Had my attention for two panels….
Same here!
You just described our Harvey recovery project.
Hope the recovery is going well. With the 24-hour news cycle, two years is more than an eternity. We don’t hear much about the ongoing efforts much. :/
Hey, I like Scandinavian furniture and I have a lot of it in my home. Plus some pieces in simple Shaker style from an Amish furniture place. Is that shocking?
Can we cut and paste Janis bathing topless?
When my wife and I would do something daring in the living room we’d pull the curtains but one time we did fail to lock the front door and one ‘walk-right-in’ neighbor strolled in with her 13yo daughter. Let’s just say she always knocked after that!
No comments from JJ?
Today’s Pickles. A sin I never committed. Nor my daughter’s. Kaf was b. on Elaine’s bday.

Peace,
Still 3 unhatched osprey eggs at Chesapeake nest. Folks just changed places. Cannot tell them apart. A previous male had a slightly rusty nape.

Re 5-17-19 real-time cartoon: So what I had for dinner last night was “uncultured meat”? Or would that be “uncouth meat”?
Unclean meat? Tref?
Peace,
Ref 5-18-19 real-time cartoon: A “hangunder”?
Puffins are not listed in Leviticus. Both parents were in the burrow when I got here. Q. is, how did people reach this far back to set up the webcam [puffins were out to sea]. Parents are both banded, but sexes are alike. Think only 1 egg. 1 got on egg, other flew off to fish. It is ok for puffins to fish on Mothers’ Day. They slough off the pretty covering after breeding season, grow a new one next time.

Ghost: Chalk yourself up one bon mot.
Brooke: Jimmy is just as sexy, and doesn’t have to risk censorship to do it. Must admit, however, Brooke’s is a provocative drawing. Along with the Peeping Knave, a hugely overweight old monk, and some knuckle-dragging hairy parental sorts, Pib is off on another rambling adventure. In 9CL, we actually recently had Seth and another gay man [not his regular partner] kissing in public.

Peace,

I don’t like to complain about other strips on JJ’s page, but to me 9CL became nothing but a platform for Brooke’s wish fulfillment years ago.
May those of us who are undergoing dangerous weather be safe….
Night time frosts are becoming less common, but don’t put out your tomato plants yet. Peace,
Good morning Villagers….
In for some scary weather….but just keep this one in mind.

Ref 5-19-19 real-time cartoon: That “Perfect Day” wasn’t yesterday, at least not on the Lake. I stood at the back door of the boutique and watched cumulus mammatus clouds (the ones shown over Janis in the first panel) move just south of us. Fortunately, there was no evidence of severe weather developing from them in our immediate area. (BTW, Jimmy, props to you for your accurate portrayal of crappy meteorological conditions.)
I judge that Arlo is still working on his first bottle of adult beverage in the final panel, as he is not attempting to flip the burgers behind his back.
We have had some rain, but no damages. However, there has been wind damage not too far from me. The hills shelter us most of the time!
No scary weather – just unpleasant.
2″ rain in day & half, windy and raw.
Lots of unplanted fields.
My part of Utah’s weather has been much wetter than normal this year. Today’s yet another day with strong winds and rain. The last spring like this was in the early 1980s. We’re over 125% of normal for our valley, over 150% in the watershed that provides our culinary water.
Went to San Diego for vacation. Sunny California, hah! Overcast most of the time. Temperatures in the high 60’s except for a day or two. Poured rain the Saturday after I arrived and the Thursday before I left. On returning to Tulsa Friday it was sunny and in the 80’s. Saturday we had thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain and highs in the upper 60’s. Sunny and warm today, but tomorrow’s forecast is so bad the Tulsa public schools are going to all be closed.
But the trip was great. San Diego was a very nice place to visit.
Favorite t-shirt seen in our shop today:
Thou shall not try me – Mom 24:7
Good morning Villagers…..
I have a strict rule…let the cats lick the dishes clean lol 🙂 .I always use a little bleach in my dishwasher….The sprayer is broke, when you use water it too sprays water. So I pulled it it up so that the nozzle sprays the clean dishes off in the other sink. I may be blonde, but I’m not stupid 😉
The water bill here in the city is outrageous…the sewage is really the water works money maker. My home in the country uses ground water, no water bill just electricity to get water into the water pump which is 200 feet down…
So in the mean time I leave you with….
