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.”

Lady buns good; man buns, not so much.
Talkin’ ’bout hair styles. You believe that, don’t you?
Speaking of which, it’s time to make another appointment with P&PHS already. She always says my hair grows faster than any she’s seen; I tell her it’s because it likes to come see her.
By the way I liked your choice of hair and beards combo, Ghost. Like their music too. So, you are six five and look like a country rock star combo?
If you are real then you better send me that picture. I get a half dozen or so a day, all divorced and widowed with appealing children. They should try boats or dogs and cats or fly fishing but I digress. I just delete the applications. I like real friends.
‘Two years and two days later, on June 6, 1944, the Allies invaded Normandy on D Day. Even though the basic strategy was always “Get Hitler First,” I find it dubious that we would have been able to devote so much shipping to the Normandy Landings if there were still six fleet carriers opposing us in the Pacific. I’m no expert, but I honestly wonder if D Day could have happened without Midway.’
Side: I expect you are right. At age 12, I knew about the battle of Midway, but not how pivotal it was. Is any pundit claiming that the first, if it failed, would not have delayed the latter? I don’t follow WWII history closely, but it seems likely people would expect the three theaters do affect one another. We had the resource, infrastructure, and organizational advantage, by and large, but they were not infinite. I’ve heard that about half our productive capacity was devoted to the war effort. That % may well have been higher in the UK and USSR. The latter certainly had geographic and demographic advantages, but at great cost. I believe they suffered greater mortality than the rest of the Allies put together.
I’m not sure we have learned as much from that and other conflicts as we might, except for the lesson that we should be militarily prepared.
Peace [?],
‘TO affect one another.’
No, just six two.
Why don’t I get a half dozen or so pix per day from women? It’s because I’m not a Millionaire Widow Lady, isn’t it?
Never married, so never divorced. No children, appealing or otherwise. That I know of.
Maybe I’ll tease you with a picture from back in the day, when I was keeping America safe from whatever it was we needed to be kept safe from.
Just one chick? There were two some days ago, and often an adult or two prevented a good look at the nest. Peace,

You know I have always been swept off my feet by pilots and flight instructors, air traffic controllers and lately even a glider pilot and a helicopter pilot. Of course, that is what aircraft and pilots are supposed to do isn’t it, sweep you away?
That was before the modern form of air travel entered the herd em into cattle cars mode.
emb: notes below the webcam image say the other chick was taken by a predator, other egg nonviable and destroyed.
We have lots of eagles in cliffs down by marina at far end of Lake, they nest in rocks and soar over the lake and mountains down by dam where Canadian River exits out of Lake. I love to watch them from land or water. Even the features are protected, only Native Americans may own them.
I have a friend in Puget Sound, fabulous eagle photographer. I will post some of his work here.
Eagles photos didn’t work. Later. My fortune said to place special emphasis on old friendship. Just had mostly vegetarian Chinese food, mushrooms, green beans, broccoli and cantaloupe. Half a cup of grilled chicken. No rice or noodles, no fried my friends who own the restaurant cook for me special. I love them.

Some eagles. As promised, thanks to Mark telling me how.
Excuse me but how did best cheap gaming get on here? That is genuine spam and we can’t even make it on with our music links? Don’t go there.
And the spammer’s spelling was atrocious!
Looks like the writer took English as a third (or lower) language. I agree with Jackie, don’t click on any of the links there, including the name.
Here’s a test for your heart:

If you don’t need tissues by the end of it, your don’t have a heart!
What spam link? I didn’t (and don’t) see one.
So, Jackie, I’m guessing some secret admirer is sending songs directly to you on, I suppose, Libro di Face?
Nope, my prior to this week private gmail account. One daily or so. Interesting choices.
Ghost, the spam appeared under the previous retro strip.
I spent about two hours yesterday in bed surrounded by lovely young ladies. They were wearing masks too. Woo-hoo! They (with a little help from some doctors) were replacing one of the batteries in my chest. At the finish I began finding it difficult to catch my breath so they decided I was reved up a little too high and they set me back to idle which is about my usual speed and I’m fine.
This is NOT one of mystery music choices but I do like this group, the song and the place.

Need to walk around Walmart. I am short my goal of walking today but got in 30 minutes on elliptical trainer and heart rate stayed just fine.
Jerry – That is some tune-up! While I do not envy your predicament, I am glad to hear you are making the best of it.
Hugs, Jerry…
Something fun here. When I was in Birmingham with Mark we went to a place called Treasure Hunt and I scored something REALLY valuable to me, all the leftover Easter Peeps in Birmingham, Alabama. I bought them all.
Each year at Sail Oklahoma we hold a fun boat race that involves scooping peeps out of the lake while sailing boats that look like kids toys using butterfly and dip nets. It involves adults and children and children at heart. Follow the link Miss Charlottesville, it will delight you.

Jerry, I’m equipped with a CRT-D. What do you sport in your chest?
The store is Bargain Hunt and they had a big stock of Peeps and other Easter candy cheep. So on the way back to OK, the back of the van was full of cat cages and the middle seats were almost completely filled with packages of Peeps. Did you know they make those in flavors like blueberry and raspberry now?
