    I'm back, folks!

    After a brief hiatus for a family trip to Disneyland, I'm back, folks! Let me catch you up on what's been happening. So, I recently watched this movie called "Leave the World Behind," Let me tell you, it hit a nerve. It's all about a cyberattack on the United States' infrastructure, and given recent events like the breach at the Tipton Wastewater Treatment Plant – for the second time this year, a cyberattack has hit a treatment plant, mind you – it's feeling a little too close to home. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, but it left me pondering how vulnerable we might be to such threats in real life.
