How was your 4th july holiday week? Just regular break from routine? Short or long travel? Looking at extreme hot weather predictions or surprise flooding in certain parts of the country? Or simply organized your closets and finished the long-due laundry? I am sure that break gave you some relaxation and charged your internal batteries!

Election is coming, so does social media war. There is enough content for cartoonists, endless sources!

Quote for this week:

"If you have passion, a chip on the shoulder, a sense of humor, and you can explain what you do very well, it doesn't matter if you're a plumber or a singer or a politician. If you have those four things, you are interesting."

– Larry King

Word of the week

Precatory, p, r , e, c, a, t, o, r, y

What is the meaning?

Relating to or expressing a wish or request.

What is in your mind after learning this word?

Let us start this week’s highlights..

First, some economy news and food prices..

US prices didn’t rise last month for the first time since November.

Yes, I have some extra bucks in the pocket. But my BP went up after watching the first Presidential debate! I thought my choice was already made!

Costco Just Made a Big Change to Its $4.99 Rotisserie Chickens, and Customers Are Not Happy.

It is just the packaging changes but it’s too difficult fort the customer to adopt it. No complains about the same price of $4.99 for last 24 years!

Holidays means drunken driving. That’s the reason lot of cops on the road

A driver drank 18 beers before a nail salon crash, prosecutors say.

He could say in court that the solvents like toluene and formaldehyde attracted him to the store quickly!

It’s Taylor swift time. Okay, Taylor swift year. More okay, Taylor swift decade!

German city of Gelsenkirchen is being temporarily renamed ‘Swiftkirchen’ whilst Taylor Swift is in town.

So in the future you may hear Swifterland instead of Switzerland, Singpore as Swiftapore

The US economy added 206,000 jobs last month, and the jobless rate unexpectedly increased to 4.1%.

Can’t believe these numbers. When the President’s job itself is in question. No politics here anyway! You can be rest assured!

UK’s new Prime Minister, Starmer pledges to steer UK toward "calmer waters"

Like the rhyming words, Starmer and Calmer. Let his sailing be smooth with Europe and United States

AI resurrects deceased actors’ voices to read audiobooks

My question is who gets the royalty from the income? Or it goes to undeclared funds at each State’s treasury?

Flying news..This has never got better these days

American Airlines flight forced to make emergency landing in NY after passenger urinated in aisle.

So we need sanity check along with security checks?

One more flying news..

Delta flight diverted after passengers served expired food.

Food inspector at the preparation site took long holiday vacation, is that a good excuse?

California news..

12 people compete for every rental unit in Silicon Valley, new study says.

Was this sponsored by rental companies. Where are these people coming when news say people are leaving California

Some Amazon news..

Amazon is 30. Here's how a book store gobbled up all of e-commerce.

Remember when you were young, Amazon was just a river in South America?

Weight loss drugs are getting popular, don’t miss those news!

Weight loss drugs, Wegovy, Ozempic linked with sight-threatening eye disorder in study.

What is the point of losing weight if you could not see yourself losing weight?

Thanks for your time..See you next week!

Feeling confused and more surprised after the first Presidential debate. If your junk food intake went up, you are not alone!

Elections, Wars, Economy, Interest rates, turbulent weather news..It is not easy to be highly optimistic, certainly not from the news! Other option to have some summer travel if the weather cooperates this year. But the wide-spread unemployment and raising travel costs puts damper to those thoughts. Stay-cation is the best option instead of vacation. What else one can do?

Quote for this week:

Why do so many of us in the Western World resist stillness? And with those who attempt to meditate and give up quickly, why do we get impatient with stilling the mind more quickly than we expect the practice it will take to be great at anything else? What our soul cares about most is not a perfectly still "no mind"? What our soul cares about truly is that we make the effort to come and spend time with "her".

Quote by Dr Toni Galardi

Word of the week

Pied

Pied means having two or more different colors.

Like Red and Blue during this election year!

What’s new this week?

Boeing, multi-vitamins,etc - Humor from news!

- Paper blame at Boeing

- Degree at 105, mean graduation degree

- Salty cream

- Southwest flight

- multi-vitamin

Let us start this week’s highlights..

How long you wait to get the degree?

83 years after finishing her master’s coursework, this Stanford graduate finally received her education degree. She is 105 years old.

She should get two masters, one for education and another one for her patience!

Coursework means paperwork, but it could get blamed too..

Boeing blames missing paperwork for Alaska Air incident.

It should be that paper clip, which allowed the paperwork to fly out of the open window into the clouds!

What cream you use in your coffee?

Salty cream in your morning brew? Vietnam’s specialty coffees offer that.

It’s time to change my sugar addition to salt addiction!

Talking about coffee, very important for pilots

A Southwest flight took off from a closed runway, forcing workers to clear out.

Pilot was trying to achieve the on-time departure record and can’t afford wait behind the other planes in regular runway!

Daily multivitamin supplements don't help you live longer, study shows.

All money down the drain..In this case, flushed out in the toilet?

Thanks for your time..See you next week!

How do you keep yourself motivated and handle day-to-day activities? Get fresh air, if time permits. Eat healthy, once in a while may be. Be active, show up in the gym or take jogging, if the weather permits. Talk to friends, if they are available. Lot of ifs and buts. Time flies and you wish there is a pause button in life.

Do you write daily journals?. How much calories consumed and burnt. Your food intake. Your mood. Your perspective to your own life. At the end of the day, you wish you helped many. You wish you smiled and laughed to bring your charisma out. You think of the past moment in life, where you laughed your heart out that you really cried! You don’t have to send the tears to a lab. Those tears are sounding you are healthy and alive!

Back to the question, when did you smile or laugh?.Yes twitter or instagram stories may make you laugh, if the feed or algorithm that day suites your mood that time. Otherwise, you are just browsing the feed with your mind on something else!

Quote for this week:

If you were to die tomorrow, it will not matter what you accumulated in this life. It wont even matter how many or who your friends were. All of it will be gone. All that you will leave with is your spirit. A good thing to remember when something upsets you. Will this matter to me in 5 years?

Hello, from Humor from news, cartoonist channel. I am an author and cartoonist. Cartoonist means not TV cartoons but I make political & economic cartoons you will see in some newspapers. When is the last time you read a physical newspaper?

This will surely help to smile but my goal is the big laughter!

Wish you laughed or smiled more this week!?
