Kneehill County, AB. March 29/23 ____________________________________________________ A teenager was sitting in church, and when the collection plate was passed around, he quickly pulled a dollar bill from his pocket and dropped it in. Just then, the person behind him tapped him on his shoulder and handed him a $20 bill. The boy smiled, placed the $20 in the plate and passed it on, admiring that the man was being generous. Then the boy felt another tap from behind and heard a whisper: "Son," the man said, "that was your $20 bill that had fallen out of your pocket." ___________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been reported by Rock Marissa Kohl, Delray Beach, Florida, USA ARREST REPORT: Three Time Legal Limit. A Delray Beach woman is facing a DUI charge after she allegedly told a police dispatcher that she left the area of an alleged domestic dispute in Uber because she had been drinking, but returned to the scene and left in her own car. She was later stopped in the area of 3911 West Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says Marissa Kohl of Stirling Bridge Blvd. North in Delray Beach eventually had issues completing a field sobriety test, then provided breath samples that registered .253 and .244. The legal limit in Florida is .08. Wrote an arresting officer: When I originally made contact with Kohl at the address listed above she had glossy eyes and would slur her speech while she was talking to me. Kohl had the odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. During the traffic stop approximately an hour later I observed the same indicators from Kohl, her eyes were still glossy, she was slurring her speech and the odor of an alcoholic beverage was still present. While speaking with Kohl at the rear of her vehicle she was unsteady on her feet and tried to lean against her car for balance. Kohl was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on Tuesday evening, then released Wednesday on her own recognizance. A court date is pending. _________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Claire Re: Why PDF? Dear DearWebby Why PDF? I think it is a real pain in the nuisance. Why can't people use text or doc or HTML? Claire Dear Claire PDF ensures that no matter what kind of printer you use, the document will look the same. Once upon a time, when most peop-le used different dot-matrix printer, that was important. Today's printers accomplsh the same or more. For example you can select "Print to fit" and it will shrink or enlarge a page to just fit your seleted paper. While that excuse is no longer valid, many companies still use it. Another reason for PDF is that it is basically a picture. That makes it difficult to mark a bill "PAID" or edit the amounts due. "Difficult", not impossible. We have many programs nowadays, that allow you to edit PDF files. Modern PDF allows you to make forms with editable fields. You can enter your name, for example, and your address, but you can not edit the small print. While I agree that PDF files can be a real nuisance, they are not going to go away anytime soon.
