I just lost Mark Davis talking about The Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution. Let me just say this. Two hours per episode is too much when it can be done in one. Fancy paintings and all the Hollywood stars doing voice-overs to get in on the action. Were supposed to be enamored with his intellectual prowess and dared to sit through his worthy efforts.

Ken Burns is the old aristocrat saying “Pass the Pollen All-fruit”.
The rest of us are saying “Could you please pass the jelly?”

From what I am hearing, it isn't the only credit union. Why would any financial institute tie itself to Cloudflare?

The cloud is liable to do what clouds do. Dissipate. LOL.

“Cloudflare, the world’s leading web infrastructure and security company”

And single point of failure, with airtight terms of service that absolve them from any liability anywhere, in any way, shape, or form.

Would this affect the VA portal?

Because I can’t get on it this morning to check on my prescriptions.

I like to think of it as the gift of a small reminder to put down all the distractions and take a brief walk without all the noise and flurry of the world intruding.

At least that's how it feels when I'm not seeing the bombarding of messages from other staff and clients about 'whats wrong'?
