I can’t believe it’s been five years since I drew this series; it seems like only yesterday. However, from the summer of 2009, Arlo returns to his roots to make a statement.

I remember reading that Warren Buffett likes to eat Dairy Queen.
Was that the brand they were eating?
Love, Jackie Monies
Yeah, so that “selfie” Jerry. Not sure if the kid knew who the old geezer was sitting beside the Paul geezer until someone told him. Was a good picture.
I am back! I had a great vacation, spending most of it in the Greek islands. Hope everybody here is okay. I have been worried about Jackie Monies, glad to see her posting. Ghost, you would have been disappointed in my swimsuit, it was for sure no bikini. It was a one piece, with a sheer fabric between the top and the bottom. Boy did I get kidded by the teenaged girl from the family in the next cottage. I got her bck, though, by comparing my butt to her wide-load. Love to all!
Geezer followed by Greek. I’m not buying it. Maybe the Geek islands?
As far as I can tell, the Greeks have no word for “Geek” 😛
Ghost – I blame the genius who thinks 12 40oz bottles of beer is just fine in cardboard. I beg to differ. Moving a case when the bottom gave way; then the *!£#%* mop bucket fell over as I was cleaning up!
Long nap, a few chores done, relaxing bubble bath later, I’m ready to take on the rest of my list for the day: dinner and bed. I timed this perfectly! 🙂
Headline story on Yahoo news, Archie is to be shot and killed this week? Next? Betty and Veronica are on cover with Archie. Could they have not wounded him and let him recover? Too much realism.
Lilyblack, glad you enjoyed Greece. Last year one of my boating friends had choice of Greek islands or coming to Oklahoma. Guess where he went?
Love, Jackie Monies
Debbe, you ask ‘what T-shirt?’ This after mentioning cleaning up lots of beer on the floor. Care to share more or are you Pleading A Mindy?
Jackie, Berkshire Hathaway owns Dairy Queen and Warren owns the lion’s share of BH. Probably took Sir Paul over to Borsheims at Regency Court to buy jewelry afterwards. He had the store opened special for Bill Gates and fiancee so they could buy an engagement ring. He joking told Bill that a man should spend twenty percent of his net worth on an engagement ring.
Lily: Young lady, don’t be going off like that without saying anything and making us worry about you!
But welcome back, and I hope you had as good a time as it sounds like you did. 🙂
And I’m sure I would have liked your “non-bikini bikini”. Or would that be a “faux bikini”? 😉
Wow, Lady Mindy. Sorry about that. That does however validate my Life Rule #57: “Always count on cardboard to let you down at the worst possible moment.”
My swimsuit but unfortunately not me!: http://s1306.photobucket.com/user/Lilyblack1/media/Swimsuit_zps459a6ae4.jpg.html
Had a great time. Came back with a great tan and six different kinds of grappa, which is Greek tequila.
Is it just me, or did a green, ferocious beast gobble up Lansing MI yesterday?

And the award goes to… you did it again Trucker.
That weather pattern does look ferocious. I did my doctoral fieldwork about a centimeter NW of the dot that obscures the ‘Arbor’ in Ann Arbor. Nice country, hot and muggy some summers.
TruckerRon, don’t know. Big G didn’t make it past San Francisco in the most recent movie. Maybe they were shooting the sequel?
Debbe, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c3d7QgZr7g&feature=kp
Debbe, one more good one because, Deep Purple!

Nobody seemed to notice that Arlo is NOT naked.
Dear Lilyblack, we have missed you an awful lot, and I worried, imagining goodness knows what. Very glad that you had such a fine reason for being away. You chose a beautiful area to vacation in; no wonder you had a good time; did you learn any Greek?
Yep. I’d have liked that suit just fine, Lily. 😉
Debbe 😉 I don’t think I’ve sent you this one before. But if so, enjoy it again.

Charlotte: Thanks bunches * hugs* I am informed by The Boss In My Life that tsipouro, not grappa, is Greek tequila, but what does she know, besides everything? Admittedly, I bought mine at the Athens airport. 😛
Beautiful swimsuit, Lily!!!!
Thanks, Ghost…found it!
Had one of those interesting days on the boat Saturday…beautiful (but too calm) day on Galveston Bay/Gulf, lots of dolphins, about 8 hours of engine time…got back to dock to find 5-10 gallons of diesel in the bilge pan under engine (consumption had shot up towards the end). Finally got the name of a good diesel mechanic down there, so hope to find out soon how bad the problem is. Heartened that it was still running basically fine, so guessing leak is in a fuel line or filter, but am reminded that “BOAT” means “Break Out Another Thousand”… 🙁
