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.”

Received a promotional email from LL Bean, offering 20% off on: canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards. Wonder if they know more about upcoming Texas weather than the local meteortologist.
I saw TV footage while peddling a cross trainer tonight that showed Texans paddling canoes and kayaks through their neighborhoods with their suburban homes under water. I thought it was already there?
Hope Katy is safe or where ever you and Loon flew into for anchorage.
sand, maybe their promotional department is watching The Weather Channel and picking which products to promote in different parts of the country?
By this time tomorrow night we are supposed to have a tropical storm just to our east, but right now it is calm and clear. We had some very dark clouds this afternoon but no rain.
Debbe 😉 I’ve never known a Super Sexy Chicken Lady before…

Good morning Villagers…
….and good morning back at you Old Bear!!!
Jerry, so glad to have read your post…you are blessed with perseverance, much admiration from me for you. Simple things like typing on this key board I just take for granted. I’ve been clocked at 80 words per minute when I went to business school years ago. Stay safe.
Thank you Jackie…sage advice and yes, I did inherit outlaws…oops, I meant to say in-laws 🙂
Nothing spectacular yesterday, going to be a hot one today….I finally said POI, and shed the hazmat suite about halfway into packing….I couldn’t get that suit off fast enough.
Mark, made the lol cat part of my screen savor…still funny too.
And yes, this Village is cheaper than therapy 🙂
Happy Monday ya’ll
GR 😉 another signature song of days past, you’ll love this one…..

Jackie, back when Mom owned the bridal shop, I always said the bride and groom spent more time on the wedding than planning a marriage….when asked how business was, I would reply “repeat business is good!”
I encourage everyone to read today’s Peanuts strip.
Thank you, Rick.
When I was a florist I hated dealing with Bridzilla but by third or fourth time they were usually piece of cake customers except they no longer bothered to have the cake.
Debbe, if you still have Dish and the Epix movie channels, find Shaun the Sheep movie and watch it. Same studio that did Chicken Run. It’ll get you laughing. Even has a rooster who keeps trying to steal scenes.
To really admire Linda find a recent interview. If we knew that PD could be transmitted to another person it would be considered an epidemic. Mark, that happens more often than you think.
We all know this one from Top Gun and the bar scene. But here is my favorite version and it isn’t Mr. Cruise. I love the whiskey Voice and for me Waylon was always the outlaw I wanted to know, never any of the others. He was my favorite bad boy and still is.

Regarding “Different Drum”- an example of a cover song better than the original and interpreted much differently than the writer intended. Mike Nesmith wrote this as a brush-off breakup song whilst Linda’s version became more wistful with a if-only-things-were-different feeling.
Here’s a song for Jerry and Elvis and Cilla. If there are other Waylon and Elvis fans in the Village, listen too. How many of you know they sang together or that Waylon could sound like Elvis?

Hopefully, no one will wish you a “Happy D-Day” today.
No, not a happy day, but a day to remember just why that generation is called The Greatest Generation. And, on an entirely different note, Ghost, when I got here I noticed that your post is number 169, which is the square of 13. I hope you’re not superstitious about such things.
Debbe, a nice bit of music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rQxI3-xSeg
For D Day and all the other days. https://youtu.be/k5JkHBC5lDs
I am not a good date for war movies. I think too much.
Elvis thanks you. His favorite movie is Born Free. I have photos of him watching it.
C-ex-P: Thanks for the note on Friday. That’s fun, and yes, that definitely sounds like me. I’ll send Miss Charlotte and Mindy from Indy notes on FB and ask for your email.
We have sunshine, blue sky and it’s perfectly calm. I guess that we’re in the eye.
