Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

We have a tree in the backyard at Cybersalt World Headquarters that has had quite a few dead branches on it. This week we hired an arborist to come and cut them off. It's a lot nicer to look at, and I don't think it's going out on a limb to say that the neighbours are happy we had it tidied up either!

Today's video share an interesting one that features a musician who really likes to hit the bottle - and many other recyclables.

At the prestigious university there was a clear hierarchy that outlined how long one was to wait for a class to begin if the professor was absent. A full professor rated fifteen minutes. An associate only ten. A mere instructor was expected to be on time, if not early. This system worked only one way, however; and students were afforded no such grace.

It was to be expected, therefore, that one professor, the foremost authority in his field by his own admission, would register distinct annoyance when the student, just out of military service, was late for class for the third morning running.

"Tell me," the professor began, "exactly what did they say in the Army when you sauntered in late like this?"

"Well," mused the unperturbed youth, "first they saluted, then they inquired, 'How are you this morning, sir?'"

I think people who use the wrong word should have the humidity to admit it.

I've combined a laxative and alphabet soup. I call it "Letter Rip!"

An unfailingly polite lady called to ask for help with a Windows installation that had gone terribly wrong.

Customer: "I brought my Windows disks from work to install them on my home computer."

Training stresses that we are "not the Software Police," so I let the little act of piracy slide.

Tech Support: "Umm-hmm. What happened?"

Customer: "As I put each disk in it turns out they weren't initialized."

Tech Support: "Do you remember the message exactly, ma'am?"

Customer: (proudly) "I wrote it down. 'This is not a Macintosh disk. Would you like to initialize it?'"

Tech Support: "Er, what happened next?"

Customer: "After they were initialized, all the disks appeared to be blank. And now I brought them back to work, and I can't read them in the A: drive; the PC wants to format them. And this is our only set of Windows disks for the whole office. Did I do something wrong?"

- photo by Susan PageThe phrase "dark night of the soul" originates from the 16th-century Spanish mystic and poet St. John of the Cross. He used this phrase in his poem and subsequent treatise Dark Night (Noche Oscura). The phrase is not in the Bible; however, numerous recorded stories exist of such struggles.

After Elijah’s victory over the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18), he crashed, both physically and spiritually. He was in great despair and felt abandoned by God. With God’s encouragement and loving care, Elijah eventually got through the deep valley to the other side.
