1:37 p.m. Weekly record blog number for April 3-9: 26,172 for an average of 3739 per day.

12:42 p.m. Remember yesterday’s bumpersnicker: “You can accomplish more with a kind word and a gun … Then you can with a kind word alone”? Milt Nelson /Rathdrum knows who said it first: Al Capone .

12:30 p.m. Kristin Hoppe /Not So Fast provides a link that questions conventional wisdom that illegal aliens do jobs Americans won’t here .

9:47 a.m. Cis scored big last night on the Wild Card by asking the other commenters/bloggers to describe their first job and pay. If you haven’t done so, you can add your comment below. Me? Hauling, raking and bailing hay for $1 per hour. First check: $100 for 100 hours work — and Mom took 3/4s of it for groceries. (BTW, if you have a good idea for a morning or afternoon question, don’t hesitate to e-mail me about it. Cis’ was terrific.)

9:30 a.m. Geo, Toadman & others confirmed I’m not a computer geek; to be a computer geek, you not only have to spend time on a computer, but you have to know how to program the dang thing. Whew!
