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, shoulder pain is often a sign of carrying too much weight in the chestular area. So weight loss could help that, also.
My favorite from the Shakespearean Insult Generator, so far…
“Thou art a naughty rogue”.
Perhaps because I have actually been called that. 😉
It also came up with “Thou art a drunken wench”. And what naughty rouge couldn’t find a use for a drunken wench?
Complete with the “thou art”? John named one of his designs Something of a Rogue which I thought a bit biographical.
Are you a time traveler as well as a ghost?
I will be sleeping in tomorrow, that is until Cilla girl wants breakfast. We saw a very funny play last night, “Don’t dress for dinner”. Two men are juggling three women and nobody can figure out who’s who.

Good morning Villagers…
Indy Mindy, we must live in a parallel universe..you too, huh? After GR’s ‘California Dreaming’, I’ll be singing that all day now.
Phone rang last night, it was Jonathon….he said not to tell Ian until tomorrow (today) that the auger is out again. I’m going to wait until we are in the hen house to tell him and I have the truck keys hidden in my purse 🙂
Steve, I asked Skittles where he thought he’d be in four years…..told him, and he said “that’s awful”…
Jerry, glad you had a good evening on the town.
ya’ll have a blessed day
GR 😉 and it will be, won’t it?

Bacon later, more sleep now.
God bless us every one.
Finally fell asleep after Debbie got up. Insomnia and pain.
Good morning all. Dickens is lying with his head on hip that doesn’t hurt as much.
Up and dressed, eating oatmeal with almonds and cranberries, plus had a Glucerna shake to make sure I got protein. Boiling some chiogga beets from garden
Making another lettuce salad from kitchen garden with orange sections, the striped beets, almonds and whatever I dredge up from pantry and fridge and garden..
For some reason, peregrine

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is that thing?
I sang at my daughter-in-law’ Uncle’s Memorial service Yesterday and the widow requested “You Raise Me Up”. I met my accompanist a few minutes before and she warned me that “this has quite a range”. Without sounding too cocky, I told her ” I know” after a quick run through, we decided to do a second verse. And she decided to take it up a higher octave on the second refrain. Fortunately it came out pretty good and I was glad to help.
Steve, you have a lovely voice, you are entitled to be cocky. It does have quite a range and I am sure you hit every note.
Washing the lettuce for a salad and some mustard to stir fry with my salmon tonight. I may go cut another mustard. Our hot weather is bolting stuff and I need to pull out mustard plants.
Anyone besides me having difficulties viewing the OF area? From the lack of comments and advisories here, I suspect that I am not alone in this.
Jackie,
Aside from the exaggerated description of mustard plants in the N.T., we knew nothing about mustard when we first sowed a bit in one row in our large garden in the ’70s.
Wonderful stuff: fresh greens in the garden every year in May [at the time, it was not safe to put in tomato plants in Bemidji before 1 June]. Save a few seed when they bolt if you want some in a different place next season, or to give away, but we never had to buy seed, just weed them out of the garden to plant the zucchini, kohlrabi, tomato, eggplant, and whatever. Favorite JYOTi canned Indian food is Delhi Saag, a spicy mix of spinach and mustard greens, suitably mixed with whatever else is going in the soup or casserole.
Peace,
Jackie, it’s good to know you’re not too old to cut the mustard anymore. (My dad loved that song.)
Ha, or cook it too. I decided there must be an interesting soup. Well, of course, so I am adapting a Martha Stewart version of an Italian bean soup with mustard greens.
I loved pot likker when I lived on farm but it had all those bacon droppings and hog jowls in it, along with butter slathered corn bread.
I decided long ago that most “new” recipes are just “old” recipes either substituting weird or exotic ingredients, or combining two existing recipes, a la Italian bean soup with mustard greens. Sometimes the combo works very well, and sometimes it just ruins the two perfectly good “mother” recipes.
But of course the pot likker had bacon droppings and hog jowls in it. Everyone knows that the secret ingredient in most very good home-style dishes is some form of pork. 🙂
Since Trucker hasn’t published one of his jokes lately…
An older gentleman who had suffered from hearing loss for many years finally broke down and got hearing aids. They really made a remarkable difference in how well he heard. About a week after he got them, a friend asked him how he liked them.
“Well,” he says, “just fine. I can easily hear things clear across the room now.”
“My, that’s wonderful,” said the friend. “And how do your kids like them?”
“I don’t really know,” was the reply. “But I’ve changed my will three times since I got them!”

All southern cooks maintained a drippings can by the stove, usually a coffee or lard can. Being yuppy before they existed, I had a nice crock or similar with a lid to keep out critters. The VERY best way to cook sweet potatoes is to Pierce them and dip them in the bacon crock and put them in oven in pan until they caramelize.
Actually Italians do eat mustards as bitter greens, as do Africans and Asians and for all I know the rest of the world. My favorite peanut soup is African and has mustard in it.
Best canapés I ever served (a standard item) were bite sized mustard green pies, redolent of bacon and onions, a three ingredient hand pie, so tiny the buttery crust was folded over a teaspoon of filling.
A labor of love.
