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.

This song sums up my love for music, both orchestral and choral… and it’s the one I’d want for my funeral:

There’s one thing I know that I want done at my funeral, and that’s the Mourner’s Kaddish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaddish#Mourner.27s_Kaddish, not just because I’m Jewish, but because it’s the only appropriate prayer I know of that never mentions death.
Sitting at MS visitors center listening to Elvis and I gained Ann hour, so I can drive a little further, Helen Wheels I guess. Fog was eerie tonight.
Good morning Villagers….
Jackie, keep us abreast (like that $50 word, GR 😉 ?) on your road tripping….I still say you need a co-pilot. I’d do it in a New York minute if I could.
Miss Charlotte, thanks…but I’m not always right; when I am wrong, do have the courage to admit it though….tough, but I do.
Jerry, I must have clicked on the wrong ‘copy this’ drop down….try this:

it will take you to the whole site. The cat’s name is Pompous Albert.
Old Bear, was wondering where you’ve been. I saw that clip on cheezeburger, watched it twice, but the cat was too fast…..Karma, indeed.
Today’s real time strip is cute.
Samdcastler….did you catch the Purdue and Cinn. game…..seems the one ballplayer has some anger management issues. Too bad the overtime did not come out in Purdue’s favor.
ya’ll have a blessed day

And, now, my annual posting of my bad (but original) joke:
Today belongs to Vern Al Eekwiknocks – the man who feels 50-50 about everything.
Debbe darling I’d take you in a New York minute. I actually stopped at 4 something but seemed to have gotten the last room in Hattiesburg, MS. I had not realized it was epicenter of state and conveniently forgotten my relatives here! The Rolling Stones and I gave up at same time. The fog turned to rain and rain and fog.
Plan to shower and sleep until Saturday checkout, see my lawyer and Cpa, etc on Monday. I am probably having a family member who is dying, not me. This has been an interesting day. Still coming to Indiana to see aunt and you.
Love Jackie
Rick 🙂
Happy First Day of Spring…..
Jackie….looking forward to it, you’ll love the rolling hills of Southern Indiana.
I know I do. Dogwood was blooming today. Have no idea about MS but luckily I have spent a lot of years on Hwy 49 and stayed here a lot so I was still on motel frequent guest list. Good thing.
TR, that is a lovely song, one I had never heard before. It would be beautiful at a funeral.
National Corn Dog Day tomorrow everybody !
Trucker, no offense, but I prefer this version of the song, sung by Enya Brennan.

Jackie, You were in the heart of redneckland last night and its Mariana, but who cares? I’m right behind you as I am going to Biloxi today. I don’t think that ^ I spelled it right either but again WC? I like “In the Garden” for the tune. Same thing for “How Great Thou Art”. I’m certainly not concerned about the theology.
Note: The way that you type it is not the way that it comes out.
Debbe, Pursue still holds claim to 23 NASA astronauta; including two moon walkers.
Jackie, Hattiesburg you say. Did Army time back in the 60’s with a guy from there.
TJ
I agree – though James Loynes words are more complete and clearer.
Enya preferred, whether the voice or rhythm ?? – the Mormons sing it too slow.
It should be uplifting.
Debbe – some days just don’t get near a computer. (2 miles near)
Pompous Albert – curly locks (which is a trait of his breed – the Selkirk Rex)
Okay, solar eclipse has impacted all human brains. Going into seclusion until the sun and moon seperate to a safe distance.
TJ, no offense taken. Anything sung by that lovely lady is going to sound better! But my widow won’t be able to afford her so…
side: Thanks for the insight into The Mourner’s Kadish. Wiki site enriched understanding and empathy. Wonder if my non-practicing Portuguese Jewish granddad knew of it.
De gustibus . . .. Also love How Great Thou Art, and happily sing In the Garden when it is programmed.
First heard How Great Thou Art from a solo bass in the Rush College [a UMC-related historically Black college in MS] choir who were visiting town on a money-raising tour back in the ’60s. Blew me away. We housed two of the women in the choir; they snuck cigarettes in our upstairs bathroom. Hope they later kicked the habit. No way they would venture out on the frozen lakes. Ice was easily 2′ thick, dozens of fish houses.
“Vern Al Eekwiknocks – the man who feels 50-50 about everything.” Must save that. Which reminds me: For 6 months starting tomorrow, I will get more potential hours / day of sunlight than most of you. We will also probably get snow next week.
Peace, emb
Dear emb, I knew that was you in spite of the Anon. Curious — why will you get more sunlight than the rest of us?
Today’s real time A&J, I don’t get why Meg wants to shade the baby chicks from the sun. (I firmly resisted any urge to read comments on The Dark Side.)
Jackie and Jerry, thought that town was Marianna, FL. And yes, Biloxi is right. Had a friend stationed at Keesler for a while and visited he and his family there.
Have also been to Hattiesburg, not a good memory due to circumstances involved in the visit. Car broke down on the interstate several miles out from Hattiesburg in the middle of the woods, just as it started to rain.
Charlotte, maybe Meg is protecting them from potential predators who might drop from the sky, like the proverbial chicken hawk.
Either Meg’s being comically overprotective of the chicks exposure to sunlight or she’s wisely shielding them from attack by birds of prey. Only JJ knows for sure.
