๐Ÿ˜‚Joke of the Day๐Ÿ˜ฒ

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for 2 weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan. So, the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls-Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank. She has the title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls-Royce as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. 

     Two weeks later, the blonde returns to repay the $5,000 and $15 interest. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. We checked you out and found out that you're a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" 

     The blonde replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for only $15 and expected to be there when I return?"

๐Ÿ•™Our Tenth Year of Publishing the WNTS Digest ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Memory Lane

WNTS Digest - 10th Anniversary

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 didnโ€™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 โ€˜Weatherโ€™ 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 itsโ€™ own page, which later became a contest for Pet of the Month. The static graphic that referenced something in The Digest became โ€œWhy Nutts!!โ€ and transitioned into a YouTube related video to something I referenced in The Digest. We added a โ€˜Quote of the Dayโ€™ but transitioned that into โ€˜Joke of the Dayโ€™ 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!!
