A short poem today, for a short post. This is from 1996, 20 years ago this month. Someone asked me about this strip in an email the other day, wanting help finding it. At the time, I wasn’t sure where to look, and it was just as well. I would have sworn I drew it no more than 10 years ago. Yeek.

Debbe 😉 It’s hard to beat the Righteous Brothers, but this ain’t bad. Neither is the scenery.

I did mention I always feed maraschino cherries to someone else? Would never not put them in a recipe.
I used to make a obscenely rich topping for ice cream that involved maraschino cherries, candied pecans, pralines and some alcoholic reduction. I didn’t eat that either.
Butting In:
Lid and Seat always down, unless in use.
Marshmallow anything is good.
Living South of I-10:
Category 1: Cancel Picnic.
Category 2: Pick up and put away yard stuff.
Category 3: Batten down hatches, this is getting serious.
Category 4: Leave and do not come back until power has been restored.
Category 5: Make arrangements to live somewhere else for a while.
Hi, John II in Gautier. Welcome to The Village. Not butting in at all.
Y’all be watchful down in Gauthier. No buts about it.
Glad to see you metaphorically speaking.
Good morning Villagers….
John II, great list…if there was a Cat 6, it would be to put your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye.
Please be safe and take all necessary precautions to all my friends in Florida, my prayers all with you all…………Amen
When we would build a fire out back, we made sure we had plenty of S’mores.
Jackie, Benedryl is my best friend. After being at the hen house and the pollen around here, if I don’t take two of them before bedtime my head feels like a mucous factory.
Mark, love the comic….cute and thanks for thinking of me.
…..if today is Thursday….then that means tomorrow is PAYDAY!!!!!
GR 😉 Johnny Mathis did a great rendition of this song, but it wouldn’t let me cut and paste 🙁

John II in Gautier: Absolutely true in our house about the lid and seat. TOO many things can go down the toilet.
Elephant herd. Close expl ore first.

My new least-favorite TV commercial (although that tends to change almost daily): The one with on-camera interviews with people concerning their “experience” with a particular brand of toilet tissue. It makes the ones with the bears look positively highbrow.
I know this is probably wrong on many levels, but I can’t help it. To me, the most uniformly entertaining thing on TV these days is watching the people who ASL for the hearing-impaired at the hurricane news conferences.
Good morning. Enthusiasm is Dickens greeting me when I wake up. Indifference is Skipper down at foot of bed.
Guess which is cat.
Ghost, you bring on commercials by turning on that screen. It’s a portal.
Wish I had not clicked on hurricane news. I didn’t turn on TV. Just my weather channel app.
Here is where I admit I am not much on praying but lots on loving. If you are in path I send both especially the prayers.
Take your pets and family and get out if evacuation us called for. Remember my story of having to register with police and have identity written on us because we stayed when police came door to door?
Good thoughts and prayers for those in Matthew’s path. Please do all you can to stay safe.
I’m concerned for my Jacksonville cousin, the widow of the recently deceased retired Naval Aviator. He had vast experience with preparing for weather-related problems, and I in fact learned a lot about hurricane preparation from talking to him over the years. One of his tricks was to stockpile about three dozen bags of potting soil in his garage. Not only did it serve its intended purpose during the year, but it made great sandbags to keep water out of the garage when it came rising up his driveway. Then, after the storm, if he had shingle or other minor roof damage, he could cover it with tarps weighted down with bags of the soil.
It appears that J’ville is going to get pasted. She has two sons there but one suffers from TBI and won’t likely be of much help in a crisis.
I’m even more concerned for my cousin since I Google Earthed her address and found it’s not far south of NAS Jacksonville, with a bay to the south of her and the Atlantic not too far to the east. On the positive side, I suspect her neighborhood is loaded with Navy retirees, and those folks look out for each other.
On way to orthopedist in Tulsa. Right now I’d vote to keep both knees. I feel awful. Not shuffling much, just feel punny.
Like you Ghost I am worried about the hurricane. No one wants to go to Tulsa according to song and commercial. I researched and there are now restaurants with raw, fried and grilled oysters, etc. In Tulsa. It is becoming more habitat and the museums are grest.
Ghost: Most of the Navy wives I’ve known have been pretty tough cookies when they needed to be and you’re right about them looking out for each other. Looks like the worst of the storm will be south of Jax.
Ghost: I just checked the storm surge prediction and she should be OK as far as that goes. From your description I’m assuming she’s in Orange Park. Next time you visit her make sure you go to Whitey’s Fish Camp on Doctor’s Lake (what you see as a bay).

Ghost, maybe this site will help you: http://jacksonville.com/
Looks like a favorite paleozoologist [and A-1 speaker], UNC Wilmington, is going to get wet.

Peace,
Made it to Tulsa. Am supposed to be in Port Aransas, TX tomorrow night for wooden boat show. Do not want to go, stuck paying for cottage for 3 days. Rats.
I need reason not to go.
We were scheduled to meet one of my wife’s author friends in Atlanta tomorrow. However she lives in Jacksonville and was planning to fly there. Since they have to evacuate anyway, I would guess that they could drive to Atlanta.
We will leave the metro Detroit area around 6:00 and drive to the hotel that I always stay at when i go to our plant. They gave me our corporate rate, which is $25-$50 less for other hotels in the area and the hotel has been recently refurbished. We should make to Atlanta by late afternoon.
