I’ve told you I don’t sketch much, and that’s true. That doesn’t mean I never sketch. These are some selected doodles of late, as I kick around yet again an ancient concept from the recesses of my brain. Speaking of recess, I can say I am exploring ideas, but I think in reality these sketches depict what I’d rather be doing than what I am actually doing at the moment. Note the mermaid: I have always thought real mermaids probably more closely resemble manatees than fish. I mean, that makes sense, doesn’t it? And they probably aren’t quite as pretty and don’t sing quite as well as we give them credit. Anyway, don’t ask me what this is all really about, because I can’t say.

Good morning Villagers….
Too much depth in some of the above postings….over my head. But leave it to GR 😉 to bring it back to curves and curls 🙂
I’m like Miss Charlotte….if I watch TV, it needs to be a movie. The only debate I faced last night was do I want to sit through an episode of “Naked and Afraid” (my husband and BIL l believe live for Thursday nights) or go to bed….I went to bed…at 8ish and wide awake at 3ish.
Work was horrible yesterday…the humidity was terrible, and with a hen house full of dust and crap, my eggs looked nasty. Read an article yesterday morning on the Avian flu and the Eastern Migratory Flyway…can’t remember the name of the swans, but they are on their way to their winter grounds flying over Penn. The poultry industry is starting to ready itself for the fall season of migration and another round of viral infections affecting the industry. You might start saving your money for that Thanksgiving turkey.

ya’ll have a blessed day
Oh, and the name of that movie with Mel Gibson and Piper Laurie….”Tim”
GR 😉 add this one to your playlist when you have some extra time….love the piano in this tune.

Regarding outdated alcohol, a local establishment gave Ian a going away present last week. A case of outdated Budweiser bottles….they couldn’t sell it since it was outdated. Tasted good to me 🙂 There actually is a “birthdate” posted on the cases…..and it says “birthdate” and gives the date….
it’s one of my favorite sayings….and then I add “and I’m the most blissful person there is”!

emb, thanks for the explanation. I proved I really didn’t know chemistry, didn’t I? Everybody have a great and safe Friday.

“BTW, the various isomers of octane all have the formula C8H18, not C8H10.” Embarrassing: I envisioned the easiest structural formula, and forgot the 8 oxygens on the other side. Mea culpa. emb
To our fearless leader, JJ,
A belated “Thanks” for the kind treatment of a fellow veterinarian in your daily strip. Surely he must be a graduate of the Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine. There are many of us old retired large animal vets out in the world and we all thank you.
Blessings and prayers for all who need them and we all need them,sometime.

Debbe 😉 Thanks for the tune, hon. It’s a keeper. And have a Happy and Blissful Payday today. But beware tomorrow…it’s National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day.
Yeah, I look at the ladies. Why not? I’m not depressed (usually), nor old (by choice, anyway), and I’m sure not dead. 😉 BTW, that show should actually be called “Pixilated and Afraid”. (OK, I checked it out. So sue me. 🙂 )
Whoops, left something out.

Also, re today’s realtime, I don’t think he’s creepy. Maybe Janis thinks he’s “good creepy.” We’re all kinda strange.
Peace, emb
Otherwise, no one would ever watch vampire movies. BTW, I find them silly and boring.
Kind of like, well, you know.
