A smile for the day
While reading the SouthWest Writers Storyteller's Anthology (2013 edition) I came upon this poem. Now IF any of you took the leap this past year from Windows 7 to the FREE Windows 10 - I think you can relate to this poem.
CRASH by Peggy Spencer
Poor Wally's computer has gone on the blink,
He tried to upgrade it but what do you think,
The hard drive went wacko, the files disappeared,
His screen sent out sparks and the keyboard got weird.
Whenever he typed he got music, no joke,
His computer was fine, but now it's baroque.

THE WONDER OF NATURE: RACHEL CARSON
Ann Beyke becomes Rachel Carson in this presentation from the New Mexico Humanities Council.
"Perhaps the finest nature writer of the Twentieth Century, Rachel Carson (1907-1964) is remembered more today as the woman who challenged the notion
that humans could obtain mastery over nature by chemicals, bombs and space travel than for her studies of ocean life.
Her sensational book Silent Spring (1962) warned of the
dangers to all natural systems from the misuse of chemical pesticides such as DDT,
and questioned the scope and direction of modern science, initiated the contemporary environmental movement."
