As I write this, today is sort of a time out day while I attend to private matters. Of course after reading the news media and the other bloggers I may feel compelled to express an opinion.

When I first started this blog I intended it to be a melange without any specific agenda , hence the term Potpourri. This was to be a vehicle to share old memories some photographic others written; as well as commentaries on National as well as Local news and politics.

Don 't misunderstand me, I enjoy the forum in which I can give vent to my opinions. In the old days I did this by frequent letters to the editor.

As a small carrot to Potpourri , I am reproducing a recent JAMA cover with the explanation text. Clicking on the text or picture can enlarge to readable size.
