State Auditor and Inspector Cindy Byrd’s release of the audit of Washington’s Town Hall came out just at the wrong time of the week for our weekly newspaper.

When you change an electronic device its like learning to walk again for us old codgers.

So I’m just ahead of the crawling stage breaking in a new lap top.

It’s like when you change phones.

Non-techies like myself have difficulty adjusting to new hardware and new software.

It’s just going to take some time and practice.

When the late July and August heat dome sets in, the weather is not for the faint of heart.
