Morning News

Good morning...

I've decided that today is the day...

When I start moving my IT about.

I've realised that most of my work (mainly programming) gets done on my second most powerful computer,

Whereas, my most powerful computer does very little at all.

So, not only will I be physically swapping them over,

I will need to re-image my most powerful computer (it is currently running Windows 10 - I normally use Linux.)

Thus, today (and possibly tomorrow) there will be times when I won't have access to email or Skype.

It's also likely that there won't be a Morning News tomorrow.

However, I do need to get this done as it will increase my productivity.

Keep your picture...

A soldier serving overseas far from home was annoyed and upset when his girl wrote to break off their engagement and ask for her photograph back.

He went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find, bundled them all together, and sent them back with a note saying, “I regret that I cannot remember which one you are. Please keep your photo and return the others.”

It's a Miracle!

The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range. Three weeks later, a sheep walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes.

He took the precious book out of the sheep's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!"

"Not really," said the sheep. "Your name is written inside the cover."
