Another week gone ... and good riddance.
An Algerian airliner en route from Burkina Faso to Algeria with 116 people on board disintegrated in the air and crashed in Mali; a Liberian man has died of Ebola in Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria, raising fears that the epidemic of the deadly virus will spread even farther; Islamic extremists belonging to the group ISIS have destroyed Jonah's tomb, a site considered holy by Shiite Muslims; a Canadian SWAT team stormed a passenger jet at Toronto's Pearson International Airport after it returned to the airport when a passenger "made a direct threat against the aircraft;" and scientists have revealed that the earth barely escaped the impact of a huge solar flare in 2012 that could have destroyed enough high-tech infrastructure to drive the planet back to the 18th century.
Life without blogging ... can you imagine anything more horrible?
And so this week's selection of theme cartoons deals with ... what else? ... blogging.
Sometimes, it's perhaps not the best thing to do ...
As I was saying above ...
Happily, this is not a problem that I have ... right? ...
Ever wonder how blogs got their name? ...
This is also the situation with most comment sections of online news articles ...
And before there was blogging online, there was ... well ...
Turning to other topics, I feel this way most days at work. No snarky comments necessary, Mike ...
Nothing like a tech-savvy doom prophet ...
Clever ...
And finally, did you ever wonder where those handsome, studly young fellows and gorgeous young coeds went ...
And so it goes for another week. The weekend got off to a good start yesterday evening when I met two of my old college friends, Gonzo Dave and Bob, for dinner and reminiscences at McCormick and Schmick's restaurant in Crystal City. We had a great time, and later this morning Dave and I will meet at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum for a day of admiring aviation history. Life is good.
Have a good day and a great weekend. See you tomorrow for Poetry Sunday.

Cartoons about blogging? Its time has come.
Great cartoons! Doomsday prophets need a blog too. and sometimes easy standards make for a parade.
1. Hope you're not pointing any of those cartoons in *my* direction...
2. Glad you got home. It took me a while, but I did too, finally. And I was wondering what I was going to write about for yesterday - funny how life gives you answers to your questions (but rarely the answers you want)
Before air conditioning we used to sit on the front porch and watch the cars go by. It's only gotten better since then.
There's something strikingly pleasant about just watching, cars, people, animals. It's a small town zen-like moment.
