Good Morning, Do! Today is Thursday, April 4 I enjoyed hearing Pence and Bridenstine announce the plans for boots on the moon in 2024, and on Mars 2033. Naturally the anti-American saboteurs and Resisters claim that is impossible as long as they are resisting. Well, they forgot, it is not the Government, and not even NASA anymore, but Free Enterprise! It is between Spaxe-X and Boeing, and Toyota. Toyota is firmly committed to put a car on the moon in 2024. For them, commitments are VERY VERY serious. And then there is a dark horse. Rumors out of China claim that Volvo is messing with a car, that is much too light for Earth. And Russia is too quiet. If they were not doing anything, they would be bragging about something. You can bet your hiney that when Japan, China or Russia will get close, in an election year, there will be the necessary money. Personally, I would bet on Space-X and Tesla. Right now the whole space effort looks as if it was run by OHSA, not by suicidal fighter pilots like it was done in 1969. However, if Elon Musk sees a meme of the First Lady saying she would rather see a Tesla on the moon first, before the Toyota, then he won't sleep until there IS a Tesla on the moon. And I will cheer him on every step of the way. Have FUN! DearWebby ______________________________________________________ Today, April 4 in 1932 After five years of research, professor C.G.

A woman kidnapped her 13 year-old niece brought her to a female pedophile friend who sexually abused her. Shannon Hinton, 40, was last week convicted by jurors of abducting the child from her home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, on November 11 2017 then transporting her to pervert Natlie Lett. The girl was found by police four days later. Lett admitted sexual battery in February, and was sentenced to 30 years jail. She will serve nine years behind bars, with the remainder of her sentence suspended. Hinton, who was convicted of accessory before the fact of sexual battery will be sentenced at a later date. She faces up to life in prison. The scheming kidnapper brought the youngster, who Metro US is not naming, to Lett's house in Biloxi, Mississipi, then left her there for the sexual predator to abuse. The youngster's disappearance sparked a widespread search at the time, with her panicked mother appealing for her to return home. After she was discovered at the house by police, she was reunited with her family. Announcing Hinton's conviction in a press release, prosecutor Patricia Burchell said: 'Crimes against children cannot be tolerated in our society and will not be tolerated in this community. 'We will use all of the resources at our disposal to protect our children. 'Those who commit these crimes will be held accountable and brought to justice.' From: Sharon Re: transferring pix from camera Dear DearWebby Dear Webby; It's me again with a different question. Currently I have a Kodak digital camera. I transfer the pics from the cameral to the Kodak gallery that I installed when I bought the camera. Is there a way to just transfer the pics from the camera to a folder in my documents Instead of going thru the Kodak gallery. I edit them in the Kodak program then save them to a folder in my documents to send out to friends or & put on disk. This would save time if I could go straight to a folder. Thanks again. Have a purrfect day Sharon Dear Sharon Nowadays laptops have a little slot on the side where you can insert the camera memory chip. For desktops you usually have to buy a $6 - $12 chip reader on a cord, that plugs into a USB port. That's so that you don't have to crawl under your desk to stick the chip into the computer. The chip reader, wether internal or external, acts like a hard drive. You can edit pictures right on the chip, rename them, copy or move them to the hard drive, even FTP them straight to the web. If your camera uses a 2 GB chip, it's like a 2 GB hard drive, whenever it is plugged in. I browse the pictures with PaintShopPro, weed them out and resize them right on the chip, then copy the results to the hard drive. There is no need for a camera maker's program, or the computer where that program sits. If you visit friends, just take the chip reader along, and you can work on the pictures with their computer.

Sandra was out driving her car and while stopped at a red light, the car just died. It was a busy intersection, and the traffic behind her starting growing. The guy in the car directly behind her started honking his horn continuously as Jill continued to try getting the car to start up again. Finally Sandra gets out of her car and approaches the guy in the car behind her. "I can't seem to get my car started," Sandra said, smiling. "Would you be a sweetheart and go and see if you can get it started for me. I'll stay here in your car and honk the horn like a bleeping idiot for you." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | |

At the tollbooth, I asked the attendant, "What do you people do in Kansas when the wind quits?" The tollbooth attendant didn't miss a beat. She answered, "We take the rocks out of our pockets." ___________________________________________________ A Mormon acquaintance once pushed Mark Twain into an argument on the issue of polygamy.

>From Mark When the U.S. Mint reissued two-dollar bills, I thought they might someday become collectors' items. I went to the bank and picked up a hundred, serially numbered and still in their original band. On my next trip to my parents' house, I gave the $200 to my mother and said, "Take good care of these. They might be worth something someday." Several months later I asked Mom if she was keeping the two- dollar bills safe. "Oh, yes!" she replied. "I cashed them and deposited them in the bank the day after you left." ___________________________________________________ | Today April 4 in 1541 Ignatius of Loyola became the first superior-general of the Jesuits. 1581 Francis Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I.
