Funny how some things function.  There I was, just innocently sitting there looking through the files I saved links for on the current banking crisis and re-reading a few stories to see if anything stuck out and poked me in the eye and there it was – the title of another file crept into view.  That is one thing that I do; when a current event that interests me comes into focus, I copy and paste the URL’s to those stories into a Notepad file along with some brief comments of why I found it interesting or pertinent info it contains or whatever.   Not to be confused with the more complicated, or just longer term lists, as found in WordPad or the itemized long lists inside of Word or LibreOffice Writer complete with a Table of Contents to organize things better complete with a table of contents to find specific news categories easier.  No, the notepad files are basically just a short simple set of lists of story ideas to work from; kind of like a catchall bin as illustrated in the image above.  Many column ideas spawned from that method of making lists and I have a lot of dead links to show for it as censorship prevails and increases.
