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.

It’s fiction, but based on Portuguese colonial fact. I figured she was in for disappointment. The ‘nightingale sang.’ Another painting, same subject, months later. Peace,

Honey lips, now there’s an interesting nickname for a wife or girlfriend.
So is “Sugar Britches”. And very Southern.
And also at least as naughty.
Debbe, no offense to the Hollies, but if you’re going to listen to *He Ain’t Heavy* it has to be the Neil Diamond version.

Doing leg lifts. Preparing to get out of bed and I do those to stop knee pain or at least hit the floor.
Debbe use this email, my very public one for boating that has been overtaken by ads but I will watch for you. Jackie Monies m_monies@yahoo.com
The address starts at m_monies not at Jackie.
Need to get dressed to go to gym and work on this sore body. Maybe I will start dancing here again for myself.
Wish this last unsolicited friend was real. That was one fantastic looking armored vehicle operator. Hated pushing Reject button.
Ghost. Use that email above and I will watch for the Chicken Queen and the Ghost. Won’t hit Reject.
Lordy, I love the early Neil. And that voice.
My granddaddy called me Sugarfoot. It was also a running gag on King of the Hill.
Looking for a different song I stumbled over this and it seemed so appropriate in thus election year. Charles Dunning Dance A Little Sidestep from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

This is for Debbe and Ghost. What I was looking for, The Chicken Ranch

I can’t stop watching Shawn Klush videos. I watch Elvis and he comes off second best. By the way, if you didn’t know, it’s possible to listen to a video while doing this. I’m listening to Elvis right now.
Sweet Charlotte, I thought of you this morning while seeing a video clip of enough small hail falling to cover the ground at a location in NH. Did you see any hail or severe weather where you are yesterday?
Debbe, on mine Epix is channels 380-382. I have the $10 movie package they used to call Blockbuster. I find much more to watch on this than on any of the HBO, Showtime, etc. It even has network series shows, such as entire run of the original CSI series.
I went back to bed right after Mark’s post above. Apparently so did entire Village. We are turning into Brigadoon.
Off to nails, hair, grocery and gym. Not in that order.
Dearest Ghost, no, the weather was okay in my corner of NH yesterday. It was windy and cool. Storms were forecast in the region and I believe there were some in the Boston area. Since I don’t watch TV, even the weather, I just read about it on newspaper Web pages. Our statewide paper is awful and I don’t look at it too often; I will look now and see about hail falling. I haven’t looked at the Boston Globe yet either. Thanks for thinking of me!
Since nothing else seems to be going on, I’ll let y’all know that I had my last (I truly hope) visit to my dental surgeon this afternoon. It was to open the gums above the titanium posts and attach the little doohickeys for my regular dentist to use in attaching some new teeth. It wasn’t planned to be a long procedure, but ended up as a full 90 minutes in the chair. Apparently, my jaw is exceptionally good at producing bone, and grew right over 3 of the 4 posts. Apparently also, it took a lot of time and effort [everything from picks & drills to electrical cautery] to remove the excess bone – and a boatload of anesthetic. I lost count after 7 full shots – clearly a new personal record for me – but there were more later.
Something I did not know was that the anesthetic comes with some adrenaline mixed in to help keep the deadening agent in place. From all the shots’ adrenaline, my body was actually trembling. I noted that with some apprehension, but the doc explained what was occurring and said that he also had that kind of reaction when he underwent dental anesthesia.
Blood sugar felt too low, too, which can also give one the shakes, but they supplied me with a few small portions of some sugared cola and those drinks helped a lot.
I was directed to wait 2 weeks before seeing the regular dentist [instead of 1 week] so that my 3 stitches would heal more. Yeah, stitches, too. It was quite a visit, to say the least.
You like me plan to die with a full set of teeth? My dentist didn’t recommend that for me. So glad! You were brave.
I recently ran across an old text-adventure game, strictly text with no graphics. It’s based on the old Paranoia role-playing game (Look it up in Wikipedia if you’ve never encountered it because you really need a bit of background to play this.) and for those of us who remember the original, it really has the right feel, including the fact that you often have to guess when to be cautious and when to lie through your teeth and sometimes you’re going to be hosed no matter what you do simply because the random numbers came up that way. If you want to try it, you can get it from https://github.com/spkane/paranoia (which is why I didn’t link to the article above) and run it in from a command line. You will need to have Python installed, but most computers come with it now so that shouldn’t be any problem. And remember: trust the computer; the computer is your friend.
c ex-p: As I’ve said before, I don’t know if I will die with all my teeth (even if I am holding my own for now), but I’m pretty sure I’ll die still owing for some of them. And yes, I once had an injection of Novocaine or Lidocaine or whatever and felt my heart start racing. My dentist explained it contained a vasodilator to, as I recall, speed the numbing effect to the gum. Harmless but a bit startling when not expected.
Nothing to compare with your story, except perhaps the time an Air Force dentist decided there might just possibly maybe perhaps be something hinkey about one of my wisdom teeth, so what the heck, I’ll just extract all four of them…at once. Military dentistry at its finest.
Yes, but you got fixed, righthe?
Into gym in a minute. Listening to Bb King on radio.
In 1953 BB King recorded his first successful blues song which we never heard on the radio. This is typical of what we heard https://youtu.be/2AkLE4X-bbU along with Perry Como, Percy Faith, Eddie Fisher, Theresa Brewer and Patti Page who all had number one selling records. I remember them all, all bland and packaged like gooey white bread.
To hear the blues we had to sneak off to bars, sit in cars trying to pick up bootleg stations, listen to scratchy and contraband records. I did not reach this stage until 1958 when I started driving and dating.
And here is the great BB King and where it all began, what we were denied by our times and stupidity.

While I had to listen to Papa Loves Mambo on the politically correct radio stations.
“Fixed” in the sense that I didn’t have to have anything done to those four teeth later in life on my own dime, I suppose. Of course, I believe that an extraction is about the least expensive procedure a dentist performs.
Well, why not?

sideburns, I played the West End Games Civil War boardgames myself. But I do remember some of my friends liked this one. And Greg Costikyan, one of the codesigners, wrote some very funny fantasy novels.

What is relevance of Monkeys? I am bemoaning I got gapped by not being allowed to listen to or buy music or attend a non-white performance in South by great musicians. Had to listen to someone like Pat Boone cover their betters.
Did no one else here notice or care or am I just so old that no one else experienced this? Or gasp, you were loving what you heard?
An hour on machines in front of tvs tuned to Fox does that to me. I wore my trucker cap and tried not to look up.
