Curtrail Hudson, 20, was sentenced Thursday in Jackson County Circuit Court, the Kansas City Star reported. A jury found Hudson guilty in February of second-degree murder and five other charges in the April 2018 shooting that killed 38-year-old Xindong Hao. Hao arrived in the city with his wife and four young children shortly before the shooting to join fellow missionaries at the International House of Prayer. The evangelical groups headquarters is near the scene of the shooting. Investigators have said Hao was walking when he encountered Hudson, then 18, who was randomly shooting at people. Two other people were wounded before Hudson was arrested. Hudson told police he believed Hao was an accomplice of another man hed been arguing with moments before. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Frank RE: Analog clock Dear Webby, I used to have that neat analog clock in the corner of my screen, until Microsoft freaked about scam ware being distributed by the same download site,that had the clock. and blocked ALL gadgets. I know the clock was clean but they just overreacted and threw the baby out with the bath water. Somebody said that they sobered up, pirated the clock, and are now offering it themselves. Is that true, and hod do I get it? Thanks Frank Dear Frank Yes, all of that is true. And they DID find and pirate copy the tossed out baby. It is now included in Windows! They even allowed some of the other favorites from the same era, like the calendar. Right-click on the desktop, Select Gadgets (second item from mthe bottom up) In there are the clock and the calendar. You can adjust how opaque or transparent you want them without uninstalling them. It is all back just like we had it in XP. Have FUN! DearWebby | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ Thanks to Mary for this one: One frigid morning in New Mexico a man turned up at work much the worse for wear. "I didn't sleep a wink," he told a coworker. "I was up all night trying to keep my wife's begonia covered against the freezing cold." "I should be so lucky," his coworker replied. "When it's this cold my wife wears so damn many clothes to bed, I can't get anywhere near her begonia." ____________________________________________ A two and a half year old walked into the bathroom while her mother was putting on make-up. "I'm going to look just like you mommy!" she announced. "Maybe, when you grow up," her mother told her. "No Mommy, tomorrow. I just put on that 'Oil of Old Lady' you always use." ____________________________________________ The old man was a witness in a burglary trial. The defense lawyer asks Sam, "Did you see my client commit this burglary?" "Yes," said Sam , "I saw him plainly take the goods." The lawyer asks Sam again, "Sam, this happened at night. Are you sure you saw my client commit this crime?" "Yes" says Sam, "I saw him do it." Then the lawyer asks Sam, "Sam listen, you are 80 years old and your eyesight probably is bad. Just how far can you see at night?" Sam says, "I can see the moon, how far is that?" ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
