 Police arrest man for armed robbery during drug deal in southeast Wichita 
 Police have arrested a 20-year-old Wichita man suspected of robbing a woman at gun-point during a drug transaction in southeast Wichita. Police spokesperson Charley Davidson said around 12:20 a.m. a 20- year-old woman called to report a disturbance with a weapon in the 9400 block of East Harry. Davidson said the woman was meeting with Crawford Anderson for a transaction when he entered her car, pointed a handgun at her and demanded property. Property was given to Anderson and the woman said he fled from the vehicle on foot. No one was injured during the incident. Officers located Anderson this afternoon in the 9400 block of East Harry, and he was arrested without incident. The investigation is ongoing and will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Michael RE: What is good about W10?   Dear Webby, What is good about W10? It is S L O W, awkward, doesn't network properly, and just generally is a pain in the South-End. It can't even handle my Logitech M510 mouse, that has worked properly for many years on W7 ! POS Is there ANYTHING good about W10 ? Will W11 be better, or just more pain and suffering? When will we get W11? Michael  Dear Michael So far I have not found anything good about W10. It IS awfully slow and awkward. If you put Linux on a W10 iron, it is so fast that you think it is not working, until you get used to lightning fast operation. If you just use it for real work, put Linux on it. It will run Chrome blindingly fast, and of course Open Office and Office Libre, which are made on Linux anyway and just ported to Windoze. The same goes for any gadget that you want. You may have to download and install them, but I can't think of any, that are not available for Linux. As for W11, forget it. Microslop wants to call W10 "the everlasting operating system" and just make Mac style additions for it. Are they trying to chase you to Linux? It sure looks that way! Keep in mind, all the youngsters coming out of college have used Linux in college exclusively, and have been indoctrinated by frantic Socialists, who want to destroy Capitalism. W10 is proof that they are definitely making an impact on Microsoft. Have FUN! DearWebby

The girl approaches the boy and says, "Hey Tommy, wanna play house?" He says, "Sure! What do you want me to do?" The girl replies, "I want you to communicate your thoughts." "Communicate my thoughts?" said a bewildered Tommy. "I have no idea what that means." The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband." ____________________________________________ >From Bea My 5 year old son was playing and was busily building up a fort in the living room. I asked him how his fort was coming along and if he would like help making it. He said " It's not a fort mom, its a dog house!" I said " Honey we don't have a dog. " To which he immediately replied " Well I think its time we got one since we do have a dog house!" ____________________________________________
