I wonder how many plays on words are attached to the name of hair-styling establishments; they seem particularly vulnerable to attempted cleverness. I thought I might as well play out this string from 1997 and show you the first image of Arlo with his then-new haircut. I hate drawing hair. There is nothing more challenging about cartooning for me than drawing hair. Long or short, I have always thought Arlo’s hair looks ridiculous, but by now he wouldn’t be Arlo without that hair. However, no one has ever complained about Arlo’s hair. But Janis! There are people out there who hate her hair and are always asking stuff like, “Why does she have a pot on her head?” I was giving a talk one time when two women in the audience got into a heated exchange about Janis’ hair. One thought it was terrible, and the other thought it was fine. I’ve always thought it looks all right, for cartoon hair. Better than Arlo’s!

Jackie is home and just shared some cheese and whole grain crackers with Dickens. I am plumb worn out as granny used to say or I think she did.
Bad news is I have spinal injury and am referred to one of the back specialists in the 30 doctor orthopedic group. I need surgery but what is likelihood of that? Everyone is lining up for cutting off something when I reach one year post carotid surgery. I guess they will triage me?
Went and bought two dump trucks of rock to add to drive way, a third truck load of crushed granite to set stones in and nine additional gallons of blue and white paint for house. New roof on, gutters coming Wednesday. Two new patios are ready to start and we have decided to tear down old car Port and build a new from scratch guest room out there so we don’t have to deal with building flaws in carport. It’s one room with a shower sink and an ice box and microwave. We haven’t figured out how to handle toilet.
Composting?
Porta-Potty? Honey wagon? Rice paddy?
YouTube sometimes seems to border on spam. It finally quit suggesting breastfeeding videos for me (and I never did figure out why it started doing that), but now it has suddenly and inexplicably begun offering me “nude yoga”, apparently as samples of videos one may purchase or rent.
I always thought YouTube prohibited nudity. Not that I would ever watch such a thing, of course. Well, perhaps just once, to see if that policy has changed.
The young lady I saw was impressively skilled at yoga (I guess, not being an expert on it), but she fell squarely into the category of “rather-not-see-naked”, because she showed me something I really didn’t care to see…basically her entire her skeletal system. I’d have to describe her body type as somewhere between “emaciated” and “anorexic”. Ironically, I don’t think she would have even looked good in yoga pants.
Jackie, maybe the doctors will all draw straws, short straw gets first crack. Seriously, the spinal doc should go first because those ailments can cause referred pain all over the body and make diagnosing other problems much harder.

Leaving early in the am to pick up what of Mother’s furniture I am bringing home. So far my brother and I seem to be doing this without any problems. Fingers are crossed.
emb, you are most welcome. I especially like the shot of the one walking on the rail. Good view of the feet and legs, and display of the talons. That’s one thing the Telegraph seems to be good about, publishing good animal photos.
And a good Caturday morning Villagers….
Mark, thanks a bunch…you are such a wealth of info, I pulled up some info on the Honda Trooper for salvage parts….going to get in touch with nephew-in-law, Andrew and see what, when and where. I loved my Isuzu, and I want it back. I’m glad you have back up in your mother’s healthcare.
Looked at the pics of the baby falcons, and the other four…I love to watch the hawks flying around out here in the country.
Jackie, Mark has made a good point on your back….so much radiates from our spinal cord.
Steve…going to use that one today on Skittles….it’ll probably go right over his head 🙂
Still having auger problems….they just need to put in a new feeding trough, my water consumption for the hens was down yesterday…that means that one section isn’t eating much because they’re not drinking. I just know it’s going to affect my egg totals.
gotta go…..
GR 😉 guess who????

Good morning. I slept until 8.30. Of course I think I fell asleep at 8.30 too.
Kept waking up and had no idea where I was. About to fall back asleep. I can hear the birds outside bedroom and this house is well insulated.
F150 lag?
Jackie, great music to wake to, isn’t it?
Debbe, you are welcome. I hope that helps expand your pool of parts so you get your car back on its wheels soon and cheaply. Glad you are doing better too. That second cat looks like one of our outdoor freeloaders, but the color pattern is different on ours.
No, Honda minivan. The truck was too hard to climb into.
I gained weight in Cajun land. Going to face the scales and get back on track. Less weight will help black and knees. Shoulders?
Back. Back. Back. Why would it change what I type correctly? All this talk of hair makes me want to get mine done and my nails.
Guys are painting edges of roof for new gutters on Wednesday. The yard and patios and decks are looking good, can’t wait to get new stone terraced patio off the porch done after 20 years of waiting.
I blame my computer for some of my typos. The recent OS X versions from Apple that have been named after mountains have a unique feature: Typing a filename before the Save As window opens sometimes rearranges the order of the letters. So, I need to be more patient of struggling technology?
I have experimented with this “feature” with others watching me key in the name and they agree it’s the OS that’s screwy. Well, screwier than I!
Baltimore peregrines: http://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/peregrine-falcon-webcam three eggs and one eyass [that’s what it says you call them], that hatched this morning. Adult is on top, so I’ve not seen the kid yet, but we might, because they should start feeding it. Peace,
Baltimore ospreys: http://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/osprey-cam Only two eggs as far as I can tell. They’ve been incubating only a week or so. One has a bit of brown plumage on its nape and seems to be the larger bird, so I’m guessing that’s the female. Peace,
Today is “National Talk Like Shakespeare Day”. For those of you needing a little help…

The last panel of 4.22.16 is my life motto (and current situation). Sigh.
Two eyasses; adult now feeding them. http://www.chesapeakeconservancy.org/peregrine-falcon-webcam Peace,
Hi, Lady Mindy. I noted your absence and mentally blamed it on you having nothing much positive to report. Unfortunately, it appears I was correct. Illegitimi non carborundum.
Love, Ghost
