakes – A financial advisor can help you avoid costly investment mistakes. One such mistake is attempting to “time” the market. Investors pursue market timing when they try to “buy low” and “sell high.” In theory, of course, this is a great idea — if you could consistently buy investments — stocks, in particular — when their price is down and then sell them when the price has risen significantly, you’d always make some tidy profits. The main drawback to this technique, though, is that it’s virtually impossible to follow, especially for individual investors. Nobody, not even professional money managers, can really predict with any accuracy when stock prices have reached high or low points. Consequently, those who try to make these guesses could miss out on opportunities. For example, investors who are determined to buy low might not want to purchase investments when the market is up — but this practice could lead to taking a “time out” from investing just when the market is in the midst of a rally. But a financial advisor can steer clients toward a more disciplined approach, such as buying quality investments and holding them for the long term, regardless of the ups and downs of the market.

• Checking progress toward your goals – If you were to invest without any guidance, you might not be looking at your investments’ performance with the proper perspective. For example, some investors simply compare their portfolio returns against a widely used market index, such as the S&P 500. But this comparison may not be that useful. The S&P 500 only measures the stock prices of the leading publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization — but your investment portfolio, if properly diversified, will include investments other than U.S. stocks, such as bonds, government securities, international stocks and more.

Consequently, the performance of your portfolio won’t track that of the S&P 500 or any other single index, either. Your financial advisor can help you employ more meaningful benchmarks, such as whether your portfolio’s progress is on track toward helping you meet your financial goals. Also, a financial advisor will review your portfolio and investment strategy regularly to determine what changes, if any, need to be made, either in response to the markets or to events in your life.

Investing for your future can be exciting and rewarding — and you can feel more confident in your decisions when you have someone helping you along the way.

LASAGNA ROLL UPS

A new twist on making lasagna and easy to change up the ingredients before rolling up! Make a variety of different fillings if desired (like spinach, mushrooms, shredded zucchini, grated carrots, etc).

PREP TIME: 25 MINS. COOK TIME: 40 MINS. BAKING DISH: 9” X 13”

INGREDIENTS: • 12 Lasagna noodles (cooked to instructions on box) • 1 lb. ground beef • 2 Tbsp olive oil • 2 - 24 oz jars of Marinara spaghetti sauce or your favorite or homemade sauce, plus part of a second jar to put some sauce on the bottom of the baking dish and extra to pour on top of lasagna rolls when serving, if desired. (I used Rao’s brand Arrabbiata spicy marinara sauce) • ½ c yellow onion, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper • ½ tsp salt • 1 tsp black pepper • ½ tsp Italian seasoning • 15 or 16oz container of ricotta cheese • 1 large egg • ½ c Parmesan cheese (finely shredded) • 3 c shredded mozzarella cheese (2 - 1 ½ cups divided) ¼ c fresh parsley (chopped) INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large skillet, over medium high heat, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking apart with a spoon.

Add the chopped onion and cook about 3 minutes. Add ¼ tsp crushed red pepper, 1 tsp black pepper, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, ½ tsp salt and garlic. Mix well and saute for 1 minute. Pour in 24oz of your favorite or homemade marinara sauce, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside.

In a large pot bring water to a boil and add 1 tsp of salt and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Cook lasagna noodles to al dente according to directions on package. Drain noodles and put them back in the pot and cover with cold water.

While pasta is cooking prepare the cheese mixture. Add ricotta cheese, 1 large egg, ½ c Parmesan cheese, 1 ½ c of mozzarella cheese and the chopped parsley to a large bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.

Drain the lasagna noodles and lay out on wax paper covered cookie sheets. Pat the top of the noodles with a paper towel to take off most of the moisture. Divide the ricotta cheese mixture down the middle of the noodles and spread evenly. Put some of the meat sauce on top the cheese mixture and spread out. Add some of meat sauce in the bottom of the 9” x 13” baking dish along with some extra sauce.

Cinnamon Roll

If you like cinnamon and cheesecake, this is a delicious creamy cheesecake with cinnamon crumbles in the four layers and topped with swirls of cream cheese frosting!

INGREDIENTS:

CRUST: • 1 ½ cups graham cracker OR vanilla wafer crumbs • ¼ sugar • 1 tsp ground cinnamon • 5 Tbsp butter, melted CHESSECAKE FILLING: • 24 oz (3 8oz packages) of cream cheese, room temperature • 1 cup sugar • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour • 1 cup sour cream • 2 tsp vanilla extract • 2 tsp ground cinnamon • 4 large eggs, room temperature CINNAMON FILLING: • 1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar • 5 Tbsp ground cinnamon • ¾ cup all-purpose flour • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: • 2 Tbsp cream cheese, room temperature • 6 Tbsp butter, room temperature • ½ tsp vanilla extract • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar • About 4 Tbsp heavy cream

Roll noodles up jellyroll style and place seam side down in baking dish. Cover rollups with remaining sauce and sprinkle remaining 1 ½ c of Mozzarella cheese over roll-ups. Cover with foil and bake for 38 minutes in preheated oven. Then remove foil and bake for an additional 2 minutes.

Serve with extra pasta sauce if desired and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Add a green salad and some garlic bread and enjoy!

INSTRUCTIONS: CRUST: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9” springform pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides. Combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, set aside to cool. Cover the outsides of the pan with aluminum foil so the water from the water bath cannot get in. Set pan aside.

Cheesecake

the amount of air added to the batter, which can cause cracks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Beat on low speed until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly to combine after each addition until well combined. Set aside.

To make the Cinnamon filling, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and flour in a medium sized bowl. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Sprinkle about ¼ of the cinnamon filling over the bottom of the crust, then drizzle and spread about 1/3 of the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon mixture.

Repeat layering the cinnamon filling and cheesecake filling two more times for a total of three layers of cinnamon and three layers of cheesecake filling. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon filling over top of cheesecake.

CHEESECAKE AND CINNAMON FILLING: Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.

For cheesecake filling, add the cream cheese, sugar and flour to a large mixing bowl and beat on low speed until completely combined and smooth. Be sure to use low speed to reduce

Place the springform pan inside another larger pan. Fill the outside pan with enough warm water to go about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. The water should not go above the top edge of the aluminum foil on the springform pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. The center should be set, but still jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the

door closed 30 minutes. The cheesecake will continue to cook, but slowly begin to cool as well.

Crack the door of the oven open for 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake to continue to cool slowly. This process helps prevent cracking. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath wrapping and set the cheesecake aside to cool to about room temperature, then refrigerate until firm, 4-5 hours or overnight.

FROSTING: To make the frosting, add the cream cheese and butter to a mixer bowl and mix until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and mix until well combined.

Add the heavy cream 1 Tbsp at a time, as needed, and mix until well incorporated.

Remove your cheesecake from the springform pan and set it on a plate or serving platter, then pipe the frosting in a spiral design over the top of the cheesecake. Store cheesecake in the fridge until ready to serve.

Cheesecake is best if eaten within 4 to 5 days.

ENJOY!!
