CHANGE FOR BETTER SERVICE
Have you ever noticed that the typewriter keyboard places the most frequently used keys far apart from each other? The purpose of this arrangement was to slow down the typing speed. Keys on the machines of the 1800s used to jam if the typist went too fast.
About 40 years ago, the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard was developed. On this keyboard, the most frequently used keys were in the home row, and the right hand did 56 percent more work than the left. Typists using this keyboard could increase their speed up to five times without increasing in error.
Still, we continue with a keyboard designed to be inefficient. Why? We don't like changes. Mark Twain once said, "Only a wet baby welcomes a change."
However, today's military requires innovative, out-of-the-box thinking. Whether we like it or not, we change every day.
Prayer: Almighty God. Help us to be more creative, thoughtful, and pro-active in serving our country. Amen.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Cindy.
Happy cruising.
I’m about ready to pack it in....not much sleep last night. A couple leg cramps were quite annoying.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep all of us free and safe.
Thanks, unique, for the pastries.
Coffee is always on........
How about a donut?
Cookies?
Veggies?
Sandwich?

I’m sorry to hear that Kathy.
Try taking warm milk with D3 Calcium supplement before bed — that might alleviate the leg cramps.
Such a bummer when that happens.

I just might give that a try, especially if it happens more.
