    Can't see the image. When I paste the URL in another window, I get

    "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers" . :confused:

    Is it just me? Again? :(

    Thanks, Ken.

    That does it. I've had enough of Chrome. Right now I'm on Edge. Hope the re-learning curve is not too steep.

    (Sorry to go off topic in the middle of a thread.)

    I've been using Edge for Mac for the past couple of weeks, and I like it.

    Book Review: Beartown by Fredrik Backman

    "The story takes place in a small hockey-obsessed town surrounded by a rural forest in Sweden. It’s safe to say the place is slowly dying. Factories and shops are closing, people are moving away, and the only thing that really unites its people is hockey. From the beginning of the book, there’s a big semi-final game hanging over the head of the Beartown residents. If the team wins both the semi-final and the final, the town will be revitalized. The integrity of the entire community seems to lie in the success of its hockey team. The game feels a lot like this grey cloud looming in the distance, with an even heavier storm trudging behind it". (More)


    “If you are honest, people may deceive you. Be honest anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfishness. Be kind anyway. All the good you do today will be forgotten by others tomorrow. Do good anyway.”
