My
Rambling Thoughts
Got
my walk in before the wind started.
Got
some sad news from Tuba this morining. A cook from the boarding
school cafeteria passed due to Covid19. Delbert worked there for 28
years. He and his loving wife raised 5 kids + the many he fed at the
school. I remember him as a friendly jokester that was appreciated by
all the students.
John
Oliver, the comedian, can be brutal. He says the reason Trump wants
to open the churches on Easter is that Jesus didn't stay in the tomb,
and neither should Americans.
Finally
NAU, our local university, is stepping up for the students. Students
are offered a 25% credit for next semester to all dorm students at
the time of the shutdown, and on active meal tickets at the time of
the shutdown.
I've
been limiting my time away from home for over 3 weeks. While I do try
to do daily walks, and only shop during senior hours...early in the
morning...I am starting to get bored. Texting and talking to friends
is good, but sure miss human contact. I'll survive, but wish this
could end sooner than later. I just keep reminding myself I'm not
alone in this and everyone has the same issues I do.
Today’s
Puzzle
Answer
at the bottom of the page
A
man wanted to work, but he could not log in to his computer terminal
successfully. He tried twice, but still his password did not work. He
suddenly remembered that the passwords are reset every month for
security purposes. So, he called his boss and said, “Hey boss, my
password is out of date.”
His boss replied, “Yes, that’s right. The password is different. Listen carefully. I am sure, you can figure out the new one. The new one has the same amount of letters as your old password, but only four of the letters are the same.””Thanks boss.”With that, the man could correctly log into his station. What are both the new and old passwords?
