Established 2015. Celebrating Our Tenth Year of Publication
Larry is 75 years old and has played golf every day since his retirement 15 years ago. One day, he arrives home looking downcast. "That's it," he tells his wife, "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball, I can't see where it landed."
His wife sympathizes with him and makes him a cup of tea. As they sit down, she suggests, "Why don't you take my brother with you next time?"
"Aw, that's no good," Larry sighs, "your brother is 85, he can't help."
"He may be 85," says his wife, "but his eyesight is perfect."
So, the next day, Larry heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law. He tees up, takes a mighty swing and squints down the fairway. He turns to his brother-in-law and asks, "Did you see where the ball went?"
"Of course, I did," answers his brother-in-law, "I have perfect eyesight!"
"Well, where did it go?" Larry asks.
His brother-in-law replies... "I don't remember."
See you tomorrow!!

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. In the lobby, they had a chalk board of 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 didnโt 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 is still has the basic constructs I started out with. The โWeatherโ report was discontinued due to not having a viable good option for displaying current conditions and forecast. Perhaps that will change and the weather will be put back in. If it is, it would be better on the home page and not The Digest. But, 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 โWhy Nutts!!โ and transitioned into a YouTube related video to something I referenced in The Digest. We added a โQuote of the Dayโ but transitioned that into โJoke of the Dayโ.
And that is how we got here and looking for the next ten years!!
