Thanks so much to them and to the dedicated folks who showed up to distribute: Mary Wallen, Dale Henke, Galen Crawford, Craig Kimbell, Andrew Kimbell, Bob Wilhelm, and Linda Liesemeyer.

 

 

LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS

Topics at the Paisley Bottom Coffee Shop and Critical Thinking Laboratory often deal with weighty subject matter and sensitive information. Access to information is based on the individual's clearance level and need to know. Sophisticated security measures and various codes and encryption tools are employed. Strict procedures are in place to guard the integrity of this information. Often older tried and true pedestrian methods are also used. The above rare photo, from inside the secure area of the Laboratory, of Ohnjay LNU and Evestay LNU, (LNU = Last Name Unknown), underscores this commitment. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

 

 

Did you know the December Birth Flower is holly (of course!) and the Birthstone is turquoise?

 

 

Who doesn't love a Christmas Chicken and its friends? Thanks for making us smile Holli Gist!

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

 

Friday, 12-7-1923, The Otoe Union:

"Mid-Week Sermon for Busy People" by Rev. E.E. Carter of the Methodist Church, was printed on the front page of the paper. Mrs. Wood, wife of the Paisley pastor, died in her sleep. "Chief of Police Chandler of Syracuse, was a business caller in Unadilla." (Who do you suppose he was looking for?)
