World UFO Day

World UFO Day is an awareness day for people to gather together and watch the skies for unidentified flying objects. The day is celebrated by some on June 24, and others on July 2.

June 24 is the date that aviator Kenneth Arnold reported what is generally considered to be the first unidentified flying object sighting in the United States, while July 2 commemorates the supposed UFO crash in the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident.

The stated goal of the July 2 celebration is to raise awareness of "the undoubted existence of UFOs" and to encourage governments to declassify their files on UFO sightings.

SIFTERS

Speaking of why one writes, Beckett opines:

"James Joyce was a synthesizer trying to bring in as much as he could, I am an analyzer, trying to leave out as much as I can."

Neither of them lived long enough to experience our information-overload times:where synthesizing and analyzing are both almost impossible.

Bloggers, like all contemporary writers, are called to be Sifters of all this information overload! Onward with the Sifting so!!!

"Normal"

Changes have been made to the global “normal” template.

Do you want to save those changes?

Yes.  Yes, I do want to save the changes to the global “normal” template.  I probably like the new “normal” better than the old one.  If not --- hey, it’s just a template:  I can change it anytime I want.

Your changes cannot be saved.

What?! I want to learn more about this.  Why can’t I save changes to the global “normal” template?
