Sticky Fingers

By Jimmy Johnson


Honest! I did not mean to leave the previous post up so long, the one with the comments about the T-shirt clearance sale. However, we have sold a few shirts! The truth is, the holiday deadlines and the holidays themselves have taken their toll on our online enterprises the past few weeks, but that will end soon. About Tuesday, I’ll try to be back on a more regular basis. I was doing so well for a while there. Before then, I will try to be back with a Happy New Year post, but should I not make it, let me wish you an early… Happy New Year!!!

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Good morning and almost New Year. Ghost and Dickens and I just woke up from a long winters nap.

    I have obviously been half lucid, I had forgotten about bla keyed peas, greens and cornbread.

    Still plenty of time today to pick up New Year’s Day groceries. Do your black-eyed peas and greens get cooked with ham hock or salt pork? I don’t know which is luckier!

    mindful webworker, I really liked your ‘friends-in-four-panels’ and will probably find a reason to use it somewhere down the road. Thanks in advance.

    Wishes for continuing prosperity, and recovery from all ills, to everyone.

    Llee, very good to read the improvements for your brother. Glad you have them with you.

    Ghost, I liked Tamara’s brief post you linked to yesterday. Not sure if it is a full counterpoint to her classification system, but Darin Bell has another view in today’s

    Ham hocks but my mama and granny used whatever was around including fresh pork, supplemented by drippings in an old coffee can.

    Of course the greens came fresh out of the garden in yard for New Year’s dinner.

    The peas came out of the freezer from the summer garden.

    Progress: Today’s Dustin could not have been printed in the ’30s-’40s.

    Nuts! Thought I was copying the comics kingdom URL, but obviously was not. [Also, champagne beforehand is no help. Shakespeare said so.]

    Peace,

    Good morning from frigid Tulsa, where it is now 16 degrees with a forecast low of 8 for tonight. Jackie, you didn’t tell me Tulsa was part of the Arctic Circle!

    Glad to hear from you, eMb. I read where you’ve been having some record cold on the order of -30F. Stay bundled up.

    Happy New Year to all the Village, and especially to our inspiration, Jimmy.

    Want to get this out early. I work tomorrow so I will be asleep long before midnight.

    Happy New Year all! Just celebrated my 34th wedding anniversary– steak dinner out with my bride. It was cold on my wedding day, much like it has been today.

    Although it was not -30F, it was fairly cold today in OK. In fact, at noon when I was out, I heard a loud clanging sound and looked up to see a brass monkey looking down in dismay at a body part of his that had fallen off.

    And it will be even colder tomorrow.
