Good Morning, Do! Today is Tuesday, Oct 24 My gorgeous Diabetic Nurse managed to get me an appointment at the Retina Center in Calgary. The girl at the appointment phone is a juvenile high speed mumbler that a senior like me has no chance to understand. Zoe got through and got me an appointment for today, Oct 24. I am way overdue for injections, so I am looking forward to seeing reasonably well again by the end of the week. I won't be able to send out newsletters on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. __________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ History: Today, Oct 23, in 2003, In London, the last commercial supersonic Concorde flight landed. __________________________________________________ Q Art is science made clear.

I chose a treadmill in the corner so I'd be inconspicuous. However, as I exercised, my worst fears came true. At least a dozen people turned to stare at me periodically. I thought it might be my imagination, but then one woman even squinted to get a better look. Mortified, I stepped off the machine to leave. When I turned around, I realized that the gym's only wall clock had been hanging just inches above my head. _________________________________________________ Unfortunately, I am quite safe from Cougars. ___________________________________________________ Things it takes most of us 50 years to learn: 1. The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it. 2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-saving time. 3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 4. The most powerful force in the universe is: gossip. 5. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above- average drivers. 6. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is: age 11. 7. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 8. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 9. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 10. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them. 11. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and he decides to deliver a message to humanity, he will NOT use as his messenger a person on cable TV 1with a bad hairstyle or in some cases, really bad make-up too. 12. You should not confuse your career with your life. 13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter/janitor, is not a nice person. 14. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 15. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. 16. Your true friends love you, anyway. 17. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. ___________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Edith RE: What is DropBox?

DearWebby ________________________________________________ >From Evelyn A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family." ___________________________________________________ If You Can Spare A Coin, Please Hit Paypal With It! ___________________________________________________ A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

The Delray Beach Police Department, along with the Boca Raton Police Department, Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office and U.S. Postal Inspection Service, apprehended three individuals believed to be involved in a daring armed robbery that occurred in May in Boca Raton. The accused men are now facing charges of robbery with a firearm after targeting and robbing a mail carrier at gunpoint and stealing his postal arrow key. The three individuals, Ecclesiaste Cleristor (19), Jonathen Pierre (19) and Jimmy Jerome (19), were arrested on October 11th, 2023 at their homes in Delray Beach. This case is part of a larger investigation that began in February when the U.S. Postal Inspection Service provided information to the Delray Beach Police Department regarding a group of individuals suspected of committing multiple mail thefts in Palm Beach County. The primary focus of these criminals was to rob mail carriers of their postal arrow keys, granting them unauthorized access to mailboxes in the area. Once they had these keys, they would unlawfully open mailboxes and extract checks from the stolen mail. These stolen checks were either altered or used as templates for creating counterfeit checks which were then deposited into various bank accounts for financial gain. The Delray Beach police took action by executing search warrants and apprehending five individuals connected to a fraudulent mail operation. The search yielded a significant amount of evidence, including over 2000 checks, more than 200 bank cards, a stolen postal arrow key and five stolen firearms. These men now face charges such as organized scheme to defraud, criminal use of personal identification information and grand theft. Its important to note that the investigation into this mail fraud is ongoing and we anticipate further arrests in the near future. _________________________________________________ History On Oct 24, in 1632, Scientist Anthony van Leeuwenhoek was born in Delft, Holland.
