Whoever coined the phrase, "the information highway", probably thought only of the steady stream of information which was being transmitted from point to point. The analogy applies to changes in the system, as highway construction. We had a detour while our bridge was out. Now we have bottlenecks, congestion and slow traffic, as we navigate through the construction zone. When the repairs are complete, we'll be zipping along, hoping the quilt police don't pull us over for speeding. Once we all get comfortable, driving on cruise control, repairs will again be needed. Change is inevitable. Sew, while we're passing through this construction zone, we should all take time to admire the scenery.
I noticed some new flowers along the road - the simile thingies . . . as the mouse runs over them, and explanation pops up. The icon shows a thumb down, but the explanation says, thumbs up. The icon with the thumb up has no explanation. The ignore button, for me, has always been the fast forward on my scroll bar.
Patrice, your absence was understood and forgiven yesterday. We missed you, talked briefly about the headache you must surely be enduring, and moved on to other subjects.
Thanks to all of you for taking the steps necessary to keep our highway intact, to the engineers who noticed that the structural integrity of our bridge was compromised, even though we may not have noticed, those who pushed for the funding of the project, the road crew, and those of you who are directing the traffic in the foul weather. May all of you find that booze button. Drinks are on the house. (after work)
