Has it been almost a week? Wow! Well, the door’s been unlocked and the shutters thrown open. Come on in. I’m a little tardy with it, but here’s the continuation of the “Sondra” strips I promised. Preparing this double-comic post, it occurred to me—not for the first time—that sometimes several consecutive days of Arlo and Janis involve an extended conversation or situation which, strung together, resembles something like a comic book.

Forgot about the locally grown and sourced peaches and cream corn. Sold by adorable cute teenager. We doubled back.
Need a new swimsuit? These are mostly for women and children but there are a couple for the guys. http://bookriot.com/2017/06/21/swimsuits-for-superheroines/

Debbe, you did share Ian’s great news before. And that will do more for him in the near future than fixing one laptop. My interest was so much on keeping your voice here in the village that I skipped over congratulations for that. A very good way to get going again, and saving on transportation for a while is a definite bonus. Exciting times.
Tried to make a Pepé Le Pew joke about mistaking a black-and-white cat for skunk, or other way ’round. Couldn’t do it right. Sharing concept instead.
Never had a Calico to cuddle, so don’t know temperament. But I think they look the most fun to be around. Like a Dazzle paint scheme on a ship, it just looks festive standing still.
reread above
Transportation savings on Ian walking, was my meaning. I am sure any Jeep troubles are temporary. Best wishes to your house, Debbe.
I almost petted a skunk once, mistaking it for one of my cats out at Endless Kitty Buffet. I realized my mistake before I did though.
B’ugs Debbe
Lazy afternoon of browsing. Looked in on some addresses not visited in a while. Found LawDog had resurfaced: http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2017/06/whew.html
so come to acknowledge again Ghost’s reference that had led me to other interesting writers as well. The LawDog is humble, claiming only 2 faithful readers. When I visited 48 had posted desperate requests for ways to throw money at the budding Author. LD has also teased a second volume later this year.
TruckerRon, while coastal residents are dealing with too much water, my evening news added Utah to the list of new or ongoing wildfire regions. Hope all is well near you. And that the sky stays clear.
Got most of kitchen patio replanted with some shrubs and perennials, annual plants and ferns, begonias, Canadians, rose Moss. Replanted part of the hanging baskets and took down the remaining dead ones to replant.
Ghost helped significantly and he and Terrie fin I she’d cleaning it and arranged furniture so we can use to sit out or eat out there. Tremendous improvement.
I am wiped out. He said he was going to hose me off like Janis and wrap me in sheet. I have already taken two showers today and in night gown at 7.20. Skipping dinner except iced tea and medications.
I understand the Brian Head fire in Dixie National Forest is the largest wildfire in the US today.
🙁
https://www.utahfireinfo.gov shows what’s happening.
Well, there’s a new fire that’s not on that map yet… it’s in the mouth of the canyon where we attended the star party last night. It’s listed in this article as the Alpine Fire:

Keep us posted on your fires Trucker and if you are safe.
Picked out what I hope to cook tomorrow for brunch, goat cheese grits with fried green tomatoes, bacon crumbles and either basil sauce or something similar. Heavily influenced by the restaurant Tupelo Honey Cafe in Ashville, N.C. which is absolutely amazing place.
Mary Lou and Gene would love it.
If one has fresh produce one wishes to sell, load it into the back of pickup truck; give your teenage daughter a pair of shorts, a t-shirt with no bra to go under it; and the keys to the pickup. Send her out to park along main street in a small Oklahoma town, and she will sell out in no time. (Even though I only bought a dozen ears from her.)
According to Terrie, this is a common occurrence around here. The local eye-candy index may be on the rise.
Ghost:
I hope that you are joking.
Any father who would do that should be jailed.
Rick, I’ll admit I nearly posted a comment referencing the word teenager, and a humorous intention at the need to wait for things to ripen. I withheld for fear it was worded poorly. I’m saying I recognize your shock for what it is.
But you may want to consider that if this is the voice saying you over-reacted, you may want to think about it. I have frequented many small town diners whose ownership does exactly as Ghost describes. It may be a barely innocent quest for men’s money. But when I learned that my High School Girlfriend, who I’ve spoken kindly of here, and her friend worked for a man who spent their entire shift camped at a King’s Table of his own with only a beer and an ashtray in reach [these items required tending by the staff, while he remained planted], I found another job for her to apply to. Her friend had to drive a little further, but also found a new job. I identify with where you come from. I also have a daughter whom I believe others find attractive, so I get that too.
Ghost is a virile, but very sensible man. It may be dangerous to vouch for someone unseen, but I read him to be an upright guy, who made a joke. The same joke made several times an hour on any over the air broadcast station. Beauty sells.
Morphy and TruckerRon, the skimpy clothing may also just be a concession to the local weather. Would you want to sit outdoors for hours in hot, humid weather while wearing heavy clothes?
Apropos of nothing earlier: I just came across an expression totally new to me & thought I’d share it: “hapax legomenon” or, written in Greek characters, “???? ?????????”. It means any word which appears exactly once in given literary work.
This occurred in a not-so-easy crossword puzzle….
Ha! This site doesn’t reproduce Greek letters, apparently.
Yeah, cxp, ASCII doesn’t do those. Except lower MU for ‘micro-‘ ALT+0181 µ The rest need more code. I’ve wanted an upper DELTA many times.
And I agree Mark, it was a fanciful imagined reasoning.
Here is an alternate scenario, had Farmer Bob, the dad, been available for interogation: “Yeah, thanks for noticing. Ya see Bobby, he’s the strong one in the family. He’s at it 14 or more hours a day when school’s out. Billy tries real hard, but he don’t have what it takes. I’m hoping school goes well for ‘im. With his wanky eye and gap tooth most folks wouldn’t walk up to him to buy anything. But Sally, she is cute i’n’t she. Her Ma through and through. I worried about making her too coarse, hoping she grows into an easier life. Thanks for being so kind to her. Say, what was your question?”
Hope none think I am sneering, I may just resemble Billy a little. I know that was is less entertaining. Side note: how not yet old enough was Jodi Foster in Taxi Driver? I think that movie got a few awards didn’t it?
Cxp, also realized I’m referring to classic Greek. I know even less about current language use. I thought I was told there are a couple differences from Frat House Greek or Astronomical use.
Ghost was of course joking but I too have bought locally grown corn from cute farm girls on Main Street here in town for years. I was the one who had told him to watch for the corn trucks as it was corn time.
Either the corn farmers have cute kids or they hire them. The other truck had hairy men.
Ghost is very upright man. Dickens and I were along for the corn purchase. I am planting a small patch of corn tomorrow for a fall garden.
Yesterday we planted okra, cucumbers, cantaloupe, butternut squash mini sized.
Ghost helped me. Farmer Ghost.
Our helper Terrie asked if it wasn’t too late to plant anything in garden? I told her no, it was just on time for planting a fall garden.
No one plants fall gardens here but mine usually do well if I can get stuff planted in time. Right now we are focused on cleaning up my front yard beds, one by one, including me beginning to pull out stuff that should never have been planted where it has been put and relocating stuff.
Back to Walmart tomorrow to look for shrub or perennial markdowns to fill holes where the stuff kid help planted and died.
There is a rose bed of Knock Out roses that came from same markdowns last year. They all lived and bloomed but Tony planted, not kids. I will clean it out in morning I think first.
Sometimes Brooke can be insightful:

Low has been in the +40s F last few nights. What’s a fall garden?
Peace,
