HAL is at it again. WHY did you get posts for May 14 & 11 on August 20?

THIS blog has a mind of its own.  I truly believe it.  It does what it wants to do and only WHEN it wants to.  Far be it from me to try to control it.  "The medium is the message"* is what I learned in Journalism 101 in college. But maybe this blog is channeling HAL. (2001 Space Odyssey)

 HAL:  "I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you."

Sharon "HAL, you got to help me out here, not make me look like an idiot!"  Aside, whispering so HAL can't hear , "I THINK this blog definitely has idiosyncrasies or issues like a real person".

Just know - I AM NOT IN CONTROL. Sharon

*"The medium is the message" is a phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.
