The original “Car Talk” sequence from 1991 ran for five days; here are the final two installments. We’ll miss you, Tom! Someone mentioned that there’ve been other “Car Talk” comic strips within A&J. I think I do recall one strip in which it was mentioned, but I can’t remember any specifics. Whatever it was, it wasn’t as much fun as the cartoons we’ve been seeing this week. I’m glad many of you have enjoyed it, and it’s on to something else next week.

Lindsey Stirling Sister Debut – Studio C. You’ve seen Lindsey Stirling play the violin. Now her long-lost sister Leila is here — with the Sousaphone:

GR6, the engineer of old no. 488 looked pleased to have a new “fireman” along. I imagine that the operators of no. 488 insisted on having full coverage of flame retardant cotton before allowing Sheena on board.
We had lunch at the Rattlesnake Saloon in Alabama last week. This is not a cave as you usually think of one. Think of a scallop shell half open and this is roughly the shape of the cave. A restaurant has been constructed back in the opening. They claim that no snakes have been found actually in the cave but they had the skins of some that had been found in the area. The experience was memorable for me because I ate a jalapena pepper, fried, by mistake and it took a lot of iced tea to stop the burning. I can eat mildly spicy food but nothing really hot. It was also an exciting experience because you get in and out of this place in the back of a four wheel drive vehicle moving down a trail at high speed on the way in and back up on the way out. Tomorrow-the Coon Dog Cemetary.
The Coon Dog cemetery is one of the most touching and beautiful places I have ever visited.
It was a long, long time ago I visited the Coon Dog Cemetery. Over 25 years ago probably. There were no signs then but I knew where it was because of either NPR or PBS, one or the other.
It was off beaten trail then for sure, I wanted directions.
Saw a group of men outside a old wooden church who looked like hunters (they were) but it was a Sunday. They gave me exact directions and even had dogs buried there.
I walked through that cemetery reading the messages and I bawled like a kid.
Love, Jackie
Happy 239th Birthday, United States Marine Corps. “Still crazy after all these years.” Oorah! 🙂
I never thought you were, Ghost Sweetie. Having tried both, and I owned a Walther PK .380 for a while, I just prefer the revolver. Each to their own, as my Granny used to say!
Just so you’ll know, Jean dear, I own four .38 snubbies and two .380 semi-auto “pocket pistols”. I agree with your Granny…whatever works.
Neither am I a “caliber snob”. The number of bullet calibers it wouldn’t bother me to be shot with is exactly zero. 🙂
Ghost and Jackie and Jean (and various others here, I’m sure), I know almost nothing about guns nor do I care in a personal way, but I always like to learn new stuff, so I read everything that comes up here–it’s usually interesting and often funny. Loved the fact that you’re not a “caliber snob,” Ghost!!!
OF webcam is live again, but still no predictions. I s’pect there may be none for a few months. Still neat to drop in to see bison and such. Peace, emb
I think I observed a different bird on the back feeding site today. As I have no idea where my Peterson’s guide may be, let me reveal what I recall. Maybe a bell will ring in someone’s noggin.
Size and shape about like a sparrow, but with a lower brow, making its head appear more streamlined. Extended thin bill – insectivore?? – perhaps a half inch or 5/8 inch long. Very notably, it had a bright white patch under the bill all the way down to its figurative belly-button. Other coloring was in tones of black/grey or perhaps dark blue; not brown. There were smallish areas of lighter grey or dirty white amidst those darker regions. No red top knot seen.
Ding?
Either 9CL has gone into sudden reruns, or even McEldowney has finally realized he’s lost control of the plot.

Good morning Villagers….
Today is a tribute to the women and men who served (and still serving I say) to keep our America the land of the free. I salute you. I thank you. I love you.
Long hard day in the hen laying business….had to work both hen houses…arrrggghhh, had to sew a broken belt (yes, it had to be a bottom belt) that fell into the flippin pit. The other hen house has not been blown or swept out in over a week, and I feel it today in my head.
But on a lighter note, it’s another day in paradise 🙂 with an ‘Arctic blast’ coming in…55 degrees now, 29 degrees tonight….another arrrggghhhh.
Very interesting posts on guns GR 😉 , learning a few things.
Jerry, glad you enjoyed your ride to the saloon…sounds cool. And I have heard and read about the coon dog cemetery….very touching comments left behind on some of the dogs’ headstones.
Have a blessed day.
And Jackie….Dollar General is giving 11 percent off on all purchases today 🙂 Yup, a Veteran’s day sale.
Bryan…..clicked on that link and got some cover page of GoComics…….yeah, I miss Mindy’s rambling here….remember Russel Way Out There?….Shelly was good at that…too funny
Important List
15. The worst thing to be without. Hope
Good morning Debbe! Enjoy your important list. My daddy was a veteran of WWII and I also would like to say thank you to all of you out there who have served our country in the military. I appreciate your service.
