Hello fellow Minions, it’s Monday again. Let’s have the best day possible. Love and peace to you all today.
It’s A Monday Minions!
Farewell David Gibbs, You Will Be Missed Friend
David Gibbs, a friend of the family, passed away on September 4th. This is a good man who loved God, family, community and his alma mater The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He is a kind and caring person who was a teacher, leader, organizer and musician, photographer and so much more.
David, who is on the left and my dad, who is on the right, are a couple of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs alumni and fans who are reunited in heaven. I predict they are talking about football, basketball, and so many other things. I hope my dad is taking David to the best tailgate locations in heaven. Rest in peace, David. I miss you, dad.
Be Kind Online
I make a good effort to be kind online. However, some things people say need to be challenged, but that can be done without being a total jerk. Some of the comments I see online are really inappropriately cruel. It’s the security of an always on connection to the Internet and a keyboard that makes being mean possible. It’s important that we are all human beings. Be kind to one another, but remember to focus on justice and peace for everyone above all. Love and grace to us all.
Daily Prompt – How Do I Relax?
I answered this daily prompt in August of last year. I am revisiting it to say the things that cause me not to relax are still present. I do what I can to relax, but it’s hard for me. Being able to relax is important, and it’s taking me awhile to figure out to do more of it. But when I do relax I like to blog, watch TV, listen to podcasts, and cook breakfast on a Saturday morning. I do enjoy working on computer stuff too.
Visit my post from last year to see how I answered this question.
Windows 10, Your Time Has Come
Microsoft Windows 10 will reach its End of Support (EoS) on October 14, 2025. My wife’s computer this week had to be upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
At home, we are a Linux/Android/Chrome OS family so we don’t run Windows or iOS outside the office. We have some older hardware that would struggle to keep up with the resource hogs that are Windows machines.
I found this meme on Facebook that shows the lament of people who really liked Windows 7 and didn’t want to upgrade to Windows 10. Those same people now don’t want Windows 10 to go away. I like Windows 10, but I think my Linux Mint 22.2 Dell desktop works just fine for my needs. A lot of older hardware will fall by the wayside because of Windows 11’s heavy resource and technology demands.
It will be an interesting few days in October to see what people will do when they have to upgrade. I suggest Linux Mint because it is less bloated, and it’s a solid and familiar feel too. Of course, many will buy new machines when they don’t have to if they will embrace an alternative.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
