This one is from 20 years ago this month. Remember where you heard it first. Often, when I’m addressing a group, I am asked if I ever get political in the strip. My immediate reaction is, “Well, don’t you read the strip?” But I don’t say that out loud. What I say is, I don’t produce overtly political material, but I do a lot of “social commentary.” I believe that if I take sides politically, 40 to 50 percent of readers will be angry whether my stance is justified or not. However, if I comment on underlying problems we all face in society, I find that almost 100 percent of readers agree.

Mark, Glen spotted old gray ex-Tom up by Highway 9 crossing over toward rural health clinic and woods. Only the sick black kitty has shown up on porch and not today to catch. They haven’t shown up for Endless Kitty Buffet feedings.
I feel bad about this but they are spayed, neutered and vaccinated, so no kitties or rabies, etc.
Don’t feel bad Jackie. Like with people, you do what you can and they must do the rest. It’s not like you had an indoor place they could have been kept for the first few days till they got used to you. Give them time to acclimate to the area and I think they will return for food, unless they find some at someone else’s house. The old tom didn’t live at anybody’s house, just wandered from one female to the next. Maybe he’ll settle down now that he has nothing else to do.

Scavenged deer leg at the “Decorah-eagles-north-nest”? [Do a search.] Peace,
Easy Lit. quiz. http://offbeat.topix.com/quiz/17183/qidx10
I’m probably less a ‘person of letters’ than many of you, but I got all ten right. Had to blindly guess on only one, and warily guess on two others, but this is not a hard quiz.
Peace,
Ten? Ten? I quit at 35 and the quotes were still going on, seemingly endless.
I finished it – 50 first lines.
48 out of 50 and haven’t read the majority. But styles reflect their times and authors. And I have seemingly read enough different authors to work these out.
I also got 48 out of 50, Mark. One that I missed, I knew and clicked on the wrong answer. But… I guessed at some too, so I came out ahead. There were a lot of hints: the illustrations… the contrast between choices… different styles… Some I had read, and some I had just read about.
I got 47 of the 50, thanks to those hints Gal mentioned. The ones I missed were authors I’d never heard of.
What a way to go: http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-jane-little-dead-20160516-story.html
I quit early but they gave only 2 choices

Even Ben Franklin did not follow Poor Richards advice. But maybe that was
after he retired. Rose late and partied to the wee hours.
Just did something guaranteed to bring on sense of age and loss. Listened to Waylon Jennings sing for about two hours on YouTube the room was knee deep in testosterone! I loved that man and his music.
Brown Eyed Handsome Man in 1970, he was clean cut, young and gorgeous. Weren’t we all? But he still made my soul roll over with his voice and that beard and face even towards the end of his life. He died too soon but he burned like a Roman candle.
I’ll post the song that started that marathon.

Good thing NIL vehicle was not in your hands when it bit the dust.
Any way to get your battery swapped out?
Don’t argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Good morning Villagers…
Thanks for understanding. Now I’ve misplaced my driver’s license. Had to show it at the pharmacy when I picked up husband’s meds yesterday. It is somewhere in that Intrepid, I have the receipt!!!!
Mark, my Isuzu is still not running…something about a couple of sensors….I think we’re getting close. Right now I’m driving an Intrepid that belongs to my husband who was selling it to his psychotic nephew.
Old Bear, the nephew got the Danger Ranger running and brought back my Isusu’s battery last night.
Ran 198 cases yesterday….we’re still trying to figure out why we were in a slump in production. They added a half hour of lighting at 2:00 am….a midnight snack so to speak…let’s hope this helps. It’s too soon for them to drop…they will not be 45 weeks old
until sometime in July.
Ya’ll have a blessed day.
GR 😉 Thanks for explaining yourself. I am really trying to work on that positive attitude. It’s been a struggle. and slept good last night. Work keeps me busy. Now, let’s get back to….
