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.

Say what, Loon?
Loon: looks like. Not being much of a feminist myself (seeing as how I earn more than men with my qualifications, being witty and charming) 😀
emb, flame-broiled squib? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/squib
None of those sound very appetizing cooked. Did you mean squab, perhaps?
Or squid. Fresh squid sashimi requires no cooking at all.
Never have eaten squab, flame broiled or otherwise, but I have eaten charcoal-grilled dove, every late summer since I was a kid. White-winged and mourning dove season is a big deal in Texas.
Mark, that squib was Sand, not me.
Lily, recital was tops, and so was the lunch. Audience was ecumenical; the series goes from church to church. Often, but not always, the recitalist[s] is/are members of the host church, less likely when it’s a group, such as the local h.s. brass quintet a few weeks back.
Peace, emb
Loon…that’s what it looks like at TDS…sheesh…what do they think that Mary Lou is not insightful enough to know that the only thing constant in life is change: I ref: a link a poster posted:

Besides….49 percent of prime, ocean view property with a restaurant that has already established a reputation. Sometimes, it takes a new proprietor to energize what is fledgling…I know from past experience in my mom’s bridal shop…..
I lay odds that Mary Lou already knows that the summer season is the end.
GR 😉 I got your pier queen and raise it….

Debbe 😉 I once spent a few days working in a large hen house. (Don’t ask.) I think the worst part was the dust.

GR 😉 unplugged….ante’s up 🙂
emb, I wish I had been there with you. But my lunch had Margaritas and I barely remember the funeral 😀
Lily…now that’s a wake……………..
Rats…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQem15Ow6hw
…because, violins
Well, Debbe, it might have been if there had been anybody there that had been at the funeral besides me and The Boss Of My Life, but there wasn’t. Just a nice long lunch where I was a little too hilarious and giggly. The Boss Of My Life quoted Dorothy Sayers about the unreliable mood that is apt to follow funerals.
I am not certain why Mr. Johnson thinks “10,000 comic-strip writers out of work” is not as funny as it once was. Because of simply what it seems to be, that the problem is more acute and more serious now?
Debbe 😉 Fold. 🙂
New hand. Because, just because…

DJJG: From my travels about the Net, it seems like there are a heck of a lot of them now, much more than when I was a kid.
Ghost: I pass and fold 😛
Thanks to Ghost and Debbe for the beautiful sailing music. I had never heard either one but I am putting together some songs and video for my October boat group and I am making my own DVD’s to play when we don’t have live music or speakers. So, thanks for the links. Also it got me listening to some other beautiful music, as always.
We went and had Vietnamese spring rolls, dumplings, wild mushroom bisque (well I did) and finished off with key lime cheesecake and dark chocolate layered cheesecake. We are celebrating in advance (maybe bad luck) that Mike won’t have to have more chemo. Today was scan for more cancer and we (me) positively believes it will be cancer free.
Got my confirmation from Kelly McGuire and Redfish Records that he will play our Saturday night concert. “Blame It On Buffett”.
Love you guys,

Well what do you know – even Angus couldn’t cause the damage I walked into this morning. Yesterday I left two third-party vendors on my roof working on the air conditioning unit. (Killed the compressor beyond all hope.) My clerk and I wondered if they, who had had never been on our questionably sound roof, would end up going through said roof. As I had to be back in at 3am, I was going to be rather annoyed if I had to go back and fill out paperwork. (I am only halfway kidding after today.)
So, I walk in at 3am … to a 85 degree store. It would seem, while unsuccessfully attempting to repair the a/c unit, the electricians started poking around in the fuse box. (Cue horror movie mood music of your choice.) The *official* story is the box was mislabeled (which it kind of was, and WE employees knew that, but THEY failed to consult anyone first.) and 220 through a non-220 fuse caused a *bit* of chaos.
No a/c, no soda, no cappuccino, no phone, no printer, one register, two freezers, a cooler, no door buzzer, lots of scorched wiring, outlets nowhere close to running at the standard 120v, and blown bulbs everywhere. The joy.
By the time I left today, we had recovered the register, a couple bulbs, the soda machine, and FINALLY the A/C!! Half the fuse box is still missing, but they swear everything is going to work again. However, I am NOT plugging in the new printer, when it shows up, until ALL electricians vacate the area. For some reason, I don’t trust their handiwork.
Jackie: My prayers stay with you and Mike, but if I was in your sailing group, I would disgrace myself with an iPod. Not to speak of falling in the water a lot.
Mindy: Sounds awful. I have no idea how electricity works (despite two “B’s” in Physics), and have to rely on our neighboring firemen for help when problems happen. Last time it was a smoking ballast in the fluorescent lighting in the hall. The Boss Of My Life was absent in a meeting, so I was temporarily in charge, always an invitation to disaster
Dang Mindy…I thought I had grimlins…
But, GR 😉 ya got to know when TO FOLD THEM
