As far as I know, introduced House Mice [Mus musculus and allies] rarely, if ever, spend the summer outdoors this far north. Don’t know if any field guides or online sites have distribution maps differentiating indoor vs. indoor ranges. May check.
Peace,
About your Monday strip, very identifiable. Funny.
About your cartooning, you keep getting better and better. Great dark background and coloration in this “simple” strip.
That was me. The kitchen cleaning continues slowly but I am down to finishing wiping down stuff like cabinet doors, fridge again and appliances.
About Sunday cartoon I asked Ghost where Skipper was? Went searching, curled up in his/Dickens bed asleep in kitchen.
Speaking of the Weather Channel, I can’t recall the last time that I checked it for anything.
Now, I use my phone exclusively – providing that I ever care about the weather.
Usually, I just look out the window.
I mostly use weather apps to plan whether to take my telescope out that evening once I’m done with a rehearsal or family activity. At the moment the coming week looks good every night.
Woke up at 5.30 a.m. by Skipper frantically meowing. Thought he wanted out. Nope, he did a Ludwig dash to kitchen ti show me the one or two spots you could see bottom of bowl.
So, worked on kitchen more, dragged towels and linens to laundry and reopened the Chinese laundry . Really need to eat breakfast, my morning pills do not like empty stomach.
French toadt?
‘Enry ‘Iggins: “The French don’t care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly.”
Actually, what I came here for was to post this:

An adult, presumably one of the Great Spirit parents. Am guessing junior has gone off to establish its own territory somewhere. Don’t know its sex, but think it’s banded, so presume MDNR determined that when it was on the ground below the fly-blown nest. Critters live hard lives.

Do you mean the 4 panels with blue backgrounds? That site seems a bit ambiguous as to what goes with what.
Thanks for the effort, though.
Something I found on the Internet and would like verified by someone who’d know more than I about mosquitos: They apparently shut down their bloodsucking activities when the temperature falls below 50F. True or False?
They completely shut down. Basically hibernate. They do operate best at 80°or higher unless it gets too dry.
TR: This native Floridian can’t help with your mosquito question. When the temperature is below 50, my skin is all covered up, probably with multiple layers, so they have no target ?
That ? was supposed to be a 😉
Here in Utah that’s light jacket weather, unless it’s also windy or raining. When I was trucking I usually got by with a hooded windbreaker until the temps dropped below freezing since I generally produced more heat than I needed when working. Now that circumstances have retired me from the road, I rely on a heavier jacket… but at the local schools the kids seem impervious to even colder extremes during the winters. They’re so anxious for warmer weather during the late winter/early spring that they go back to shorts and flip-flops when it hits 50F.
The world is so full of a number of things. [Is that wording correct?]

Peace,
That’s the “next” video after the one about the kodkod, Leopardus guigna, the world’s smallest wild cat, which I cannot now find. Maybe if we just arrow left from the trickery above. Peace,
Let’s try this:
