Dogs teach us many things

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your
face to be pure ecstasy.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady
tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the
guilt thing and pout ... run right back and make friends.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had
enough.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by
and nuzzle them gently.

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing
several paintings from the Louvre.  However, after
planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he
was captured only 2 blocks away when his Econoline van
ran out of gas.  When asked how he could mastermind such
a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:
"Alas, I had no Monet to buy Degas to make ze Van Gogh."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD
has been earned by 

Edgar Roman,
25,
Albany Park,
Chicago,
Illinois,
USA

Mother dragged to death by 
hit-and-run driver who circled 
back to strike her again

A driver struck a mother and daughter Monday on the Near
North Side while making a U-turn, only to drive around
the block and strike the mother again, dragging her to
her death for a half block, according to police.

Witnesses told investigators that Edgar Roman, of Albany
Park, was parked on southbound State Street at 10:30 p.m.
when he made a U-turn at Hubbard Street and struck a 55-
year-old woman and her daughter, police said.

Roman, 25, continued driving north on State, turned right
on Illinois and circled back to the initial crash,
striking the 55-year-old woman again, police said

The Arizona woman was dragged about half a block and was
pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. 

"It was a gruesome scene and I personally didn't want to
get too close," said Anthony Smith.

Smith told ABC7 he saw the SUV hit the women, take off,
then return, striking the mother a second time as he
helped rush the daughter to safety. Police have not
confirmed if the suspect hit anyone multiple times.
"My husband and I saw it out our window, we live above
and we see everything happening, we can hear it all,"
said Alice Hampton. "It is now to the point of being
incredibly upsetting, it is just traumatic."

Officers nearby tried to stop Roman but he sped off and
crashed through a barricade onto Merchandise Mart Plaza,
police said.

An hour later, Roman walked into the 17th District police
station, 4650 N. Pulaski Rd., in Albany Park and claimed
to be the victim of a carjacking, police said.

Officers recognized him as matching the description of
the suspect in the fatal hit-and-run and took him in for
questioning, police said. He was later charged with
murder, two counts of attempted murder, leaving the scene
of an accident and false reporting of an incident.

The woman's granddaughter told a television station in
Phoenix that she was an "innocent person that is just so
sweet, doesn't hurt anyone. She always makes sure
everyone's good before herself."

The woman's daughter-in-law Stephanie Logue said her
daughter was also hit by the driver, and suffered broken
arms and ribs.

Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) on Tuesday claimed the hit-and-
run was tied to reckless driving of looters downtown,
although detectives hadn't yet confirmed that.

RE: Second monitor


Dear Webby
My daughter uses two monitors at her work, and I really
like that. Since monitors are really cheap now, I got a
used one for a song.
How do I set it up on my W7 ?
Ellen

Dear Ellen
Look how your existing monitor is set up.
Most likely it is connected with a standard 15 pin plug.
If it is, then you need one of the new DVI monitor
cables. They are wider, have more pins, and have a blank
section on one side.
They cost about the same, around $10.
Modern monitors have sockets for both types,
and so do computers.

Leave the existing cable in place, and use the other type
of cable for the new monitor. You also have to connect
the power cable.

Once it is plugged in, it should show something.
Right-click in any blank place on the Windows 7 desktop
and choose Screen Resolution. You see the Display
Settings dialog box, where you can set up multiple
monitors. Click the 1 box to set up your first monitor
and 2 to set up the second. 
You can swap them around. 

If the new monitor is dark when you come back from making
coffee, don't panic.
That is just a power saving feature, that you can change
in Windows, Modern monitors take about as much
electricity as your alarm clock, so I would not worry
about that. If it is set to turn off when you are away,
just move the mouse and the picture will light up again.

Have FUN!

Bill grinned at her and said, "Well, it WOULD be

Audrey called in a repairman to fix her electric clock.
He examined it and told her, "There's nothing wrong with
the clock. You didn't have it plugged in."

Audrey replied, "I don't want to waste electricity, so I
only plug it in when I want to know what time it is."
