The short sequence from 1997 wherein Arlo gets his trade-mark longish hair trimmed continues. It isn’t exactly autobiographical, but the cartoonist did attempt to run away with a dental hygienist one time. I think I mentioned an art sale for a good cause a few weeks ago. We’ll talk more about that this week, but for now I must go.

For self protection, not a meal…
How about the frozen fish? Can you still whack them with a fish? Oars? Crocket mallet?
Back in my 20’s I had a, to borrow GR6’s term, a P&PHS. She, however, took full advantage of her assets and wore low cut, tight tops and Star Trek bras. She certainly earned good tips, and it didn’t hurt that she could cut hair well and was friendly as could be.
For the past 20 or so years the only one to cut my hair is my wife. She also cuts hair well and is friendly but rarely, anymore, will she wear the low cut top and Star Trek bra. And when she does I’d better plan on taking out for the evening!
She wears the low-cut top and Star Trek bra every time she cuts your hair, and you get to show off your fresh haircut when you take her for dinner. Win-win. 🙂
Defend yourself with a frozen fish? An oar? Nope, much too dangerous, sez the police.
From the British government’s Police National Legal Database website:
Question 589: Are there any legal self-defence products that I can buy?
Answer: The only fully legal self-defence product … is a rape alarm.
Good luck with that.
Oh! My mistake- thanks for letting me know 🙂
Anyone interested in a swan watch?

Will they be Ugly Ducklings when they hatch?
I’ll be thinking about Debbe. There used to be an Oar House Restaurant in Pensacola. A couple of medium quakes in the Philippines. The Pacific plate is pushing on a much smaller plate which is then pushing on a smaller plate. I think that the Philippines will have a major quake soon.
I have tried 3 times to post a link to this birdcam. I surrender. Search for bellahummingbird. There is a hatchling in the nest. Located in California so will be daylight for a while yet.
My backyard is full of dandelions…
In Chicken Soup for the Gardener’s Soul by David Matz, where a father, in his effort to create the perfect lawn, is on his hands and knees, screwdriver and garbage sack in hand, attacking the “little yellow devils.”
Trouble was, it was Saturday and he’d promised his 4-year-old daughter Kayla they’d go fishing. Here’s how the father-daughter conversation went:
“Pickin’ flowers, Daddy?” Kayla asked.
“Yes, dear,” he said, digging furiously at a tough root.
“I’ll help,” she offered. “I’ll give some to Mommy.”
“Go ahead, sweetie,” he answered. “There’s plenty.”
An hour passed, and yellow splotches still remained.
“You said we’s going fishin’ today,” Kayla complained.
“Yes, I know, dear,” he said. “Just a little more flower picking, okay?”
“I’ll get the fish poles,” Kayla announced.
He labored on, prying up one stubborn root after another.
“I found some worms under a rock, Daddy,” Kayla piped up. “I put them in a cup. Are you ready?”
“Almost, honey.”
More minutes dragged by.
“You picked ‘nough flowers, Daddy,” Kayla insisted impatiently.
“Okay, honey, just a few more,” he promised. But he couldn’t stop. The compulsion to finish the job was overwhelming.
A few minutes later, a tap came on his shoulder.
“Make a wish, Daddy!” Kayla chirped.
As he turned, Kayla took a big breath, puffed, and sent a thousand baby dandelion seeds into the air.
He picked her up and kissed her, and they headed for the fish pond.
Mark, I can’t post that one either. So, for those who want to see it, put these pieces together:

Mark: you must have been looking at the hummingbirds on Explore’s website.
My mom saw two hummingbirds on her feeder about three weeks ago. They must have been headed further north as they apparently didn’t come back. But she saw one yesterday, so perhaps the local area contingent has arrived.
I was at Wally World earlier, buying more ammo for the Zombie Apocalypse (just kidding), and checked out behind a very fit-looking young redheaded lady who appeared to have just come from a fitness class (she actually looked as though she might have been the instructor), wearing a white sports bra, a loose pink tank top with the words “Wonder Woman” on it; and black yoga pants. It occurred to me that the more I see of women wearing yoga pants, the more I see of them.
Heck, if I had as nice a tushie as she did, I’d probably wear yoga pants, too. 🙂
Great headline from the Times Picayune in New Orleans:
Catch crabs, earn cash
Story is about wildlife researchers tagging blue crabs before releasing them in Louisiana. Folks who catch these tagged ones and report the requested information will be paid.
Debbe 😉 Classic Clapton…

Miss you, hon.

Debbe, early Floyd video. I hadn’t seen this one till tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R8EpAv4miA

Debbe thanks the Village for all the prayers.
I didn’t think you could kill a Zombie by shooting it since they are the Living Dead? Of couse I have refused to watch the impending disaster, what with having turned off the television.. wait, that’s the upcoming presidential election isn’t it?
Think about it. The Living Dead.
Good morning Villagers….
Thanks Old Bear for conveying my thanks…and I do thank ALL of you for your well wishes and prayers and concern. Been reading, just not posting until now.
My Izuzu is dead, husband only had liability on it…Ian hit a tree not more than 300 yards from my driveway, lost control in the gravel and driving too fast. Husband called Sheriff, and Ian was arrested for DUI (his first one). The Boss posted bond the next afternoon. We talked a lot on our way there. Even The Boss didn’t understand why husband called sheriff since it was almost in my front yard. A lot of animosity between Ian and husband. The Boss told me I should have my own realty show. Andrew thinks he can get replacements and fix it…I hope, because we are driving a borrowed Ranger that is almost on its last ‘wheel’. So if anyone has a good deal on a used car….
Enough of that…..thanks for the music links Mark, and you too GR
On Tuesday the Corp came in to weigh eggs, had two augers out…one at our house (it looked like a ball of yarn it was so bad), and then another auger out at the other hen house. I jokingly told him I almost had a heart attack when I saw it….he said “I thought you had to have a heart to have one of those” 🙂 We like to tease each other……
Think the country side is coming to life…farmers spreading manure and planting…I love this time of year…..rebirth. I’ve joked with Ian that when I’m cremated to spread my ashes in the pit…that way I’ll be all over the country side 🙂
best go……later
oh…..I have a quote: ‘when in doubt, mumble’
GR 😉 two masters……
