I seem to have miscounted. There’s a little more “Harvey” left than I realized. Rather than dump it all on you today, I’ll finish this up with a Saturday post; then we can get on to something else Monday. Or Tuesday. Thanks for all the guidance on the tee-shirt project so far. Depending on costs, which I’ve yet to learn, there will be three designs: the car logo (yes!), a new piece depicting Arlo and Janis in repose, and a cat design. I know the cat people here, as everywhere, are a minority, but Scott the tee-shirt artist and I both think the “Ludwig” shirt might be a sleeper.
Hardly Harvey, cont.

I suspect today’s Harvey is the only comic ever where we get to see Janis’ bare bum.
And thank goodness for that
Ok so I am in for two of the shirts I am sure…but as for the “sleeper”…mmmmn not me, I am not a cat person. (I am certain that that will ire a few people)
Does your grocery store have the Brach pick a mix (the individually wrapped pieces, caramels, etc) where you can drop a quarter into the little box and take a few pieces? The Kroger near me is remodeling and removed the whole section !! Why Why ?? NO aargh ! … … I mean sure, admittedly I probably owed them a couple bucks… …. … … re: pet ownership stats above – come on people, let’s get those guinea pigs numbers up, remember when guinea pigs are born they’re just little adults already running around, not unformed Vienna sausages like rabbits and hamsters; much nicer that way
Not any more, John. They got rid of it when they expanded the produce section. It was a win-win for me. I hate sweets anyway, bar carrots, and that Pick a Mix thing looked tawdry and nasty to me. More veggies and less candy? Sign me up

Bryan & Lily:
Interesting what a simple curved line on white paper will signify. Or a dot on a distant tee. ’97, of course, is before the weekday colorists arrived. Now it would be pink, unless they didn’t pay attn. to what was going on. Colorists have been known to do that.
Peace, emb
I’m looking forward to seeing the two new designs! I, too, hope I can order a size that would be useful as a nightshirt, along with a regular size tee-shirt.
I used to use a Tweetie Bird nightshirt but now I wear regular Victoria’s Secret jammies in the summer and Lanz flannel nightgowns in the wintertime. I like the Lanz ones because everybody says how unsexy they look 😀

discrete, or discreet? Your comment has different interpretations, depending… 🙂
” Longenecker” would likely be a popular bottled beer in Texas.

I wouldn’t know. I drink like three beers a year. On hot days when I have been gardening, usually. This year, not even one
Okay, somebody solve a mystery. We were going through all our flashlights and lanterns tonight cause there may be storms in the area. I came to a Mag-Lite that I had from my Daddy long ago. It wouldn’t light, so I replaced the battery. Still wouldn’t light, so I changed the batteries for a fresh pack. No joy. I took the thing apart, bulb looked fine, no chemical corrosion. Put it back together, still wouldn’t light. So, in frustration I banged it on the counter. The Boy In My Life laughed, “Real mature!”. Lit right up. So what happened?
Something wasn’t making good contact and your rap on the counter shook things up.
Den: ‘discreet’, of course. Thanks for catching that.
Lily: I drink 3-4 beers a week, good beers, preferably < 5.5% abv. Or an occasional glass of dry wine [not champagne]. Avoid all hard liquor. De gustibus, and limited capacity. Capacity has lessened with age. OK with me.
It is pouring down rain and we have a full boat shop of sailors being spellbound by boat designer/builder/adventurer lecturers and slides of boating trips. We have a complex mix of every type of boat possible I think, canoes, kayaks, power boats, trimarans, catamarans, sail boats of all sizes and shapes. Several scaled down electric tug boats, as well as several micro cruisers, the most beautiful wooden shanty/river cruiser ever built, just on and on.
Amazingly, only a couple of people cancelled and two who did cancel emailed me just now they were coming anyway! Couldn’t stand it.
Tomorrow is supposed to stop raining about 10-11 so we can go on with sailing activities again and our concert. We may have a surprise add-on guest, as one of our bands invited one of the Scruggs and Flatt family members to come along. Kelly McGuire is our headliner but the other band does reggae-blue grass mix, which sounds weird but is great.
Love, Jackie
No rain yet, here, though we are all watching the radar. We are not so dry that we are panting, but I sure would love it to be cooler. I have a ten mile run for in the morning
Good luck, Jackie, it is nice and quiet here and the bar is wide open.
Clear as a bell here, 32F, probably froze last night. There’s been frost on the lawn last several mornings. High expected in the 50s, 20% rain this evening. Has been in the 40s last several days, often with a strong W wind.
Raining hard in the YNP geyser basin, Friday’s last prediction still posted.
EMB, nice eruption of Old Faithful in dawn light at 0700 MDT. No one in the park, but someone on duty to adjust the camera angle. Morning light makes a nice backdrop. It’s convenient that I have a two-screen setup– I’ve had the webcam up all morning on the second screen, watching the geyser in the dawn.
@Lilyblack. After all that, make sure you don’t throw out batteries that were good after all
Mary Lou and Gene are getting their beach money. 🙂
Good morning, Villagers. We had a great rainstorm last night and I had a great ten mile run this morning. I am feeling really good about this marathon coming up. I really hope that woman in the blonde braid shows up that beat me out of my medal last year shows up.
John, when that happens, we throw the batteries into the junk drawer so that in a pinch we can try them. Maybe they’ll work.
OF due 1105-1125 CDT [= anytime, now]. Peace, emb.

Had the Tshirt discussion with my Lady. I started off slow and built up so she has ok’d three, just let’s leave enough in the account for doing the drive way. My part which I did not tell her is to eat out much less this month. For 3 Arlo and Janis shirts I would fast for a month, diabetic and all.
