Navigational Hazard

by Jimmy Johnson


I miss boat fever. It was a mistake to allow Arlo to acquire the sailboat. The endless sweet agony of anticipation was a state of mind with which many readers seemed to relate. For years, people would beg to be put out of their misery, beseeching me, “Please let Arlo get a boat!,” and I would laugh maniacally, “Bwahahahahahahahaha…!” Well, I remember laughing that way, but maybe I just thought it. Then, I weakened, and people began asking, “What happened to Arlo’s boat?!” And that, dear readers, is how we got where we are today, and none of us knows where we’re headed.

    Loved Blondie’s strip today. Memorial Day is for the fallen, but the sentiment is there.

    After I posted the above, I thought to look and see whether JJ had posted a new entry today. Yep, our favorite cartoonist decided to bless us today! So I reposted it as the eighth comment of the day.

    Howdy, I do believe your blog could be having web browser compatibility issues.
    Whenever I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got
    some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Besides that, wonderful site!

    you need to publish more on this subject matter, it might not be a
    taboo matter but typically folks don’t talk about these issues.
    To the next! Many thanks!!
