 [Wounded Warriors Can Recover] Seeking freedom from the oppression and terror of a Communist run government, my family escaped and was accepted by the United States. My younger sister and I arrived in Mr. Donnelly’s classroom in Marathon as refugees, unable to speak nor understand English. He energetically welcomed us with compassion and loving kindness in front of all his students. We felt safe and protected in his presence. Mr. Donnelly’s students followed his lead, as did the rest of the students at school, many of them befriend us. Our new lives began that day. Along with being a Purple Heart Veteran, Mr. Donnelly is an intelligent and accomplished teacher. I’m grateful he recovered enough from his war wounds to be there for us, our family and the many students that he’s served throughout his life. Perhaps there’s a medal at the White House that President Biden could award Mr. Donnelly and others like him. Individuals that selflessly serve and sacrifice for the sheer joy of improving and uplifting the lives of others. |

 [Birds-Eye View of Keys] I had the pleasure to fly over the Keys six times. The flying school had a strict rule that flying over the water was out of the question. We weren’t allowed to fly into the Miami ATCA either. So, from Sanford it was over the Everglades to the tip of Florida, follow the Keys to Key West, quick lunch and then follow the same route but in reverse back to Sanford. I was never worried about Fat Albert, but flying over the Everglades was slightly different. I was thinking about the alligators, snakes and whatever else was lurking there. That was back in 1990-1991~Ari Juhani Seaman |

| [Screensavers] Is there any reason to use a screensaver anymore? It’s kind of weird that a feature most people haven’t regularly used in two decades still exists on our computers. Why do screensavers still exist? And, come to think of it, why were they created in the first place? Link |

 [Fart Man] You thought you were having a bad day? On Jan. 14, as an American Airlines flight prepared to leave Phoenix for Austin, Texas, the crew was forced to turn back to the gate. No, a door didn’t fall off the fuselage. A passenger posted on Reddit that an “audibly disgruntled” man boarded and sat down, then inexplicably exclaimed, “You thought that was rude? Well, how about this smell” — and then passed gas. Then he announced, “Yeah, everybody, let’s just eat the smelliest food possible all at the same time!” A flight attendant told the flatulent man, “That’s enough,” but as the plane taxied to the runway, it stopped. The Reddit user shared: “We get back to the gate and a flight attendant comes back and informs fartman that he will not be staying on this flight.” He grabbed his bag and deplaned; the flight was delayed by only about 20 minutes. |

| [Friday Joke] My buddy got arrested on drug charges and because it was his first offense, he thought he would get off lightly, but it turned out his lawyer was one of the worst in the state and ended up botching his case, so instead of getting a short term, he ended up getting 40 years without parole! (That sentence was way too long.) |
 This giant dragon was seated above us at Broil on Cudjoe Key. I thought it too rude to shoot it down while people were paying a hundred bucks for a steak. |
