 Missouri man charged with 9 felonies in bridge shooting 
 A 37-year-old Kansas City-area man was charged Friday with attempted first-degree murder and eight other felonies after authorities say he randomly fired into traffic on a bridge that connects Kansas and Missouri. The charges filed in Leavenworth County, Kansas, District Court against Jason Randell Westrem, of Houston City, Missouri, include four counts of firing into an occupied vehicle, two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated endangerment of a child. Two children were passengers in a vehicle that came under fire Wednesday on the Centennial Bridge near Fort Leavenworth. A soldier stationed at the Army post hit the shooter with his car to stop the firing. One person, also a soldier, was wounded, and the suspect was injured and remains hospitalized, according to Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson. Thompson declined to comment about the details of the case ahead of court hearings. It was not immediately clear whether Westrem has an attorney. Leavenworth police officers initially believed they were responding to a road rage incident on the bridge. Instead, they discovered that a man had been using multiple weapons to fire randomly at vehicles. The soldier who ran over the gunman had been waiting in traffic when he saw what was happening. So he sstepped on it and rammed the shooter.  DeaWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Lynn Re: Find lost picture   Dear Webby, I need to find a picture, that I KNOW I got, somewhere. Due to advanced CRS, I can't remember where I put it to make sure I can find it again. It is Trump's fault, of course ;-) I don't remember the complete file name either, just part of it. So I need a program, that can use Artificial Intelligence, since my natural one has gone away, or a fuzzy search. What have you got? Lynn  Dear Lynn Try Search Everything. You get it at  https://www.voidtools.com/ It is a truly phatastic program. The only mystery about it is why it is still free. You type in whatever part of the file name you remember, and tell it what it is, picture, document, program, etc. And let it run. It is surprisingly fast and scours your hard drive for anything, that includes the name of your ex or your next or whatever you are searching for. If your machine has just barely enough RAM, exit the program once you have the picture. Especially if you still run with 47 tabs open in Chrome, and music playing, the RAM used by Everything could cause a slow-down. I have used "Search Everything" for many years, and I love it. There is no other program as efficient or fast. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Making Friends With An Owl

 Q: How many animals can you fit into a pair of pantyhose? Now, think about it..... Ready??? ARE YOU SURE??? Answer: 10 little piggies, 2 calves, 1 ass, 1 beaver, an unknown number of hares, and a fish no one can find. _____________________________________________ The proud father brought home a backyard swing set for his children and immediately started to assemble it with all the neighborhood children anxiously waiting to play on it. After several hours of reading the directions, attempting to fit bolt A into slot B, etc., he finally gave up and called upon an old handyman working in a neighboring yard. The old-timer came over, threw the directions away, and in a short while had the set completely assembled. It's beyond me," said the father, "how you got it together without even reading instructions." "To tell the truth," replied the old-timer, "I can't read, and when you can't read, you've got to think." _____________________________________________ Millions of years ago, there was no such thing as the wheel. One day, some primitive guys were watching their wives drag a dead mastodon to the food & fire area. It was exhausting work; the guys were getting tired just watching. Then they noticed some large, smooth, rounded boulders and they had a great idea! They could sit on top of the boulders and get a better view of their wives working. This was the first in a series of breakthroughs that ulti- mately led to television...and later to the remote control. ____________________________________________ Brotha Steve writes and tells me this is a true story. Recently I was in a restaurant having breakfast. A woman came in and said she needed to get a "to-go order." She said she was in a hurry because she had to get online and talk . . . "to her AOL friends." (She actually said those very words.) She then ordered eggs, potatoes, and toast. When asked if she wanted bacon, she replied, "No, I don't eat pork. But I would like a double order of sausages, please."
