A pithy comic strip about life, love, lust and puthy cats.

Escort Service

By Jimmy Johnson

From 10 years ago this month, today’s classic Arlo & Janis. How do you like the new “header,” all that stuff above the cartoon? It’s part of the revitalized Web site project that began earlier this year. I’m going to do it bit by bit this time around, instead of struggling to squeeze thousands of moving parts into place for a grand unveiling. So, over the next few weeks you’ll be privileged to witness the sausage being made. You’re welcome, if you wish, to comment on any and every little change from day to day, but you might want to wait and see. Small change will be constant, but not necessarily permanent.

    I really like the link to go comics at the top of the page! Sometimes scrolling through comments takes a while.

    [In a side note… the old “6” in your handle– was that for six as in 6 for commander (Alpha6 for example), or was that six as in behind (watch your 6)? Inquiring
    minds want to know. 🙂 ]

      Could be either…depending on circumstances. 🙂

      That depends on where in the time zone you live. Here in my mountain valley, the earliest sunset is at 5 p.m. during the first week of December. We’re about 110 miles east of the NV border and the PST time zone.

    A friend of mine was drinking at a bar, so he took a bus home. That may not seem like a big deal to you, but he had never driven a bus before.

    My kids think I’m insane. I’ll be getting up at 5 a.m. MST to watch the Mercury traverse the sun. I’ll be getting to work and setting up my telescope for interested faculty and students to look through it after the sun clears the mountains. This is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me since I wasn’t into hands-on astronomy 3 years ago during the last transit of Mercury… and while it’ll happen again in 2032 and 2039, those won’t be visible from North America. For that I’ll have to make it to May 7, 2049.

    BTW, I’ve blown it with Venus as well. Its last transit was in 2012. It’s next ones will come in 2117 and 2125.
