Welcome To The Internet!

Bowlers,

What you are now viewing is called a website.  These are usually accessed through a web browser and most likely can be viewed on the smart device that is currently sitting in your pocket.  You know the one that has the selfie of your undercarriage on it.

So, now as you're probably thinking, why am I getting an internet 101 lecture, I thought it would be a good time to provide everybody an exclusive behind the scenes look at running a bowling league.  In the grander sense, it also sheds some light on the ongoing sociology study that it trying to answer the question; Who hangs out in bowling alleys anyway?.

I digress though.  Since the inception of the Beer Frame Bowling League 9 years ago, I can pretty much count on the same questions coming up on a weekly basis.  Now, I'm happy to provide to answers, as I view it as part of my self styled job description.  In addition to being able to predict the questions, I can also pretty much guarantee the response to the answers.  Usually it runs between; "I didn't read the email" or "I don't have the website link". 

Since we've progressed as a species to the point where pretty much everybody has the internet with them at all times and the fact that shares in Google just topped $1000 a share based largely on internet searching technology, I can only draw two conclusions from these excuses.

1. I am too lazy to ready anything over 10 words.
2. I actually don't now how to read.

Of course if you are looking at this post, there is still hope for you.  I can't help if you skipped reading class in grades K-12, but if you're in bucket number 1, I can offer a few helpful hints to make sure you don't lose track of the website address.

- Add the address to your internet browser's 'favorites'
- Never close your web browser or turn off your computer / mobile device
- Don't navigate to any other web pages
