bump, thump, stump

 I did a good deed today


`Yesterday Jackie heard a bump noise in the kitchen.  I did not find anything.  A little later Julia went to let Beth out and found a bird on the patio.

    The little sparrow was alive, but not able to fly.

    I am guessing the noise Jackie heard was the bird flying into our patio doors.

    I picked it up, carried it into the garage, put a towel in a box and set the birdie in the box.  I put some bird seed in as well.

    This morning the bird was gone.  Sort of.  I found it sitting on the windowsill.  Then it flew to sit on my bicycle.  I had all the garage doors open but it took a while to leave.

    I felt good about that.

    And today was Groundhog Day.  Little critter is predicting an early spring or 6 more weeks of winter, depending on where it lives.

    I think early spring.  I know it is early pothole season because they are showing up everywhere.  I have hit a few thumps already.  And yesterday I stepped in what I thought was water on the pavement when in fact it was. 3 inch deep pothole.  My socks got wet.

    I had an e mail I wanted to print.

    It was about 6 pages, so I hit the print button.

    I did not realize there were an amazing number of pages after the few I wanted.  The printer kept printing, and printing, and printing.

    I went into the icon and clicked on the x, cancelling the printing.

    It kept printing and printing.

    I opened the paper drawer, but when I closed it, it started printing. And printing.

    I can't find a way to stop it from printing!

    What I have been doing is taking the already printed pages with lines on them and feeding them back into the paper tray.

    But how do I end the print job? 

    I have tried everything.  I am stumped.

    I finally turned it off.  Maybe that will end the nightmare.

    Otherwise I guess I will be printing the rest of my life.

Peace and Love
