And still at the beach! Obviously, these strips were drawn as Gene was about to leave the scene for college. That was nine years ago. Now, he has graduated, married and is struggling to establish himself and his young family. I’d say the strip is moving along in close to real time.
Not surprisingly, there are those among you who know much more about Kickstarter projects than I. I wish I could have sat down and talked to you beforehand! Pursuant to comments yesterday, I do want to say that I will be assisting a non-profit organization in the raising of funds. None of the money will darken my bank account. In fact, the last piece of the puzzle involves waiting for the non-profit’s new credit card to arrive. This being 2016, a Kickstarter account must be associated with a credit card, and this 169-year-old organization does not have one. It should arrive next week; as soon as it does, the project will go live.
I am using the extra time to tweak the rewards and the fun. Thanks for yesterday’s suggestions; I will consider them—except for the one about coming to your place to take you to dinner. No offense. Some of the rewards already in place won’t surprise you. Some of them might. I’m getting excited!

Dickens the Adventure Dog. For a chip and a doggie passport to go to Canada.
Jackie, for some reason when I read the last post, a Bloom County strip flashed into my mind. You recall the one where Binkley and Opus are riding in the cab of the semi with Binkley’s dad? Opus and Binkley are running through names for the adventure on the road. Dad looks at the two of them and says “Two dips and a dad.”
I’ll be going in October but the kitties don’t speak Canadian.
Re today’s strip, Elvis completely agrees. He took one step through the door, heard one bang and went right back in. Still lurking I see, JJ.

Good morning Villagers…
…and a GM back at you Old Bear
I am still in shock, yesterday evening we learned of the death of Jason, my husband’s nephew. He died on his 39th birthday. Jason is one of the NIL’s who has stayed with us off and on for the past couple of years. He’s the one who owned the Danger Ranger, pulled out the dent in my Izuzu. Jason swerved to avoid hitting a car that came around a corner only to have his car go off the road and roll three times, throwing him out of the car and rolling on him. He died of severe head trauma.
Life seems so unfair at times.
GR 😉 no tag today…sorry.
Oh, Debbe.. I am so sorry. My heart hurts for you.
Saw the funniest Facebook post. If a woman is upset with you take her in your arms and hold and hug her. If she growls step back ten feet and throw chocolate.
Debbe I am so sorry. Your life seems over loaded with sorrow, drama, tragedy and family problems. Wish it were easier for you, you are a hard working and loving person.
Debbe, you have my sympathies.
Two dings and a dog? Two dames and a dog? Dog and cat said it’s tpp early and are back asleep
Fireworks began here last week. Late last night I couldn’t tell if gun shots or fire works
Debbe 😉 From what you’ve said, Jason was a good man, and he was good to you. Prayers and hugs, hon.
Debbe:
I am so sorry. I have not words.
I heard this on my ipod that I did a couple years ago. I pray that Jason is adoring his Savior.

Debbe: I am sorry, and I believe Jason is in good hands. Peace, emb
Debbe, you and your family have my sympathies and prayers.
Very sorry, indeed, Debbe. Grace be unto you, and peace….
Chugging along to Ottawa, Canada on July 4. Our little town has exploded with tourists and it is only on weekends and holidays I remember I live in an Oklahoma tourist attraction. Rest of time it is cute old town where I know almost everyone and they know me.
Jackie, don’t worry if they won’t let you over the border on the way back. I have a huge driveway and I can feed power out to the boat. 🙂
And it sleeps four with a queen sized berth! I will pack the sailboat Nautica sheets.
I think my Mom thought that I had nautical sheets. She got tired of washing them every day.
Really windy at the Savannah GA former GH Owl, now Osprey nest. That tree is dead, or close to it. No birds right now, no eggs yet. I’m wondering if one of the pair is infertile.

Peace,
Debbe,
Prayers and sympathy for you and your family.
God bless us every one.
Dear Debbe, I am so sorry about your nephew in law Jason. Only 39 years old! An awful waste of a young life. Darned car wrecks, such tragedies.
