Hard as it is to believe, the weekend is over and another five days of the work week lie ahead. It will be at least four more days before you can sleep in again and tend to the yard work, home improvements, camping excursions, sports endeavors, road trips, etc. Even if you love your job, having a time of reprieve is always welcome. Here is a little for you compliments of the July 1971 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. It included a couple pretty good technology-centric comics. I particularly like the one on page 79 - a theme that occurs in many places. The guy reminds me of an engineer I worked with at Westinghouse Electric's Oceanic Division back in the 1980s.
