The DN

1   I'm astounded.

2   I suffer from CRS and NOBODY knows or cares.

3   Bitches.

4   I've had it for a while, and it floors me the guesses.

5   "Oh...it stands for Catholic Relief Services."

6   <basketball buzzer> That's not something you have; that's something you give to.

7   "Who doesn't know what CRS is? Congressional Research Service (Library of Congress, duh!)."

8   YAHHH..nope?

9   Mr. Peabody?

11   

"CRS is an independent importer and distributor of electronic cash registers, POS terminals, printers, POS peripherals and parts and supplies. The supply independent dealers nationwide and throughout the western hemisphere, in addition to serving merchants directly in Minnesota."

12                                        

13  You're off by about fifteen kilometers.

15

16   It is something you get. Don't you get it?

17   

18   Evidently not. 

19   Perhaps you should ask Sherman. Let's go to good ol' Wiki: O Wiki, dominator of All Knowledge That Is <All Knowledge That Is> : What IS CRS? <pause, as seconds pass> <long buffering> <the answer arrives>

20  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Science and technology:

• Cambridge Reference Sequence, used in mitochondrial DNA testing.
• Canada Remote Systems, a now defunct bulletin board system based in Toronto.
• Carrier Routing System, a large-scale core router.
• Caudal regression syndrome, a rare congenital disorder.
• Center for Resource Solutions, a renewable energy policy nonprofit.
• Cold Rolled Slitter.
• Computer reservations system (or Central Reservation System), a computerised [sik] system used for travel bookings. 
• Coordinate reference system, used to locate geographical travel bookings.
• Chinese restaurant syndrome, purportedly caused by the flavor enhancer glutamate.
• Seychellois Creolee (ISO 639-3 language code, a French-based creole language of the Seychelles).
• Common reference string, in cryptography.

21   Hoo, boy, now you know why we can't trust Wiki!

22  Okay.

23   For those of you clinging to your seats:

24   CRS stands for this:

27   Can't Remember Shit.

31  Whatttttttttttt?

32  Are ya kiddin' me here?

33   

34   Nah. Just being frivolous and frisky.

35

36   M'bad.

37   I GET it, I GET it, I GETTTTTT it.

38   

39   Sorry.

40   I periodically set up stupid stuffs.

41   Forgive me, for I have sinned. 

42   And...

43   Forgive me, for I have sinned. 

44   Anybody lookin'?

45   Doesn't matter.

46   I forget who reads this stuff half the time.

47   I sure appreciate the supporters.

48   Moving On, Part One: Last night I awakened in the middle of the night (no way!) and decided to go on our school website to see if students needed any last-minute advice before they turn in a massive magazine project, which is due today.

49   A freshman girl turned in a magazine that she designed online. It had templates for different pages, a place to grab pictures and put them in, interactive links, and all sorts of other buzzers and whistles. 

50   She got it using a free app called Joomag, and it is a dandy. 

51   It is clear she put just as much effort into her mag as most of the other students, but it looked sensational, and as she put it, green! No paper. 

52  I instantly signed up for it, and I hope to figure out how to use it when time. 

53  My hope is to get the DN to work like that, much the same as I  changed from Xanga to Blogger. I had to experiment a lot and I still don't know how to use this thing (I don't know how to make each link it's own, for instance. If you click the link for my piece on 9/11 it will bring today's piece up.) 

54  It isn't laziness, it's just I'm learning how to use three or four new devices already, and I get annoyed by the pop-ups and spam that come with all that. 

55   So we shall see. 

56   Finally, my heart sank this morning when I saw film of the fire in Weed, California. I just visited Weed recently when I vacationed with my good friends John and Effie. Charming town that is as rugged as you can get, but great people, very down-to-Earth.

      It's a lumber town named after a guy named

Abner Weed, who founded the local lumber mill in 1897, buying the Siskiyou Lumber and Mercantile Mill as well as 280 acres for $400. The mill is the heart of the town and is a major source of income for many residents. Hopefully they will get it under control; I assume these hearty people will stand and re-build.

57   Okay, gottago.

58   Hope you enjoyed today's edition. I've already forgotten what I wrote.

59   See you again.

60   Peace.
