Since I didn’t post on Sunday, I’m showing you this old A&J classic from Valentine’s Day, 2007. While we’re at it, I might as well wish you a Happy George Washington’s Birthday, aka Presidents Day. Where I come from, George Washington’s Birthday always meant “white sales,” when the woman of the house (Naturally!) could get good deals on sheets and towels. Why this was the case, I have no idea. But let’s talk about cartoons.
As some of you are aware, there are a lot of comics on the gocomics.com Web site, where you find today’s Arlo & Janis online. Many of these comics are Web-exclusive; they do not appear in newspapers. The consensus is, these efforts are a transitional frontier, their creators trail-blazers for aspiring cartoonists of the future. To be honest, my knowledge of this frontier hardly is exhaustive and probably not better than that of many of you reading this. However, I did want to mention three that I like. I think they’re charming. When you have a chance, check out “The Sunshine State” by Graham Nolan, “Connie to the Wonnie” by Connie Sun, and last but not least “Wallace the Brave” by Will Henry. Let me know what you think. Do you have any favorites?

That looks like the wall behind me except for the fireplace. That’s in another room.
This is only the 101st post.
What’s wrong?
Everyone on vacation?
I hate it when real life intervenes and interferes with my hobbies!
Maybe everyone IS on vacation. I am at computer again having cooked and eaten supper. Dearest Ghost, I hope you are okay after all the dental work. It must have been rough, to need recovery from.
I will look for Mindy on Facebook and report if I find her; I hope her grandmother is improving.
I’m fine now, Sweet Charlotte. It was just “informal” recovery, i.e., I just didn’t feel like doing much for the rest of the day following my dental work yesterday.
Debbe 😉 If I had dollar for every time I’ve heard this…

post waiting moderation – will split it
A Glass of Wine . . .
>
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don’t and are
always seen with a bottle of water in their hand, Ben Franklin said:
> “In wine there is wisdom,
> In beer there is freedom,
> In water there is bacteria.”
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have
demonstrated that if we drink
1 liter of water each day,
at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of
Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) – bacteria found in feces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop annually.
Real life intervened – nasty thing called work.
Supposed to be in 40?s Fri.
Mine just disappeared. Twice! Dickens and I are on road trip. He’s asleep.
However,
We do NOT run that risk when drinking wine and beer (or rum, whiskey
or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification
process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.
Remember:
> Water = Poop,
> Wine = Health
more moderation
Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink
water and be full of sh it.

VERIFICATION:
BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE DRINK A LOT OF WATER WHILE IN SESSION.
THIS EXPLAINS THE RESULTS THEREIN . . . .
In college we did a lab cultivation of e coli with swabs collected from huge number of specimens collected on campus, dated and time, location.
Water fountains were greatest source of e coli, even worse than toilets!
Which confirms what Old Bear just said.
That looks weird on this end
Beg pardon?
Grandma is doing much better. Now Marie is in the hospital! Will report more later when I know more. I built in a vacation week for next week, just in case things with went south(er). Looks like I am using it to visit with a different grandma.
Good morning Villagers….
Going to be a great warm up over the weekend. High fifties today, and sixties tomorrow and Sunday…..partly cloudy and windy…I’ll take it.
Is someone on Facebook checking on Indy Mindy? Gal? Miss Charlotte? Mark?
Old Bear, like the explanation of the Senate and the House….makes sense to me 🙂
Jerry, I bet they don’t have many homes in Florida with fireplaces, or do they?
Back to comics, went through some of the ones that I have bookmarked and not clicked on lately…so I clicked on ‘Inherit the Mirth’ and what do I find….a chicken joke:

I’m here. Had a very busy day yesterday, and payday, so after work had to go out and pick up some things. Got in late, did a little cleaning and off to bed. In about 10 minutes I will clock in and start the process all over again.
Jerry in FL, never been in the Alabama Shakespeare Festival Buildings. Went to a Scottish Festival there over 20 years ago. On the way out to the main road I got T-boned by a woman who deliberately ran a red light. Car not badly damaged, I was sore for a couple of weeks and insurance declared the car totaled, just a couple of months after I had it paid off!
Good afternoon Villagers. We are spending the day in Vienna before boarding the ovenight train to Warsaw. Will then enjoy a leisurely brunch in Warsaw before boarding another overnight train, this time to Moscow. Will be there in time for Sunday breakfast. Then I will spend a few days in conference before we fly home.

I’ll bet some of you have never seen this phenomenon, or perhaps never heard of or even conceived of it. I’ve not seen it on L. Superior, but have on Lake Bemidji. With a strong wind, it can cut your dock [pier, really] off at the knees. Will repost if JJ puts a new comic up.

Peace, emb
sand, I hope you tried the pirogi and kie?basa.
Say hello to Vlad for us 🙂
Dear emb, the video was really interesting. Have never seen such a thing. Could be dangerous ! Sandcastler, I’m envious. Your trip sounds awfully interesting (with lots of good food too.)
I didn’t see Indy Mindy on Facebook last night, but am glad to see her post today that her grandmother is better.
