I realized this morning that I had inadvertently skipped one of the cartoons from the above sequence, the one about 10,000 comic-strip writers being out of work, which isn’t as funny as it once was. Anyway, here’s a bonus cartoon for today, two strips about Arlo up a tree.

Actually, sand, if I’d been a perfect gentleman, I would have stopped and spotted for her while she did her 3.5-degree-of-difficulty dismount from the pickup…while not looking at what she was displaying.
Oh, well, no one is perfect.
Jackie, I have truly tried to develop a taste for opera and the ballet, since I have friends that I attend the Dallas Symphony with. Some operatic songs, like “Habanera” from Carmen I find quite exciting, but I get bored between songs. I think it would have been better if they had not installed those electronic thingies that translate. I can’t keep my eyes off them. Even the words to “Habanera” are pretty dull in translation, but I think that is pretty much the problem of all poetry translations. Ballet is simply excruciating for me. Maybe Ghost would like it with all the pretty girls.
As for The Man In My Life, I have yet to see him in a group that he didn’t wind up being the center of attention. He loves to tell stories and he has a great laugh, not annoyingly loud but very amused, as he views most things, especially me. But he wouldn’t go anywhere without The Boss Of My Life and she dislikes travel. It’s as much as we can do to get her to take a vacation once or twice a year.
A lady at a car show demanded that I stop playing “Save a Horse,
Ride a Cowboy” because it was a dirty song. I didn’t stop and she came up again and she wasn’t happy. I stopped the song and instead played Little Richard singing “Sure Love to Ball”. Apparently that was ok as I didn’t see her again.
While in college I owned a “Save a Tree…Eat a Beaver” t-shirt. :O
Jackie, here is another one. Tried to post it earlier but it didn’t take:

OF is starting up: http://www.nps.gov/features/yell/webcam/oldFaithfulStreaming.html
Winding down now. Pretty substantial, relatively continuous eruption.
Jerry, I wouldn’t have told you to quit, but I would have moved to a place where I couldn’t hear you. Just sayin’
Darn it, I missed it again! I was over watching video’s on HMS Victory, USS Constitution, other historic boats.
Love, Jackie Monies
Next OF eruption is predicted for 8:16 pm CDT. A few of the faithful are sitting there in rainwear or with umbrellas. Peace, emb
I tried posting the OF website, maybe with too little text. Here it is:

Stay home. That works.
He/she’s late. I’m watching the stream now, at roughly 1930 MDT and there doesn’t seem to be much going on. Everyone is standing around, watching expectantly but the only action is poofs of steam. Looks like there has been a rain shower, so not a huge crowd.
I remember Yellowstone as amazingly striking. My best moment was not the geysers, mountains, bears, bison, or moose. The best moment was catching a cut-throat trout in Lake Yellowstone with my ultra-light rod and reel. It was a cloudy day, but just as I pulled the trout in close a sunbeam broke through and highlighted the fish’s glorious color.
Thar she blows! At 19:36 we are treated with huge clouds of steam. Can’t tell for sure what the water is doing. Lots of steam in the background, some of the other geysers may be doing more to show than Old Faithful. The viewing crowd seems to be bored and moving on to other sights.
I have no idea what y’all are talking about, but good night and I’ll talk to ya tomorrow
Good morning Villagers….
Loon 🙂 I once saw that sticker on the bumper of a car and have remembered it since.
Gremlins running amok at work along with testosterone……and it’s going to be 91 degrees here today.
Running late…
ya’ll have a blessed day.
GR 😉 you’re such a gentleman not to have ogled on…….but I have a theory about tall trucks and women in short skirts…..if you’ve got it, flaunt it 🙂
Gary, and you’re so right about the “hand on” mess….but the kitchen was clean when I got home. When I let her do the mixing and pouring the batter into the pan…I just let it go….there’s plenty of water and dish soap. She loves the electric mixer. May have to look for a mini version.
It’s a nice sunny day at Yellowstone. It must be a great view for the flying saucer hovering over the geyser.
Loon, I remember that shirt, but never owned it. My claim to fame was the “Conserve Water- Shower With A Friend” shirt…worn at a Baptist college. 😉
Lily, I can’t say I like all country music, but I do like a lot of it. Sometimes it just takes a while to find the perfect country song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAOVRkSCWmg
Debbe, as “they” say, sometimes it ain’t the heat, but the humidity. I went outside yesterday before 8am and the air felt like wet cotton so I stayed inside in the air conditioning for the rest of the day.
Ghost, 🙂
Lily, you might also want to try Confederate Railroad.

There’s also “Trashy Women”, which is one of my favorites.
