It isn’t easy depicting Arlo and Janis in the act of kissing. They don’t really have lips, or even mouths sometimes. Arlo’s nose gets in the way. And kissing is really kind of a silly act when you step back and observe it objectively, something admittedly difficult to do. Anyway, I think it turned out as well as could be in this old strip from 2004. We’ll talk about that boat next week.

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year
Is the spring! I do – Don’t you? ‘Course you do.
That’s Tom Lehrer, no? Tried to get Steve Staruch to play Rickety Tickety Tin the Friday before Paddy’s Day, but it’s not in the MPR cd library. I may have an extra cc.
Looks like the Savannah owls w/b eating crow. Cannot tell if it’s Fish or American.

Peace,
In my church we depict wingless angels, as in this piece by a SDA artist, Harry Anderson:

I’ve always been impressed by the vitality depicted in his paintings.
emb, welcome. I right-clicked on the image and Chrome asks search Google for image. When I did, up popped that response among others. Much more fun and educational than playing slots. You always get something and it costs nothing. Win-win!
Jackie, sorry you are having trouble getting away. If I had known how lousy a work day I was having, I might have run away to join your boating circus! Sunny but cold here, glad to be indoors.
I can still name, in descending rank, the nine orders of angels as I learned them in college*. Of which, by the way, Angel is the lowest rank.
*And no, it wasn’t a seminary.
GR6: Didn’t know there were 9 [and, of course, doubt there are]. Who came up with 9, and what was their source. Somehow doubt it’s scriptural, but would like to know if it is or not. And what college course would teach that?
Peace,
That’s right, emb, Tom Lehrer. They’re the opening lines of Poisoning Pigeons in the Park.

A little music for Jackie and her boat building project. No, her project doesn’t have anything to do with guns, but the boats they will build are named Saturday Night Specials.
A female cat with a men’s underwear fetish. Now, that’s different!

emb: Here’s a Wikipedia entry about the hierarchy or orders of Christian angels.

It was an advanced English course, and we were studying literature containing references to such.

Found a new cat strip on GoComics. See above for a sample.
Ruth Anne:
Thanks for the memory jog.
About a year and a half ago, my wife and I wanted to rent an SUV to haul a ton of wedding stuff from here to Denver, and Enterprise offered a Santa Fe.
We liked it quite a lot.
I’ll put that one into the mix with the Equinox and the Escape.
Why oh why do I listen to GPS? Two hours through Dallas at rush hour towing a boat. De ja vu all over again.
Oh dear, Jackie. I wish it was easier for you. Let’s hope that you are now relaxing at some nice motel, and that tomorrow will be better. May you have a good night’s sleep.
Much love,
Charlotte

Sometimes paper is WAY better.
The cartoonist’s dilemma:

Debbe, Indiana did better than many! At least I still have Kansas to root for next weekend.
Ms. Charlotte I left out that the trailer tail lights went out in Dallas rush hour, my truck tells you that so the turn lane change wasn’t working. Like they pay attention anyway?
So I knew and had a LA Quinta picked out at various points on I-35 in case I had to bail. Sure enough I got pulled over by a Texas trooper. They audition those guys! I told him I knew and was checking in at next town where there was a LA and an auto repair like O’Reilly which I did. He warned me and no ticket.
But this has happened over a dozen times with this trailer. We worked on it two hours this morning so I could leave.

That is the way with electrical systems that get dunked in water.
About the only way to get around it is to put a set of the removable clamp
on type on the transom of the boat so they do not get dunked.
(Hint – remove the lights BEFORE backing in the water 🙂 )
Good morning Villagers…..
Sitting here looking at the full moon….and don’t know what star lies to the north of it…nice to look at and contemplate today’s adventures.
For three days now, I have tried to get into my email….the little circle around the word ‘loading’ just keeps on spinning….after about five minutes, I throw my hands up in the air and #%^ it.
Jackie, be glad you’re not pulling your boat up here….we’re supposed to have wind gusts up to 40 miles an hour…..what part of Padre Island are you going?
Be safe……
Nancy…both IU and Kansas play late at night…arrgghhh. Must take nap before games. Would love to see Duke (the team everyone loves to hate) ousted 🙂
GR 😉 a sad, but true story for many…..

I am awake and going to O’Reilly or Autozone. I knew this town had them, they are across street from each other, one reason I stopped here.
Not a handy person. Light switches challenge me at times.
This is going to challenge me. Not a bear in his natural environment.
Side: “You need to remember, emb, that an angel is a messenger …”
Amen. I’ve known that for a while, since shortly after I became a Methodist. I’ve met several, I think, mostly recognized after the fact. No wings, mostly female [contra scriptura and tradition]. Married one. Cannot, of course, prove that, but have letters, a box of them, mostly written in early ’11, that suggest I’m right.
Debbe: Jupiter, I think. Watched it from my Mpls. aerie last evening. Peace,
