When I got back to BYU, I anticipated enjoying one of my favorite BYU traditions: BYU Creamery ice cream. Imagine my dismay when I went to the Creamery to enjoy some Peanut Butter Cup, Graham Canyon, or Almond Joy ice cream, and there were only two flavors: vanilla and cookies and cream. Where has all the ice cream gone? After going to all Creamery locations to try to find at least some peanut butter cup ice cream, we asked an employee to give us the down low on the ice cream dearth. Apparently, when DT was torn down, the Dairy Production Lab/DT Creamery was also razed. My friend and former boss, Jerry Pingel, made 182,000 half-gallons and 22,000 three gallon containers of ice cream and stored them in the deep-freeze, a -20 degree freezer. The new Culinary Support Center is a month behind schedule finishing date. Jerry apparently underestimated the BYU student body's ability to consume ice cream, and now, there is an ice cream famine. It is rumored that the MTC has stopped serving BYU ice cream to provide BYU students with the last of the supply. While we patiently wait for the new ice cream to be made, the creamery people are consoling the student body with the information that BYU will continue to produce half-gallons and will not fall into the one and a half quarts fad. While that is good news, my mouth is still watering thinking about the ice cream it can't have. Matthew 24:7-8 "...and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."

Sad, very sad!
WHAT!?!?!?!?
Too bad...but shouldn't you have asked him for the "low down" instead of the "down low?"
It's okay. I got dumb on my mission too.
Thank you for redoing your font in read. Us old blind people were having trouble reading it!
Apparently, us old people have trouble spelling the word "red", too.
