Today’s news and information gleanings from here and there!

Today’s quote … “Cows have to get milked every day.” – the opening line at this Website about owning a herd of cows. Delivery of services is the same as owning a herd of cows, you have to show up every day – doesn’t matter whether the business is a restaurant, bus company, newspaper or whatever.

These “scenes seen” yesterday include (from top left, hydrant flushing at the Columbia Water Company – or maybe they company is just getting rid of excess water?; a tree loaded with leaves; some of the remaining trees but they’ve lost their leaves; the three-holer for trash, minus one of the covers and trash discarded by someone who doesn’t care.

• LNP – Always Lancaster‘s online “e-edition” is “inop” this morning. A call for service produced nothing. Now it’s 9:43 am and it’s still not available; two calls to Customer service with only “h-m-m-m, let me see if I have any information on that.”)

• Meanwhile, online newspaper sites in York, Lebanon, Reading and Harrisburg (and LIPnews and NewsLanc) are working – when the Customer is paying for the service / product, showing up consistently is everything.
