Obviously, summer hours have gone into effect here. However, the door is open, and the lights are one. Help yourself to whatever’s in the fridge. You long-time visitors take care of the newcomers. By the way, today’s classic strip is from way back in 1993 and probably was born from the frustrations of being a humorist, especially an oblique one.

Grew up back E w/ both, but maybe fireflies more common. Peace,
Here’s a Happy Fourth post from Ghost and me. It has photos of me, Ghost and Terrie as well as American flags, bacon and cheeseburgers. Very patriotic. Ghost is most legally armed , something I find extremely reassuring, patriotic and appropriate on a day honoring our forefathers who rebelled and overthrew a monarchy they disagreed with.
Neither Ghost nor I advocate rebellion but I do love having a qualified armed man at my side. Day and night.

Jackie pulls out phone to make photos.
Me: “Smile, Terrie.”
Terrie: “I am smiling!”
Me: “Then why do you look like you are in pain?”
Steve, in the Deep South we say “cokes”. Of course, there are several varieties of cokes…Coca Cola cokes, Pepsi cokes, Dr Pepper cokes, Royal Crown cokes, etc.
And as my Alabama grandfather would say, “Co-cola”.

You have a hairline like my father – he said the horns were coming through.
Talking to people that knew him as a kid said the horns were always there.
Mom said “Men bald in front were thinkers, those bald in back were lovers, –
when the front met the back they only think they are lovers.
I like fireworks (though I would not spend much money on them) –
Our founding fathers admonished us to celebrate fireworks and ringing bells.
I hope your community let the bells ring out at 1pm. A tradition reinstated

Listened to Boston Pops and Leroy Anderson on MPR
then Moron Choir.
Prayers for all – God bless our Nation
OB: Liked your mom’s observation!
“Moron Choir”? Too easy….
And mildly offensive… but if we Mormons took umbrage at every slight, we’d never have time for anything else.
As for the MoTabs, as we call them, their singing is superb… and perhaps you had a typo, Bear? Your other comments haven’t displayed any mean spiritedness in the past.
I also listened to the Boston Pops performing Leroy Anderson our local NPR station. He’s one of my favorite composers; our local orchestra has played quite a few of them over the years.
Here’s the link to Terrie our cute pet and house caretaker. She is wearing her Anne Taylor shorts we gave her, they don’t allow her short sborts.

She is funny and fearless.
Jimmy, today’s comic is spot on. Got me to laugh out loud.
My childhood home was too old to have a phone niche, but I recognized it immediately. Our phone was on the wall.
Today’s strip is a classic. We had the phone nook and occasionally would knock the phone and the phone book off when we went running through the house. It is also the spot that my brother Bill on the day of our Mom’s funeral stuffed his foot through the ceiling when he decided to go into the attic. I just turned to my wife, who had never met him until that day and said “Well that’s Bill”.
My Grandma was a housewife, but had great artistic ability. She actually redesigned the farmhouse that she and my Grandpa lived it. She figured out a way to put a hole in the wall between the back hallway and the Living Room/Dining Room so that one could answer the phone from the front or the back of the house.

It says ‘Moses’, but, IMO, those two boys are Jacob [L] and his ‘older’, red-head twin Esau, the favorite of their father Isaac, who is holding Esau’s hand. Some of you know how to track down a painting rather than search through multiple prints for sale ads. How?
Peace,
