Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, And Nobody - humor and jokes about life: "Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, And Nobody


This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done"

My grandfather Longshanks

This is awesome. The geniuses at the Mormon church put together the FamilySearch.org web site. A quick call to Dad got me to a deceased relative on his mother's side, and a few hours later I learned that Shakespeare's King Malcolm had a few kids who had a few kids, and a few years later one of them had me.

This one is fun: search for Ancestors. Then add Wesley Smith, Father's name Isaac. My great grandfather was born in 1888 in Idaho. Now click on the right arrows to skip three at a time of the following:
Wesley Ensign Smith's Mother
Harriet Camilla Ensign's Mother
Mary Adaline Dunn's Mother
Adaline Rawson's Mother
Betsy Carpenter's Father
Elihu Carpenter's Father
Eleazer Carpenter's Father
Daniel Carpenter's Father
William Carpenter's Father
William Carpenter's Mother
Susanna Trivilian's Mother
Urith Chichester's Father
John Chichester's Mother
Elizabeth Bourchier's Father
John Bourchier (Earl of Bath)'s Father
Fulke Bourchier's Father
William Bourchier's Mother
Anne Plantagenet's Father
Thomas Prince of England's Father
Edward III King of England's Father
Edward II King of England's Father
Edward I (Longshanks) King of England

I am a bit discouraged by the disclaimer:
Ancestral File is a collection of genealogical information taken from Pedigree Charts and Family Group Records submitted to the Family History Department since 1978. The information has not been verified against any official records. Since the information in Ancestral File is contributed, it is the responsibility of those who use the file to verify its accuracy.

But it's pretty interesting anyway. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.

This morning 120 people worked at CMS. Tonite it's 65.

What a tough day for a lot of people. How do you console those on their way to a rough couple of weeks (months?)?

My belief is that a change like this is a blessing in disguise for most people. I hope time proves me right. A good friend of mine once called me a 'feet-lander'. I believe that comment is more applicable to the human race. Darwin had some theories about this I think. Adaptation is a very strong trait, and the fact that we are here, breathing, reading this, is testament to an inner strength that has kept evolution going strong for millions of years.

Maybe sometimes it takes a big jolt like this to spur people to take a big step towards improving their lives.

My previous layoff education has been insufficient. Many smart people lost their jobs today. Many hard-working people lost their jobs today. And some of them were both. While a fortunate set of circumstances let me keep mine. And I'm lazy. And not that smart in what I do.

I hope I can learn a lot from this.

That's all I have to say right now.

Cost of War

Cost of War: "'Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.'
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953"

If you have not seen this 'cost of war' counter, check it out. I appreciate the comparison to the # of additional teachers that could have been hired for ONE YEAR.

Boing Boing: Philly prepares to offer free WiFi citywide

Boing Boing: Philly prepares to offer free WiFi citywide: "Philly prepares to offer free WiFi citywide
Exciting news in Pennsylvania today, after reports of many bureaucratic challenges -- Philadelphia has reached an agreement with Verizon that will allow the city to offer free WiFi as a sort of public utility. Free like liberty, free like beer."

This is excellent. I wonder which utilities should be free. What would happen if power, water, etc. were free, too? What is their motive? To get more tourists? More residents? To set an example, akin to Calif's leading many environmental charges? I like it.
