This oldie is from 2003. I was experimenting yet again with Janis’ hair, trying to come up with a cartoonish, stylized ‘do. Apparently I haven’t succeeded yet. I regularly get email asking, “What’s with Janis’ hair!?” I am at a loss as to what the writers mean, and they rarely elaborate, but it seems to agitate them greatly. It’s cartoon hair! I think they just remember her hair from the early days when it was long and prefer that. In my opinion, it looked pretty weird back then, too, but for some reason no one ever complain back then.

The Temple Owls are favored over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. One would not think an owl would stand much of a chance against a hurricane, would one?
Wondering when Tulsa last had a hurricane come visit. And also what made it gold in color.
Probably the same thing that made the Golden Driller golden, Ghost.
The bear whisked through.
Bird of Prey Passes Big Wind
Final:
Temple Owls 31
Tulsa Golden Hurricane 17
The score was actually tied 7-7 at the beginning of the second quarter. Arlo had probably already consumed all the comestibles and dozed off by then.
A sign of the End Times occurred last night.
The Browns won.
Should have known better than to think that was Ivy League football. Have no idea what Brown’s standing is there, nor Cornell’s, for that matter. Today, etting admitted to either school is not a breeze, nor to the other 6.

Arlo: “Well, duh, Janis. You’ve ‘progressed’ from the storied yellow bikini to a ‘flack jacket’ swimsuit to a ‘swim dress’.”

Good one, Mark!

In my younger, wilder (OK, military) days, we actually would celebrate the Autumnal Equinox much the same way we did New Year’s. We’d sit outside and toast every leaf that fell.
Yeah, pretty much any excuse would do.
These prairie dogs have obviously been putting on wt. for the winter.

Looks easy when the quarterbacks do it, eh, Arlo?
There will be no speculation on my part as to whether that makes Janis the “tight end” in the family. You’re welcome.
It isn’t worried about them, and they aren’t worried about it. Edenic.

That’s presumably a parent and two offspring. They’re just as big, but won’t go “bald” for 3 yr. All 3 waiting to scavenge any migrating waterfowl that happen to die on/near the dammed Miss. R., SE of the Cities.

Well, the eagles have been replaced by pelicans, but here’s today’s “Shoe.” I guess “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, is enforceable.

Thanks for the marble run TR
eMb: yesterday, 6:24pm: what was “it”?
Perhaps he knew this comic strip was coming?
http://hubriscomics.com/comic/hubris-it-girl/
c x-p: “It” was a full-sized immature [= brown] bald eagle, perched on a stump in shallow Miss. R. water, surrounded by unconcerned white pelicans, gulls, and terns, hence “Edenic.” Later saw an adult lone eagle* and 2 immatures perched in a similar area. Not “he” or “she” because only obvious sexual dimorphism = females average larger, as in many buzzards, hawks, and falcons.
*Be interesting to know how many Villagers know the reference.

Charlotte, you beat me to it! There’s also a movie from 1927 by that name about a Great War pilot.
Last Sunday evening, thanks to a cooperative chap in Germany (who helps run a great site), I learned of four new-to-me ancestors and the fact that they were, indeed, related to me. Yesterday I found a different but similar chap, and today found another twenty-six hitherto-unknown-to-me ancestors!
Considering all the ancillary data provided [names/dates/places/events] I shall be busy for quite a while listing them all on my tree.
One line now goes back to 1580. I’d really like to find the line which bears the family name….
