I seem to remember something about a guy named Joseph, a colorful
dresser, corn, dreams, seven years and the like...

There is a huge store of food in Salt Lake City stored by the LDS
church. One more proof that if the government doesn't do something,
someone else will if they think it is a good idea. A fair number of
LDS people have a year or two of food on hand themselves too. Been an
official church recommendation since the 1930s.
