Howdee! Thought I was going to get today's Coffee Break out in the last couple of days, but Embarq has been having some server issues during the past week or so, and yesterday someone cut a fiber optic cable near the Columbia River, and that shut us down for nearly 24 hours.

G'Mornin'! Just printed out a copy of Kingdom Economics XXII this morning and realized that I was a bit windier than normal (!). I usually print out my Coffee Breaks the day they are written and posted, but our printer was down, and we were waiting for the Xerox guy to get here. Anyway, the extra length in XXII made up for the shortness of XX.
