Summer continues, but here is an old A&J from 2009. At least the door is open, and the lights are on.
At Your Service

Folks in our neighborhood have grayed to the point that the local Cub Scout troop is down to just 2 boys, so our church has decided to make the Pinewood Derby an open event.
Do I want to relive my old memories of coming in last because I followed the rules and did it all myself 56 years ago? When no once else did?
Nah, I’ll just go, take some snacks to share, and cheer on those who can participate. 🙂
Hey! I’m number one here today!!!
And some of us are home. Thanks for keeping this house of refuge open, Jimmy.
Regarding the Close to Home strip: I contributed my favorite joke concerning the 10 Commandments:
Daddy, what does this mean, “Thou shalt not commit agriculture”?
Son, it means you should never plow another man’s field.
Good one, Debbe!! Today, 6:24 a.m. on earlier page, I mean.
Third panel: Janis has a sheepish expression. I can’t remember any other time she ever did!
Ghost is down 25 pounds since we finally met and has lost at least six inches in his waist. I wish I could say the same. We just began working out at gym after I got released to do so.
He works so hard at walking his treadmill.
Ghost is most definitely best shape senior citizen at the wellness center but I am not too shabby compared to the women over 20s I suspect. We are working on health and fitness.
Very punny: https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19990605_1489260301120545_7237816889463032517_n.jpg?oh=41580133cbfb6c4dab55afe0a11d3c98&oe=5A014627
Debbe, I loved the bell ringing cats. I wonder how long it took to get them to do that.
Today’s A&J about the garbage can was funny. I bet we all have some interesting stories about garbage trucks and the people who run then
Thanks Jimmy.
I was going to make a joke about Ghost, but I’ll let him be the one to tell it….

I have been running pinewood derbys for the church for almost 30 years. I stepped down as Cubmaster a log time ago, but they just can’t seem to find anyone who understands how a double elimination runs. I keep getting roped in every year. They have been putting 2 packs together to make it more competitive.
GOODNIGHT!

How can Arlo protect her through a closed door?
Talk about bells:

He did one so the cat could ask to go out but I can’t find it just now.
