And They're Off!

Yes, Dear Readers, the time has come for Agnes and I to depart on our long-awaited, long-overdue, and very much needed vacation. We will be away from regular Internet connectivity for the next few weeks, and so - except for the next two Cartoon Saturdays which have already been prepared and scheduled to publish - Bilbo's Random Thought Collection will be offline.

As a parting gift, here are a few choice cartoons about vacations ...

There are vacations for cowboys ...

And shepherds ...

And grouchy CEOs ...

Even God needs a break once in a while ... especially now, when so many crazy people are doing terrible things in his (or her) name ...

Congress takes vacations, too ... but you have to wonder what they do to earn them ...

And finally, there are cheaper alternatives to the traditional vacation ... but they probably aren't quite as satisfying ...

I may be able to post occasionally, but don't count on it. I'll be back with you for sure on October 5th. Be here!

Have a good day and a great couple of weeks. More thoughts when I get back.

Bilbo
