A short poem today, for a short post. This is from 1996, 20 years ago this month. Someone asked me about this strip in an email the other day, wanting help finding it. At the time, I wasn’t sure where to look, and it was just as well. I would have sworn I drew it no more than 10 years ago. Yeek.

Just woke up. Everyone is probably asleep.
Ghost I have green eyes but you probably remember that. It puts us into that tiny green eyed monster percentage at the top percentile.
Do not have a beard but love short beards. If anyone who looks remotely like George Clooney shows up at my front door I will cook anything he wants.
Have been unpacking and putting away clothes from tote bags and suitcases. Realized some of these dated back to period of summer when epic trip to buy boat began. I have to put on clothes other than pajamas and flip flops and go get mail in a few laundry baskets, go to bank and Walmart.
That is a major outing.
My anniversary date was Friday the 13th. August 13 to be precise.
Didn’t fall on a Friday, I hope.
Crap. Never mind. Mis-read that.
To be exact, the first sentence did register with me, for some reason.
Two LEO agencies in this area have had complaints of “scary clowns seen” tonight. This is getting out of hand.
Someone is going to shoot a clown before this is over.
Just in the foot hopefully. Large target.
How about I set up a private e-mail account for you Ghost so you can send me a Ghostly image? Of course I would have to come up with a mystical way to transfer the coded address to you and not a thousand others!
It appears I will be driving through Mississippi the latter part of next week. Since I did not get to send flowers to your mother’s services, I would like to drop off a memorial arrangement for her monument urn and one for your sister’s as well. I will be happy to do so to any location you’d like, you need not be present. I wanted to send flowers, as I am sure most of Village did as well.
Believe me, I have done stranger deliveries as a florist.
Good morning Villagers….
Well, it finally happened, my modem bit the dust. My ISP delivered a newer version out to my house Thursday afternoon, and my old Dell couldn’t ‘take’ it. So, you all will be happy to know I am in the possession of a HP laptop. The speed in which it takes to download links almost makes my nose bleed 🙂 It has Windows 10. Now to educate myself.
Jackie, all 4 reasons listed above are valid…stick to them. I’ve always adopted the philosophy of “when in doubt, throw it out”.
Had to file a report with the Sheriff’s dept…some one stole my prescriptions…just left a few in each bottle. So now I have to pick up report and take to pharmacy and get refills….more money. I had them in glove box, looked into my one bottle of benzo’s and they left me 27 out of 90 as I had just had them refilled on Monday. The other was a mild pain reliever for my arthritis, and it is a controlled substance also. And yes, I do take them responsibly whenever I need to.
Off today, going over to help sisters clean homestead…..
later…..
Prayers for all in Matthew’s way….Amen
GR 😉 lost ALL my Utube links…..and I had many as you can imagine. And what did I play
first 🙂

HAPPY CATURDAY

I am genuinely glad to not be in Texas. Do not feel good at all and know I would feel worse after that trip. I have to be well enough to rescue remainder of Mark’s mama’s cats by next weekend so his brother can sell house.
Know I may not feel well by then. Switching antibiotics and decongestants et al. It is in 50s here, time for jeans and sweaters.
Debbe, lock your car and with all the people in and out your house, maybe in house too. Drugs are a frequently stolen item even non pain ones. I picked mine up in Walmart several years ago and paid, put in cart to keep shopping and they took entire month’s supply.
Hope my friends and loved ones are safe, especially those on East coast.
Debbe, the laptop sounds nice. Just think, you can use it all over the house, on the porch, or in the yard. Cool! I have a desktop, but do almost everthing on my Note 5 “phablet”…gee, that’s an awful word. “Phablet”…looks and sounds so silly.
Ghost, the entwined rings and anniversary date…it says so much more about them than that they were married.
Hoping Steve from RO is managing safely in Georgia.
Yay, new computer for Debbe!
I’ve been concerned for a while that the one you had would give up the ghost (so to speak) and leave us wondering what happened to you.
Don’t worry, hone, I’ll help you rebuild your YouTube links (the music ones, anyway) at a rate of one per day. 🙂
What’s a “hone”? Nothing bad, I hope. I meant “hon”, of course.
If people begin shooting clowns, it will immediately become a matter of great concern for Secret Service protective details.
Good one. Which clown?
Well, if an occasion arose, one would likely label the other a ‘clowness.’ Peace,
All of them. This election cycle, I’m an equal opportunity candidate hater.
I’ll admit that I haven’t followed college football too closely this year, so I was just delighted to learn that Notre Dame has a player named Equanimeous Tristan Imhotep J. St. Brown. (They call him Equanimeous for short, of course.) And apparently he’s as interesting a person as his name is an interesting name.
I go Pogo. Can we write him in?
Here is serious question. I CANNOT bring myself to vote for either candidate for differing reasons. I think however we SHOULD vote and do something.
If we write in candidate, pick a third party or don’t cast vote what is effect? Are we truly helping elect a monster? And if so, are we wrong to do that?
I did that once or twice and late husband never forgave me.
I just became a Libertarian but I probably was already.
Oklahoma voted overwhelmingly for Bernie and Ted. Does this mean we will all become Libertarians?
I think Libertarians are not unlike Unitarians so Jimmy probably won’t mind this question.
I am dressed and heading to get mail. I bet my surprise from Jimmy is there! Yea! Christmas Stockings!
And what state is Ignameous from?
I cannot bring myself to dishonor the memory of the many people who died to ensure I have the right to vote by not exercising my franchise. In my opinion, not voting is not a viable option, this year or any year. Who does get your vote is between you and your conscience, as it is between me and mine.
God bless the United States of America.
