We were discussing new calendars earlier this week. I think the above is one of my favorite in the genre. And speaking of wrapping the outdoor spigots, it’s hardly been necessary in my part of the world. The weather so far this year has been far more typical of spring than winter; lots of rain, warm temperatures, tornadoes, birds going nuts. It’s only a matter of time before the flies and mosquitoes return.

Same here in NH, but Winter’s about to return with a vengeance.
Weather is cyclical. Some winters are harsh, some are mild. What is consistent is that everyone’s memory is usually different. We had a big storm around Veterans Day and just a spit or two since. Come Saturday morning we will get 4-7″ and everyone will panic, forgetting how to drive.
I see my Doctor for a check up. I’m looking forward to it as I have lost 39+ lbs and looking for an attaboy. Walking is so much easier now.
Congratulations!! Attaboy coming to you!!
That is awesome!
Whoops, my fingers are still fat! I meant to type 20+. 🙂
Still awesome! LOL
Steve, Attaboy!
Trucker: Savor all of them you can. We made only 58 in 2010; way longer than some do, but still way too few.
Peace,
70 for the last couple of days , 19 predicted for monday
The Amish families ’round these parts do not hang pictures in their houses as they are an indication of vanity. They do, however, hang calendars as they are utilitarian. It’s not unusual to enter an Amish home and see dozens of calendars with attractive photographs at the top hanging form living room walls.
Found a loophole, did they? 🙂
Re 1-16-20 real-time cartoon: Yes, those low-frequency vibrations can have have an, ah, interesting effect on certain areas of the body.
One of the local movie theaters has something called a Dolby Cinema. I went to see the latest Star Wars movie there. Great picture, great sound, but I can pass on the seats that bump and thump along with the action on the screen. Not very comfortable and didn’t add anything to the experience. And to heck with the critics, I liked the movie.
I can see how not everyone would enjoy that. Seems strange they don’t offer an “opt-out” feature.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen a movie in a theater (“Aliens”, I believe*), the only seat bumps and thumps would be coming from some young git behind me kicking my seat back.
