I haven't done any blogging posts on current and streaming media since November 3rd, which broke a streak of weekly ones that had been going since September of 2019 - albeit as part of a different, group, blog. As with many such inactions, it wasn't intended as a formal stoppage, just a momentary delay, but here it is five weeks later. This post's linking theme is the return of fondly-remembered characters. It really should include the recent arrival to streaming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over on Disney+, but I haven't really mustered my reactions to that. Instead, I'll stick with two other nostalgic items that arrived this week.

They've made adding images very easy, the biggest difficulty being that if you want them to appear at a particular place in your piece, once you've added a pic you'll need to go to the html edit screen, cut the image code block at the top and paste it where you want it below. There's no intermediate ftp image upload step and addresses to remember, so if it's an image on your hard drive you can send a copy up and access it in your blog in one step.
