Server Problems and Viruses
I’m a little behind in my posting today due to multiple computer problems. My web hosting company is working on their issues and 2 of my computers got infected somehow eventhough I’ve got all the latest stuff to block it, including a hardware firewall. It just proves that anyone can get attacked.

Beef Checkoff Turning 20
Jo Ann Smith is one of my favorite people. Boy does seeing this picture make me miss Florida. Jo Ann was the first Chairman of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board back in 1986. It’s been twenty years.
