Looking through more recent material, I found this short series. It is similar to the “ten-gallon hat” comic strip that appeared in newspapers recently. Frankly, I’d forgotten about the “lederhosen” series, although I drew it less than two years ago. I do like it, though, and I also liked the “ten-gallon hat” cartoon. I believe it was Charles Schulz who said, drawing a daily comic strip is doing the same thing over and over for years without repeating yourself.

Dang, just heard ad for Ram Month, it is a good deal. I lov r Ford but have owned a lot of Dodge cars, vans, Swore never again,
Jockeying big truck around parking lot of motel and looked up and that Duck Diner is in back of motel. I knew that I was in Duck territory but not that close.
Ghost, you know what is even better than Levi Jeans on a size 34 waist? White linen slacks. Was reminded of this while walking thru men’s dept. At Dillards.
Always wanted a white Panama hat, too. Not sure it wouldn’t make me look like a Havana pimp from the 60’s, though.
In a Dodge, for me, would have to be a Charger R/T Blacktop Edition with the Hemi on board. Next closest thing to a cop car available now. 🙂
Duck Diner, as in they serve ducks, or serve ducks to diners?
Pimp or player?

Leon is probably an acquired taste, but I acquired it at some point.

As in Duck Dynasty redneck TV show with long scaggley beards and hunt ducks own it. You have led a sheltered life from reality TV.
So, you agree on linen slacks?
Lawyer went well although I had left my brief case in office of my motel room. Need to drop stuff off in morning before I leave for yoga class.
Had a delicious veggie on WW sub and you were right Denise it actually tasted good but it was drowned in low fat ranch dressing, that didn’t taste good.
Ghost, when will you come out and say you were /are a cop?
Love Jackie
And who remembers seeing Pete on Johnny Carson’s show?

Tell me you don’t look like that Ghost. I already own the hat, along with some other impressive styles.
No, I don’t look like Leon. Or sound like him. He just came to mind when I thought “Panama hat”.
I miss jazz and especially piano Looking at the list I saw Woody Herman. Am I the only one here that danced live to his band more than once? I remember a lot of touring bands from prehistory but I will also admit to an early social life.
I once owned linen slacks I wore with with Hawaiian shirts.
Not/never was a cop, but have known a lot of them and have often been mistaken for one. Including Feebs.
Heavy armament may have led to confusion. Getting large bottle of water and going shopping hopefully.
“What we (Loon & I) pay the government each year in taxes is a bargain for the right to speak freely.” Agree, 100%, though I’d like the 1% to pay a more reasonable share of those taxes. After all, since they own the media, they have a greater right to “speak freely” than anyone here in the Village. I believe it was Warren Buffet who said his sec’y. pays more tax $$ than he does.
But I still think we will more likely lose that right internally, at the hands, primarily, of the extremely well-financed Far Right. I’m also aware of the danger to free expression from the PC crowd, which is mostly but not entirely leftish. Unfortunately, unless there is a major upset that I don’t foresee, we will continue to have a lopsided SCOTUS, where corporate personhood counts for more than individual rights.
Perspective: I am also an advocate of English as our official language [but would also like to have reading knowledge of a second “world language” as a national requirement of HS and college graduation].
Peace, emb
Just now reaching the end of these comments — nearly ten p.m. here in NH. Most interesting to read of your many trucks, and boats; I’m not well versed in them, but am entertained vastly by your stories.
Dearest Ghost, you were taking your mother to the doctor today, weren’t you? Did a good report follow?
Daughter Nancy drove me to the orthopedist’s office. The cast came off (cut off, and how it tickled!) and a new one put on; this will stay on for 3 weeks if all goes well. It’s a beautiful blue — many colors are available! It’s quite comfortable, but boy, am I awkward and slow. I know I’ve gotten weaker and my steps are unbalanced. I’m trying to exercise to keep the muscles in better shape.

Charlotte, we have seen the oncologist and gotten the CT results, which were basically good. She does have some fluid in the affected area of the lung, and we will be seeing her pulmonologist Wednesday to get her opinion as to the cause of that. Since the fluid is causing my Mom no problems at this time, I suspect we will just leave it alone unless the lung doc has a compelling reason to do otherwise.
Happy to hear your leg situation is progressing well. Just be careful and don’t trade the broken leg for a broken something else.
Naw, Jackie, first time I was mistaken for an SA was when I was having breakfast with two guys who actually were FBI Special Agents in the restaurant of the motel where I was summer-working as night deskman. The county sheriff stopped in for coffee, saw us, and later asked them who the new agent in town was.
I didn’t carry then, didn’t even own a gun. Well, a PI doing security clearance background checks in the area had loaned me his extra snub-nosed .357 to keep at the desk at night, but that’s a different story. Was only age 19. Also met lots of ATF moonshine-still busters (“revenooers”) that summer, but again, that’s another story.
Your choice of cars might also cause someone to think cop, Ghost not just the weapons.
The Dodge drives fine but some really strange stuff I probably would hate. One thing on the thing is that no steps leaves the floor boards several inches above my knee and the seats chest to shoulder height Of course I would not buy one without step. My friend in NZ said step ladders are not required to get into their trucks which can tow as much as ours.
Being British he may have missed the point of our big trucks and be more secure, stress utility of purpose.
I actually paid death benefits to a number of ATF agents back about then.
This darn truck has no nav features except a compass and I’d left mine in van along with phone charger, had to go retrieve them. Services guy tried again l have been lost day and night. This is terrible town to drive in. Bad roads, unmarked, unlit. The decay and decline of town is so obvious, poverty everywhere.
The Victoria Secret shop was closed when economy plunged I suppose. In fact, shopping is poor here but the largest supercenter I believe I have seen for WM is across street yet they have opened one of the new small WM here to compete with dollar stores.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Monroe. Sorry to hear of the deterioration. (What followed was six sentences related to deterioration of once-nice medium-sized cities, but it was too depressing for even me to read, so I 86’d it.) -30-
Good morning Villagers…
Sandcastler, those #1 seeds can fall just as hard as #3’s or #7’s…and make the same sound. And then there’s Duke, the team everyone loves to hate 🙂
Stopped in at #1 hen house to pick up Monday’s paperwork….saw the CO2 cylinders, the depopulating starts today. I had a moment of depression hit me.
One of the big boys from the Corp came by our house to take blood samples from the hens. They draw the blood directly from the heart. I told Ian, I sure do hope George doesn’t start crowing. The lady I speak to everyday at The Corp asked me what I was going to do with the two roosters when it comes time to depopulate our building. I told her I was going to take them home with me, and I will, she said “good for you”. Already told husband he is to build a small coop. Gene’s plans in today’s real time strip look good 🙂
GR 😉 you say Panama hat, and I think Panama red….dang those were the days. 🙂
Emb…I saw that cheezeburger pic too, I love it when the cats lay back. I once had a cat, who was so overweight,, he would lean against the wall and sit like a human. He lived a good, long life too. When he would sit there, I would think of Jaba from the Star Wars trilogy.
Miss Charlotte, it’s good that you are exercising, I’ve had three casts on my ankles and they can really get weak from non-movement. When Ian was 4, he fell at day care and did a spiral break in his thigh bone…was in traction for 19 days and a body cast for over a month. The child had to learn to walk all over again.
Ya’ll have a blessed day
