It’s three-fer Thursday! Here is part of a little series that ran 10 years ago this month. I recall it was easy to produce; the jokes about meditation wrote themselves. I do not recall exactly what was going on around me at the time, but I can tell by looking at this old artwork that I was drawing very fast. My favorite gag is the first one. It is this type of strip that earns my humor descriptions such as “subtle,” and “intelligent” and “not very funny.”

And folks, if you haven’t heard, The Blue Angels lost a pilot yesterday. Practicing for an airshow in Smyrna, TN. Crashed on takeoff. The airport is behind where I once had a house and we had watched previous airshows there from our back deck.
Then, the same day the Thunderbirds lost a plane in Colorado after doing a flyover of the AF Academy. Thankfully, that pilot was able to eject and survive.
Mark:
From the reports that I heard, the pilot stayed with the plane to make sure that it did not crash into an apartment building. If true, a true definition of a hero. Prayers for all.
Rick: the OF cam has been on my list for a long time, but then I’m a sucker for nature webcams. Explore dot org is an easy link to lots of them but for some reason this blog refuses to accept a link.
There is a reason air shows are not thrilling to me. I know they are beautifully executed and I have seen them but this saddens me.
Off to exercise with purpose. I am making sure I get my minimums of nutrition too, which is important in my case. I have tenencies to cut food intake if I see weight coming off. The mistaken, less is good concept.
Ruth Ann, the wellness centers have padded tracks and a.c. and heavy discounts to seniors. Mine is throwing big hospital who built and own it. Civil servants get even lower rates. You are in an urban area and should have one.
All else failing there is Walmart Walkers, so many loops around inside of a Supercenter.

I am really behind
Prank call: To a shop. “Do you have Prince Albert in a can? Well let him out.”
Prince Albert for the younger crowd is pipe tobacco.

3 more days to catch up upon.

Who here besides me has Southern Redneck genes and jeans? This is what I am listening to right now.

Brooks and Dunn, I still love them.
NK/AZ: Tell me if my deductive logic worked, without giving away any critical information. In HS, were you in a large language club headed by a teacher whose first two initials were “N. T.”? Perchance did you play a stringed instrument as shown in the 4th row of a group picture?
Fear not; this was just a research game for me. If you wish to exchange direct messages, my email address is known to Mindy/Indy, Symply Fargone, eMb, and Charlotte/NH. I hope you have a way to contact at least one of them. I am not on VisageVolume….

No ospreys at the former g. h. owl nest at the moment. Cicadas in the background? Peace,

By the way, my beard-mustache combo is like Montgomery’s, with much more gray; and my hair is like Gentry’s, except salt-and-pepper and without the spikes.
ce-p: VisageVolume – I like it 🙂
What do you do with Southerners like us? Learned to talk like the man on TV?

Talk Southern to me. I like small towns and the country. It’s why I am where I am, where people know my name and are happy to see me. I left nothing I wanted in Houston or Dallas except maybe the opera and ballet.

Hey, today is the 3rd of June!

See you Bobby Gentry crowned with Reba, one of my favorites by both ladies. True roots for Southern upward mobility.

Both ospreys nr. owl nest.

I sent two separate music links in different posts and both have disappeared into the ether. Possible because the album was titled Homespun Songs of the CSA, but neither song had any political leanings at all and were just popular Southern music of the period. Look up Bobby Horton if you like. He is an Alabama native who plays period stringed instruments.
Just bought more bird feeders to finish up the six super feeders we put out in front half of yard where we removed grass. These are positioned in a sweeping fly pattern so they can dive into trees to avoid hawks and owls. We have both and they catch birds, squirrels, rabbits, cats and small dogs.
But the birds are going crazy in a flying and eating frenzy. I love birds and nature. Yard is being planted for birds and butterflies, cats and apparently snakes.
I did same thing Mark and mine vanished too today so it is the number of links doing it, not subject.
“(Billy Ray) Cyrus will star in the (CMT Network) comedy, ‘Still the King,’ as Vernon Brown, a one-hit country star turned Elvis Presley impersonator who becomes a minister at a country church outside of Nashville.” – The Daily News
If he thinks that will atone for inflicting “Achy Breaky Heart” and his spawn Miley on the world, he’s sadly mistaken.
Jackie, I only put one link per post. Tried 4 different links to YTube and all vanished. Everything from Bobby Horton to the Chieftains to a lesson on how Shakespeare’s plays sounded in the original pronunciation.
Debbe 😉 A car dealer guy I know told me a story about a mechanic who was the source of much discussion at the dealership, due to a standard of living that appeared to be well above that of the average wrench-bender. It finally came out that the mechanic and his wife had started a rather lucrative InterWebNet business…selling the wife’s “used” panties. Not that I’m making any suggestions about what to do with your sweaty, ah, musky t-shirts, of course. Just sayin’. 😉
Lucrative! The demand must be much higher than I’d expect it to be. Whatever flips your minnow, I guess.
Peace,
