The CK Daily – Chili Weather (Almost)
Happy Thursday!
I hope your week has been going great. We are almost to Friday, so that is always a plus!
Y’all are probably tired of us all talking about Fall. I get it. Not sure why I am looking forward to Fall so much this year…I mean football is more than enough but it just seems different this year. Maybe it is because we had such a hot summer and the cooler (hopefully) weather will be nice.
This week we had a small touch of Fall in the weather…it has been a little cooler but the humidity has been non-existent. I figured it would be a good time to make chili this week. I am a chili nut and I like experimenting with different ingredients and making different types. I made a 3-Bean Taco Chili with vegetables. The vegetables and seasonings were the things I tried differently this time around and it seemed to be a hit with the neighbors I had over to watch football Monday night. That recipe is a keeper now!
As I said, I am always up for trying new chili recipes and types, do you have any ideas or recipes you would be willing to share with me? (I know most chili recipes are supposed to be kept secret, but I promise not to tell anyone. Haha!)
Have a great rest of the week and weekend!

Product Spotlights & Updates
Cisco FlexStack Module provides a true stacking solution with all Catalyst 2960S Series switches in a FlexStack stack acting as a single switching unit when the module is installed in all switches. FlexStack provides a unified data plane, and single configuration for a group of stacked Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches.
A single FlexStack connection between two members is a full duplex 10Gbps connection. Each Cisco Catalyst 2960-S member supports two FlexStack connections. Each FlexStack member can simultaneously send and receive Ethernet traffic over both stack links at a line rate, effectively giving 20Gbps of stack bandwidth per member. Up to four switches can be stacked together using FlexStack to form a single logical switch.
Learning Center Article – How Fast Does Email Travel?
We all know that email is fast. You can send important documents through the virtual systems, and you more or less expect them to arrive instantaneously. Yet, whenever we’re waiting for important emails, it seems like things move a lot slower.
That brings up an important question. How fast does email actually travel? How long does it take to get to a recipient, and why is it always slower when it matters more?
