This was a comic strip that first appeared after mountainous landlocked Switzerland won the quadrennial America’s Cup yachting race. I’ve been a water enthusiast all my life and a boater of one sort or another most of my adult life, but I will say that the America’s Cup is about the dumbest, dullest, most unsporting sporting event in the world. Except that year Ted Turner won it and got so drunk at the awards ceremony he passed out under a table. That was cool. Speaking of boats, it took “ToysGeo” about five minutes yesterday to claim the free t-shirt by asking the question, “Whatever happened to Arlo’s boat?” If ToysGeo will get in touch with me via the above email link, we’ll make arrangements for delivery of the prize. As for the question, we’re going to talk about that tomorrow. Or soon. Also coming up will be an opportunity for many of you to purchase an original A&J comic strip for a good price and a good cause. Y’all come back now, hear?

Don’t know how this happened but I came back here and I’m still listening to the Boss.
Where has the Village gone?
Late last night I was writing about great legendary children’s books. I had just bought three copies of the reproduced original Velveteen Rabbit for the unbelievable price of $14 and the third one free. I consider the story and illustrations in same light as Pooh almost.
Hal referred to my next choice as Windows in the Willows. Hal probably is closer to right than I. Children today are going to carry an iPhone or a tablet.
It ain’t over ’til it’s over. No snow on ground here in Mpls, 33F now, 28 tonight, possibly less than 1″ tomorrow. One egg at the Baltimore peregrine site [search Chesapeake Conservancy] starting Wed., but nobody incubating. They don’t build much nest, if any. Back later. No indication [I think] which lake stars in the seq. below. Peace,

Only thing being tossed around these parts today is pine tree pollen. Of course, yesterday was a bit more interesting, with hailstones.
Oklahoma is the allergy center of America. Of course I should have realized that when as a child I had to fly here for allergy testing and treatment?
It is also the hailstorm and tornado center of America. Of course I should have realized that from the weather center location in Norman?
Why am I still here?
Did your beloved car get hail damage Ghost?
While living in Nashville, TN, I found out it has the reputation of being one of the worst places for allergy sufferers. Apparently it lies in a sort of geographic bowl, which traps all the pollen, dust, etc. I had never had allergy problems while living in Alabama, but once in Tennessee every spring I had stuffy nose, headaches, sneezing, and all the related symptoms.
We have been having late spring weather here the last two weeks. Now that something is happening on the weekend I want to get out to, the forecast changes to cold front with rain for Saturday and worse Sunday.
So sorry Mark. It is raining here now but nothing severe.
