Lens-Artists Challenge #118: Communication
Today's Photo Challenge might be a downer, compared to the other posts that I have been reading.

Interesting…Very Interesting…World Health Organization comes out Against Lockdowns to “fight Coronavirus”
I was alerted to this new (?) stance by the All-Powerful World Health Organization, warning countries NOT to lock down their economies to fight the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Lens-Artists Challenge #115 Inspiration
I am always inspired by the monumental, and not-so-monumental, works of human ingenuity. Whenever I see a bridge, or a mountain road, or a tall building, it reminds me of how people, down through the ages, have altered their environment by building things to make their lives easier, or to commemorate occasions or people. Structures …
Retirement. It’s bittersweet, for me.
Tomorrow, Monday, August 31, will be my last working day at my current job, which I have held for 12-2/3 years. That's the longest I have ever worked at any job in my entire working life. My original goal in life was to work forever, and never retire. Well, the Wuhan Coronavirus put an end …
