Lucy's Back

Lucy, our car's GPS device, was resurrected today. Snapping to life as soon as electrical current buzzed her microcircuits, she started spouting directions even before being fully booted up. She's making up for lost time. For the past two days she could not find a signal until a half hour elapsed. I had visions of giving her a decent burial near the duck pond, but no, she's back. Could it have been a temporary satellite problem?

Since they too are electrical devices

I wouldn't be at all surprised.

 After the meeting this evening a brother I had not spoken to before approached me and said, "Hello, Edwin." It puzzled me. I introduce myself as Ed Sheppard. How did he learn my name was Edwin? Well, he didn't. What he really said was, "Hello.    Edwin." He was telling me his name, and was waiting for me to tell him mine. I said, "Hello.    Edwin." As perhaps you can imagine, it's always a great pleasure for me to meet another Edwin. This is about the third time in my life it's happened. Edwin found it a pleasant surprise too.

And I've made a real friend with Qis. He comes over to speak with me at every meeting. He's a smart little fellow and very likeable.
