Is Arlo a pedantic smartass or a smartass pedantic? There’s a current cartoon coming up later this week in newspapers that is very much in this vein. This cartoon from 2003 ran online not very long ago, but I’m away from my desk this morning and suffering connectivity issues on top of all, so I just grabbed something off the shelf. I do like this one. It’s very Arlo & Janis.

They want that alphabet behind their names. I had a cousin, PhD who put Dr. John Smith, PhD on his cards, letters, checks, etc. I thought it gauche.
I didn’t know the Lord was a backslid Anglican, but I agree that he wouldn’t care about clothes. ‘Consider the lilies of the field, . . ..’ Peace,
If I am meeting someone socially or informally and they introduce themselves as Dr. so and so I reply that I’m Mr. so and so.
OF is about to erupt. And the sun is setting!
As I am a rather backslid Anglican, not the Lord. We have no idea what he or she was, certainly not a Christian as he long preceeded both Judaism and Christian theology.
I keep blaming the phone Hal for getting me in trouble. As Jimmy Buffet said, some people say there’s a woman to blame.
Biting my tongue and foremost finger to not tell Ghost about the beautiful garment that came out of box yesterday. I must buy this stuff under hypnosis. It is straight out of Toulouse Lautrec.
I will layer it if course.
“It is impossible for anyone to be responsible for another person’s behavior. The most you or any leader can do is to encourage each one to be responsible for himself.”

“Our behavior is different. How often have you seen a headline like this?–TWO DIE ATTEMPTING RESCUE OF DROWNING CHILD. If a man gets lost in the mountains, hundreds will search and often two or three searchers are killed. But the next time somebody gets lost just as many volunteers turn out.
Poor arithmetic, but very human. It runs through all our folklore, all human religions, all our literature–a racial conviction that when one human needs rescue, others should not count the price.”

Fore finger.
Jackie, don’t forget the rest of that line. “But I know, it’s my own damn fault.”
True that.
Come on, Jackie, describe it. I can take it.
But layers? Damn.
By the way, I have hypnotized women. Literally. In Psychology class, not as one of those creepy dudes on the InterWebNet.
Before that I have to post this video for Debbe and for you too Ghost. Everytime you mention hippy chick I think of this song. And of course the bartender scene. Did I mention I have a thing, love watching good bartenders.

Debbe 😉 Hope you had an enjoyable weekend, hon. I know you’ve heard this, but…

Here’s the hippy shake I think of, naturally. I have one of those loves of this movie that is immoral or just not good taste.

Did I mention that I enjoy watching anyone who is good at their job, be it bartender, surgeon, go-go dancer, trash collector, or musician?
Open long cardigan or kimono, black sheer see through with a velvet black heavy lace pattern like New Orleans iron work. Four large antique velvet art Deco rose carton chest two shoulder area, two hips, long sleeves and almost to my ankles, delicate long fringe on sleeves and hem.
While it does look right out of New Orleans Storyville, I bought it from a western upscale catalog and model had on skinny jeans and boots as I recall. I may have to wear a beige body stocking and get a photo of this one. With a good accessorized mask. Wait, I have one!
Cartouche or emblem. Hal got me again.
Why would you watch surgeons? I did long ago when I worked in Louisiana Charity Hospital but I worked there.
Sounds lovely.
I sat with my mom, who by the way is better but not entirely well, from 0630 to 1900 today. This afternoon, the TV in her living room somehow got tuned to a cable channel that was showing women’s beach volleyball, specifically a match between a team from the USA and one from Brazil. (I noticed that the Brazilian lady players’ sports bras are labeled BRA over the left breast, which was sort of amusing.) I left it on that channel for awhile, not thinking my mom was paying any attention to it.
Suddenly, she asked, “Those young ladies are just about naked, aren’t they, Ghost?”
I had already done the math, so I said, “Yes, ma’am, between ninety and ninety-two percent.” I’m not quite sure that she got it, but she nodded.
Your mama calls you Ghost? Mine called me Jackquline Ann, never Jackie. You know how Southern names get appended.
Jackie – Ghost has never told us his given name. I’m sure his mother called him by his given name, but he changed it when he recounted it here for privacy.
Today’s [13 June ’16] comic is probably no funnier than most, but I find it hilarious, or maybe just most insightful. It is so true: women are expected to be at their best under all public circumstances. If society doesn’t expect it, many impose it on themselves. I know some men tint their hair, get perms, and such, and that it’s not restricted to those of same-sex orientation. But men getting bald, grey, wrinkled, etc. are perfectly ok, even look more ‘distinguished.’
It sometimes even gets us the senior discount before we’ve earned it. I have a beard and inherited baldness [courtesy of Mom’s side of the family], and have mentioned here before that cashiers and such often asked, in my 50s, if I qualified for the discount. Usual killer response: ‘No, I just look old.’ Now, people tell me I don’t look my age. I credit thrice weekly workouts, a lifelong addiction to a qt. of milk a day, watching my food indulgences, and good luck [and, of course, I love it.]
Peace,

2 cams: She [I think] is on the nest, calling. He is on a limb, R distance, 2nd cam. Come hither? emb
Both gone. They, BTW, are ospreys who have taken over the abandoned g.h. owl nest. I expect some neighbors [it’s in a suburb] are unhappy / the birds’ raucous calls. They should move to downtown Savannah. There may be peregrines there, but they’re less vocal. Peace,
emb: Anyone living in coastal Georgia should be used to hearing ospreys. We hear them regularly in central Florida thanks to all of our lakes.
