There are no visual “trailers” this week, but I do warn you to be prepared for weirdness with next week’s new Arlo & Janis strips, available here and, of course, in newspapers everywhere. Well, not everywhere. If that were true, I’d be driving a much nicer vehicle.

Gosh! I’m 70 and I believe I’ve made it to the 7th lane on the highway of life!!
Can’t wait to make it all the way across!
I love this retro…..the Dog of Love, had never heard that expression.
geo……keep on trucking 🙂
Smigz….in answer to your question, Dad started with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad lines, which then ‘merged with the Chesapeake and Ohio, now it’s CXS….Dad calls it Chick$ hit Express 🙂
It’s all he’s ever known since 1952, he even had to know Morse Code back in the day.
Have you ever seen Chessie, the sleeping cat on railroad cars? That’s them….I’ll bring up some info for you. Dad has memorabilia with her sleeping….decks of cards, a framed pic, towels. Dad is definitely a cat lover.
Sorry to have read about you losing your father at an early age….I am treasuring the time I have right now. I try to stir up memories for him.
love ya
Smigz…the photo on the right is the one has framed.

I don’t think so, emb.
Debbe 😉 Yep, 2:16 on that video it was, hon. Thanks.

One of my all-time favorite strips. Thanks JJ!
Speaking of vehicles, Jimmy, please tell me you still have Super Truck.
OF due 1115-1135 CST. Peace,

I like Yellowstone after tourists leave the animals and geysers in peace. Have been there after and before “season” and with snowflakes falling in late fall months.
Have been on road to the sun so early before season that road erosion and avalanches had not been repaired. Of course that’s another national park.
If you have never visited our national parks start doing so while we still have them. If you are a senior there is a pass so valuable I doubt anything in my wallet equals it.
GR 😉 I am assuming you put her video on full screen because I felt the tremor when the shock and awe hit ya 🙂
Turned on Pandora for fist time, storms knocked out Internet server last night, just now and this came on.

Am as superstitious about music as I am fortune cookies.
Jackie…would love to see Yellowstone. Back when I worked at the Hampton, I had the privilege of working with a maintenance man who was in his late 70’s. He was a jewel.
He and his wife for a few years would travel to Yellowstone and take over the housekeeping and maintenance in the off season. He’d spend about 2 or 3 months each fall. Room and board and meals were on the house and they received minimum pay. But the perks were awesome. He told me he got to see some of the ‘off trail’ views that were off limits to the “touristoes”.
I have said something to my husband about that a few years back..that .I’d love to do that. Hey, I just may, one never knows.

Doubt the Yahwist [author of Gen. 2:4b ff., in contrast to the ‘Priestly writer’ of Gen.1:1-2:4a ] knew of snakes that size. Looks more like a big constrictor than a ‘serpent’. Besides, wasn’t it supposed to still have legs before ‘the fall’? Guess that’s Adam off in the L background. Don’t see any tree elegant enough or fruit-bearing to be the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Unusual depiction of the story.
Peace,
Here is my lifetime bucket list a light house keeper.

Debbe 😉 Only thing better would be to have been in the front row of her “performance”. See you in Yellowstone, hon. 🙂
From the FDA Recall List:
“A&H Focal Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots of the following products because many of these products have been historically tested by the FDA and found to contain PDE-5 Inhibitors (i.e. sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, etc.) which is the active ingredient in an FDA-approved drug for erectile dysfunction (ED) making these tainted dietary supplements unapproved drugs.”
Oops. That could prove embarrassing.
Debbe, I sure do remember Chessie! On a still summer night, I love to hear the sound of the train whistle and the wheels on the track. My Dad’s not gone; he’s right here in my heart. Please give your Dad a hug for me from a railroad man’s daughter.
Debbe, my Dad had this posted over his workbench at home:
“I am not allowed to run the train. The whistle I cannot blow.
I am not allowed to say how far the railroad cars can go.
I am not allowed to shoot off steam, nor ever clang the bell;
But let it jump the damn old track…then see who catches hell!”
Dog of love gave me a big laugh today. CSX is big in my area, I love driving next to the trains on the move next to the highway here. Something about that is just inspiring of how far we have come, yet in a way the old remains.
Had no idea I liked Meatloaf.

Now about the edible one.
Do you think Meat Loaf’s friends call him Meat or Mr. Loaf?
As much money as one of his concerts seems to cost they probably just call him Mister.
