Re: Is It OK To Have A Mormon President?

sure it is.
I do not think one president ever left religion out of making polices.
Separation of church and state are myth.
Even astrology was` used in making key decisions.

Re: amount of cash

this is very easy.
If carrying a large amount of cash ask for a hand search in privet. Explain why you have the cash and all is good.
Allow for extra time for checking in.

Re: Iron Chef trip report - complete with Iris sighting

B&B is a good choice for a fine fair.
My guess from your wine choice is you had the Calabrone Rosso which is an excellent selection.
