It isn’t easy depicting Arlo and Janis in the act of kissing. They don’t really have lips, or even mouths sometimes. Arlo’s nose gets in the way. And kissing is really kind of a silly act when you step back and observe it objectively, something admittedly difficult to do. Anyway, I think it turned out as well as could be in this old strip from 2004. We’ll talk about that boat next week.

2 peregrine eggs + bird, but not incubating. Maybe, unlike most raptors and also herons, peregrines don’t incubate unless the whole clutch is laid. We’ll see.

1″ snow here in Mpls. Hi of 42F should melt it. Elohim willing, will watch GSVLOC do Iolanthe at the Conn Aud. on Nicollet this evening.
Peace,
Debbe, also a chilly, rainy day in south Texas. My theory; Congress may say spring forward, but the Good Lord still has the final say.
I can honestly say I have never been interested in any sport, much preferring to curl up with a good book and a cup of Earl Grey tea, but when I was in high school there was a little termagant of a PE teacher who was sure I should play basketball for the women’s team and never understood why I didn’t want to. She made my life miserable for the several years I had to take PE classes and was furious when I took the opt out choice my senior year and never stepped foot in the gym again.
Mark, good to hear your Mom is home!
Trapper: People don’t understand us.
I reported above / snow here in the Cities. At the time, there was no snow on the ground in Bemidji, and there still doesn’t seem to be much. But Lake B. still has thin ice on it, and seems to have a new dusting of snow. The lakefront webcam is on 24/7/365, but is fixed and wide angle, unlike the OF cam and the Cornell Savannah GA G.H.Owl cams. If you save this site, you can check on Lake B. forever. A few weeks ago, on a weekday, there were scores of cars on the ice near the left [west] shore: unofficial student parking lot. Come summer, there w/b dragon boat races.

Good morning all. Thank you for the good wishes for my mom. Today’s new experience was unwrapping the bandage from her toes and then applying Betadine and new bandage. With a chorus of oh, oh and take it easy the whole time. I don’t know whether they are truly that painful or if she just anticipates it will be and reacts to what’s in her mind. Either way, it got done.
Mark does your betadine have any kind of substance like salve in it to make it stick on and adhere ? When I had toe surgery mine did and there is one for wound care on large animals, like horses, that saved that six inches cat gash on my right breast and the cat bite on my left leg that got septic from the deep bites.
I know it is same one they use on humans since I compared, although my human one included honey substance according to surgeon who compound ed it.
Subject: Fairness. The item below is from John Zech’s ‘Composer’s Datebook’ an MPR feature I get online. The whole C.D. is about Gounod’s “Faust,” with one comment by Edith Wharton. “Wharton, Edith, (1862-1937). ‘Gounod’s “Faust” became a worldwide success, and was quickly translated into many languages. In Wharton’s fictional New York performance [In her novel ‘The Age of Innocence’], for example, the real-life Swedish diva Christine Nilsson sang the role of Marguerite, the pure German maiden seduced and abandoned by Faust. As Wharton puts it:
“She sang, of course, ‘m’ama!” and not “he loves me,’ since an unalterable and unquestioned law of the musical world required that the German text of French operas sung by Swedish artists should be translated into Italian for the clearer understanding of English-speaking audiences.”
Comp. Datebook. 160319
‘The Age of Innocence’ was published in 1919 [serialized] and 1920 [book]. Wharton was then 58, and had already published a dozen novels or novellas. The 19th Amendment became part of our Constitution in 1920. At age 58, the genius who penned that delightful sentence was first able to vote in a Federal election. Peace,
Well behaved women seldom make history.
I have been debating that statement as to what constitutes a well behaved woman with a man on line who takes issue with my statement. He is among a rigid mindset on women.
Edith Wharton was brilliant and not well behaved. I love her.
Jackie, what constitutes a “well behaved woman” would seem to me to be so subjective as to make reaching anything like a consensus somewhat problematic. For instance, I suspect the man you are debating and I would likely be far apart on that.
Not to mention on what constitutes a “manly man”.
I think he would say women like the Duggar bunch on reality television. Most people consider me a much tiny inspiration like Edith, not willing to conform.

That wasn’t the Edith Wharton link but if anyone wants to come build boats with me and sleep in a 19 60s vintage beach camp and cook seafood, come along! Jimmy, this is right up Arlo and Janis subject matter if you’d like to help out!
Mark if you see this, please post my Edith Wharton post from Facebook! I can’t and don’t know why?
Anon, could you use a 34-ft. sailing vessel in good shape? My friend decided it was time to sell. Sleeps six. Presently located in a tributary of Chesapeake Bay….
The Arlo & Janis Yacht Yard and Ship Chandlery. With a fine selection of T-shirts and other eye fetching apparel.
Bikinis?
Have your friend send me an email on the boat in Chesapeake. I am a sucker for that area and size boat.
Jackie Monies address m_monies@yahoo.com. will reach me. That is one I use on boating stuff and read it multi times per day.

My son had a problem with a coach also – never gave him decent
grades because he did not go for FB or BB. New PE instructor = good grades.
Later he did video of BB games so was involved.

Had whiteout conditions on way to work this AM (West of Twin Cities)
slippery roads – 3inches of snow, gone this afternoon but chilly.
back Monday.
“Anon.”
“… women like the Duggar bunch on reality television.” He might, if he had any idea who they are.
A WBW is a WB person who happens to be female. She need not be pretty, but is nonetheless beautiful. Is not ordinarily violent, loves her neighbor as herself, feeds the hungry, cares for the sick, leaves the world a better place than when she found it. Likes to learn, uses what she learns for good, enjoys good conversation, listens well. If she is affectionate, she means it.
I was married to one for 58 yr. and know lots of examples, most of whom are not widely known. Many have been my students, some my teachers. The public figure who first comes to mind has a Chicago university named after her, Eleanor Roosevelt. I know three female pastors who fit, and may meet a 4th at a Mpls. UMC tomorrow.
Peace,
emb – One of my customers is watching the eagle eggs in DC with his young grandson. He has kept after me to watch, so I’ve been watching off and on some this afternoon. My cousin the vet has rehabilitated a blad eagle, and I had the privilege of seeing him up close. Amazing. Her home probably qualifies as a small zoo. She specializes in raptors and exotics. I not only need to send her a thank you card for everything she did for grandma while I was in Illinois, but need to visit and see who all is new.
Weird. Had to divide and post.
Zero interest or talent in basketball. My bestie and her family are nuts for all if it. Just don’t mention Indy trading off Manning. They are still miffed. I love racing. Specifically nascar, but anything going loud and fast will do. And rowing. Fell in love with that during the last summer Olympics.
I need to learn to row, it is best way to get from a boat to shore. Just small tender and two oars. My 12 foot sailboat came with special 9 foot take apart oars.
But I think you were watching racing rowers in special skinny boats called scull which have sliding seats and special mechanical set up.
