With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then teasingly held it out. The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a grinning little old lady standing beside her.

 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Kenneth Gleason, 23, Baton Rouge, Louisiana  Louisiana man arrested for killing two black men may have been racially motivated.  A Louisiana man accused of killing two black men in what may have been racially motivated attacks last week reportedly had a copy of an Adolf Hitler speech in his home. A police source, speaking to The Associated Press, confirmed the unsettling discovery by authorities at the Baton Rouge home of Kenneth Gleason. The 23-year-old, reportedly an Eagle Scout, faces two counts of first-degree murder for the separate shootings. Authorities declined to comment on the discovery of a speech by the Nazi leader or on a possible motive in the killings at a Tuesday news conference, saying only that they're looking into all possibilities at this time, including whether the killings were motivated by racism. Hitler had made thousands of speeches and until he went nuts after England turned his traditional European border re- alignements into a World War, he was considered quite smart even though he was a socialist. He was even New York Times Man Of The Year. Some people analyzed his speeches and compared them to Hillary`s campaign speeches. Until he went nuts, his speeches were mostly about socialism and rebuilding after WWI. Baton Rouge police Sgt. L'Jean McKneely had previously told the AP that there was a strong possibility that it could be racially motivated. Gleason was arrested over the weekend on unrelated drug charges after authorities said they linked his red car to the deaths of 59-year-old Bruce Cofield on Sept. 12 and 49- year-old Donald Smart on Sept. 14. Police had said that the victims, who were shot first from a car and then again at close range, appeared targeted at random. Gleason posted bail Sunday on the drug charges before being arrested again in the slaying investigation as well as for suspicion of aggravated criminal damage for a third shooting in which a gunman fired at the home of a black family in Gleason's neighborhood. Police said shell casings recovered from the scenes matched and that Gleason's DNA was found on some of them. A conviction on the murder charges could bring a death sentence, said East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore III, who described the attacks as cold and calculated. Had there not been a swift conclusion to this case, I feel confident that this killer probably would have killed again, said Interim Police Chief Jonny Dunnam. Gleason, who was seen wearing what appeared to be a T-shirt for the Boy Scouts' rugged Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico during his arrest Tuesday, earned the top Eagle Scout rank in 2012 after completing a construction project for a United Methodist Church, according to The Advocate in Baton Rouge.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Bill Re: Adding .ico picture to email Dear Webby, As you can see, after all these years thanks to you, I am able to add a signature to my Eudora e-mails. I failed to copy an .ico of my dog to the signature. How do I do this? Thanks. Bill  Dear Bill You have to use standard picture formats. .ico is not standard, it is actually .bmp, a totally obsolete format from the 80's, but Microsoft used it in Windows 1, and has not figured out yet how to change that to a standard format. A 640 x 480 .bmp picture filled an entire 3.5" floppy disk. I used to travel with two shoe boxes filled with disks to use with my camera. That is how obsolete that format is. You can rename that .ico picture to .bmp, and then use any decent graphics program to convert it to .jpg Then you can use it in your signature block just like the mug shot that I use in my signature block. Have FUN! DearWebby    
 A psychiatrist who had tired of listening to the assorted troubles and dreams that poured from his consulting couch, rigged up a tape recorder. Explaining to his patients that he could analyze a case better this way, he would turn on the machine, tell the patient to keep talking and quietly slip out for a beer. This worked well for a while, but one day he looked up from his beer to see the patient who was supposed to be upstairs on the couch. "What are you doing here?" asked the doctor. "Well, Doc," said the patient, "I've taped my dreams and stuff for the last couple of days, and now my tape recorder is upstairs talking to your tape recorder."

We have a hard time talking (just not much to talk about), so I pick a joke or two from your list and send them to him. That way even if there isn't much to say, I can send him a little humor. Thanks. Chuck  Hi Chuck You can tell your son that I am thinking about him and am grateful for what he does for us. You can also tell him about the red notice I put up every Friday to wear a bit of red to show support for the troops. Have FUN! DearWebby ____________________________________________________
