This classic A&J is from five years ago, 2012. I’d like to take credit for pioneering bathroom humor in the newspaper comics—I should stress bathtub humor—but I can’t. No feature has explored the disrupted bathing experience longer or more often than that storied and staid grand dame of the funnies, Blondie.

DJJG, I like that website because it not only talks about the Disney parks, but covers all the talent connected with Disney in one way or another. I haven’t had time to read it yet because I’m working, but I will get to it later today.
Fire of some sort along the Mississippi nr La Crescent, MN, SE of the Twin Cities. Taken from a movable webcam that monitors a peregrine nestbox [now in dictionary], now done for the season. Often watches adults perched in the area. Bluff is on the MN side, flatlands across river in WI. Dam and locks just upstream. Peace,

Llee, one of my all-time favorite books is Moon of Three Rings! I can’t remember how long ago I first read it, but I do re-read it every now and then.
I saw another version of “chainsaw” that was “…and then the murders began”.
Good morning. Ghost looks especially good today. I am still in bed, he is dressed.
Sharp dressed man!
Forgot the music!

I got bit by a bee of some kind during my lunchtime walk. I felt it about halfway through and it stung. No swelling, but I did walk faster for the laps around the building after I got bit.
Motivation!
Just had another biopsy of several lymph nodes under arm. It turns out I have two masse in breast, plus four lymph nodes. Sitting in lab waiting to do DNA cancer testing.
Seems if you have three or more immediate family with breast cancer you are very high risk for genetically linked cancer. I do or I wouldn’t be sitting here.
Am not a candidate for surgery.
May be candidate for a new oral treatment or chemo or other form of treatment. I am going to an oncologist next to come up with a treatment plan.
Thoughts and prayers. emb
Jackie, sorry that surgery isn’t option. Thinking good thoughts and offering prayers, too. Seems like sometimes we start having a few moments of happiness and something jumps up to slap us. Keep going. There’s happiness beyond trouble, too.

We both love Heinlein. Not only do we own and have read everything he wrote, we moved them all with us!!
Ghost and I are going to local dinner theater to an Elvis concert. Think tribute? We are getting into This!
I am wearing a totally glitzy sequin and beaded jacket with black leather jeans or gold leggings or something equally fun. Can’t wait to see Ghost!
They are not serving fried bacon banana and peanut butter sandwiches.
Our educational system continues to fail us, or something…(Part 5)

Jackie:
I have been deliberately quiet about your situation because it hits very hard and very deep.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Nancy:
I finally ran out of room to store books, and I donated many of them to the local library.
It felt as if I were giving away parts of my body.
We are donating Mike’s boating books to the small boat museum and boat building school and nonprofit. Ghost, Glenn and I boxed them up but we have not gotten them to south Texas yet. We are talking about driving them down as far as Dallas to a friend who will carry them on to Port Aransas for us.
Depending on what happens tomorrow or Friday we might go down Sunday? This is what Mike wanted them to go to, somewhere that would use them. I just wish he’d said whom. But yes, it feels like giving away a family member.
Jackie, whatever form of treatment they give you, I will be praying for total success.
On the bright side, if you aren’t having surgery, perhaps you and Ghost will get to Port Townsend yet. I sure hope so.
More prayers and kind thoughts for you, Jackie.
Yes, we will get to Port Townsend one day. Just probably not quite as soon as we planned.
Elephants. Peace,

‘Original model’ would have been better. These are vervets. Peace,

Heh! Learned in ’87 that the plants are introduced prickly pear cacti, from here. ‘They’ [not the vervets] bred a spineless variety to use as succulent forage overseas. But a spiny back mutation occurred, was less palatable than the cultivar, and of course out-reproduced it, so the cultivar is now rare.
Natural selection is an inevitable and sometimes dramatic process, constantly occurring in all spp. in all environments, no matter how ‘artificial’ those environments or those breeds are as a result of our meddling. Neither hospitals nor Holsteins are immune. There will be a quiz.
Peace,
