 Good Morning, Do! Today is Thursday, June 21 Longest day of the year! That always makes me sad. The weather is going to get hotter, but the days will get shorter. I don't really work outside much anymore, it's just a hang over from my youth. Oh, well, I will get over it by December 21, when the days will get longer again. Have FUN!

"Whenever we need her, we just go out there and get her." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Austin Cooper, 21, Willingboro, New Jersey  NJ Dealer charged with homicide after 15-year-old customer's heroin overdose  A suspected heroin dealer was charged with homicide on Monday after one of his customers a 15-year-old girl fatally overdosed just after Christmas last year. Austin Cooper, 21, of Willingboro, was charged with first-degree strict liability for drug-induced death, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement. On December 26, a family member found Madison McDonald unresponsive at her home in Evesham Township's Marlton section. She was barely alive and transported to Virtua Marlton Hospital, and later flown to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She died on December 28. Authorities investigating McDonald's death found that Cooper delivered 10 bags of heroin to the home before she died. He was charged at the time possessing and dealing heroin. Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina has pledged to "aggressively" pursue the strict liability charge when possible in prosecution, to help fight the opioid epidemic. On that charge, a dealer can face 10 to 20 years in state prison, as opposed to three to five years for drug distribution. 
 Tech Support Pits From: Ana Re: Interac  Dear Webby I keep getting these emails looking like they are from Interac claiming that somebody, whose name I have never heard of, had sent me money. Well, nobody ever sends money to me, so I just let MailWasher dump it. Mailwasher flags it as bad. Is there the slightest chance that one of Hillary's buddies is trying to send me money to mess with the next election? I doubt it. So, what is that stuff? Ana  Dear Ana Trust MailWasher. It is just spam from Russia. I get it too. It LOOKS like an Interac notice, but with wacky spelling in the hidden header. Just let MailWasher dump it, and most definitely don't click on anything in those fake Interac notices. Have FUN DearWebby

The farmer tells him "I don't need a tractor, I have three new ones at the barn" Well if you have three new tractors at the barn, why are you plowing this field with that bull, asked the salesman ?
