This comes to mind every time I get frustrated operating a computer or a copy machine that malfunctions. Paper jams can't just happen so frequently without there being something more to it.

Good Morning Humans
I just hopped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Seem fair to middling but I currently regret the fresh jalapeños I had on my burger and cheese fries last night. I guess the old saying “This too shall pass” originated from a somewhat similar situation.
Anyway, Happy Sunday! I am skipping mass today for a family event out of town so add in “Heathen” to my naughty list, if you’re keeping track.
Otherwise, have a fantastic day. Go do something good for you on this day of rest.
