A man walked into a restaurant, with a full-grown ostrich behind him. As he sat down, the waitress came over, and asked for their orders. The man said, "I'll have a hamburger, fries, and a coke." Then, he turned to the ostrich, and asked, "What's yours?"
"I'll have the same," said the ostrich. A short time later, the waitress returned with the order saying, "That will be $6.40 please." So, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich came again, and the man said, "I'll have a hamburger, fries, and a coke." Then the ostrich said, "I'll have the same." Once again, the man reached into his pocket and paid with exact change.
This became a routine until late one evening, the two entered again. "The usual?" asked the waitress.
"No, it's Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and a salad," said the man. "Same for me," said the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress came with the order and said, "That will be $54.62 please."
Once again, the man pulled the exact change out of his pocket and placed it on the table. The waitress couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer... "Excuse me, sir, how do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your pocket every time?"
"Well," said the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and I found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes... My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."
"That's brilliant," said the waitress... "Most people would wish for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"
"That's right, whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," said the man.
The waitress asked, "One other thing, sir, what's with the ostrich?"
The man sighed, paused, and answered... "My second wish was for a tall chick, with long legs, who agrees with everything I say."

I started writing The Digest in the third quarter of 2015. I was filling in as temporary General Manager until we could find a permanent one to take over the leadership of the store. I had some time on my hands and was kicking around how to fill it when I remembered an idea I saw in a hotel in Winslow, Az. called La Posada. (Wonderful hotel BTW) In the lobby, they had a chalk board and on it was some simple trivia that happened on that day as well as the weather forecast of sunny, hot, cold rainy or whatever the day was going to bring. I stole some of those ideas and came up with the WNTS Digest. As I was temporarily living at the time in Why, I would spend some time each morning putting together those trivia facts, weather, a cute Pet Picture of the Day from Freekibble.com and an ad hoc picture of something I talked about in the Digest. I would then print the two pages out and tack it to our Bulletin Board in front of the store. The two pictures to the left are from a copy of the Digest that was published in or around February 2016. Eventually we found a permanent GM and I went back to my home in Northern California. A few months later, I was asked to stand up a website for the store and because I didn’t need to be at the site, I was able to do my work in California. When designing the site, I wanted to incorporate the concepts of The Digest. It had paused publication when I moved and here was an opportunity to bring it back in electronic form.

So, over the years, I made a few changes to the format, but it still has the basic constructs I started out with. The ‘Weather’ report is now the 'Current Weather' and is displayed as a widget on both the Home Page and The Digest. We kept Today in History, Born on this Day, Today is (national quirky holidays), moved Pet Picture of the Day to its’ own page, which later became a contest for Pet of the Month. The static graphic that referenced something in The Digest became “Why Nutts!!” and transitioned into a YouTube related video to something I referenced in The Digest. We added a ‘Quote of the Day’ but transitioned that into ‘Joke of the Day’ after I felt that the quotes were getting to bizarre, even for me.
And that is how we got here and looking for the next ten years!!
