I told you a few days ago: near the end of this series there’d be a little pay-off for regular visitors to arloandjanis.com. As I remember, this is the first appearance of the Cobra-like sports car that prominently and incongruously appears at the top of this blog. In the strip above and every day on the Web, we are left to wonder, “What is Arlo really like?”

Good morning Villagers…
I would have been here sooner Jackie, but I’ve been trying to log into my email account.
In their infinite wisdom, my ISP (which is also my landline service, it’s a co-op, and we get a royalty check every year π ) …anyhoo, they decided to switch email service. They now have ‘Pronto’, which I have a devil of a time logging in….getting communication errors….then there are times I have no problem.
We survived the swatch of the storms, got a little scary since I was “all by myself” in the hen house. I plugged the windows (that no longer work automatically shutting and opening on one side), with the plastic egg trays to cut down the wind coming in….finally got the inside temp up to 75 degrees when I left yesterday.
Jackie, who in the world would put rugs and pajamas in the washer….together? Believe it or not, I like doing laundry, and I am very picky about it, nothing sits in the dryer, it gets hung up (all T shirts are hung) and folded immediately.
gotta go…….
ya’ll have a blessed day….and I hope to read ya’ll tomorrow with a new retro.
Old Bear……I got it, and the Boss came by and fortunately I happened to be in the packing room when he came by. I smiled and told him to wait, he said he was in a hurry. I told him. “In a hurry, in a hurry in a hurry…well then you won’t get what’s in this box.” The look on his face, priceless. Thanks
He also gave me a nice ringed, hardback journal book and some gloves that came with it, said he thought I could use it. I keep a work journal.
And I will persevere in getting my email account up….oh, I love the mail label. π
thanks………………

This stinking computer. I didn’t even hit submit, wanted to change something I posted to Old Bear and the next thing I knew I was back on the Arlo and Janis strip…..I know, get a new one….get a lap top…..
Morning Debbe, a woman that knows how to do laundry! What a rarity. You should have something better too keep the wind out. Tell your boss that a tarp is very cheap,lasts a long time and would do a much better job.
GR π I remember reading your and Debbie’s posts from long ago. Then she just stopped posting, that’s about the time I entered the Village.
This is a favorite of my husband and me, from Robin Mark…..enjoy

Steve, has it come down to where you have to draw directions for the surgeons….but, it is a good idea. I’d hate to wake up and find I had a shoulder cup replaced when it was a hip replacement!

Debbe, you don’t know the half of it. I wear good clothes, a clothes horse fanatic actually. I pulled a beaded jacket from Talbot with the tag still on it for $238 crammed in a garbage bag thrown in pile of dirt on floor which she took out of a closet to do. Glen my deputy worked all day and got the chaos under control, I washed all night and I will let you know, not only piles but plastic bins, over ten of them full of dirty clothes, laundry hampers full of “clean stuff” dumped so I will wash it all. I am excellent laundress.
And why do they start like Martha Stewart and end up like Roseanne Barr? Or Honey Boo Boos mother, whatever she was?
I deeply resent paying for work not done. And people with five children on welfare before she is 22. I am liberal combined with Old Testament leanings toward pillows of salt, death penalty and staking out miscreants on ant beds,
Conductor, will you let me know when we get to Willoughby please?
I was very disappointed to see that the list of funniest words in the English language did not include autodefenestration.
About Arlo’s sports car in the logo and wayback strip:
Some of you might recall that I was considering purchasing a Mustang a few years ago. I decided against it.
Instead, this past April, I bought a new 2015 Camaro RS, a car that I have wanted since I was 14 in 1967.
I know exactly how Arlo feels as he speeds down the mountain road.
Sheer bliss.
Jerry in FL, we all need to stop at Willoughby.
Run, orphans, run!
