This effort from this month in 2010 seems appropriate. It’s been a busy spring around the ol’ home site (the corporeal one), with a lot of planned projects and unplanned. Just this morning, I awoke to a giant pecan limb down in the backyard. At times like this, we quote Sammy the Squirrel from the animated movie Over the Hedge. “It never ends that way, too!!” Sometimes, like Arlo, I look at the road and let my mind wander. But only my mind and not for long.

Locally, the current probability of precipitation is 0%, increasing to 2% by 1 PM. As a former USAF weatherman and commercial pilot, I may possibly know more about meteorology than the average bear. But, like Arlo, I wonder what does that even mean? Two chances out of a hundred at least one rain drop will hit the ground somewhere in a five-count area? Guess I should research that.
I took the road once. Was worth it. Of course, that was the ’60’s.
This is a good one. So good that it really works as a standalone. No need to follow with more, just let the reader imagine what is happening. Thank you for changing the scenery and jogging our memories, Jimmy.
“pecan tree” sounds so nice to us yankees….
I left a comment earlier and it isn’t here. ? I like this retro a lot Jimmy. Well done, stopping in time to leave the followup to the imagination. I’m glad you had the time to change the scenery here today, and appreciate you taking the time to do it.
But, it is such a pleasant day out on the curb…
Well, what do you know, I got the first comment. It’s almost a shame that this is a Sunday strip, as I’d like to know what the emergency was.
Good grief! Am I truly the first? Hello, everybody.
In a more perfect world the only plumbing emergencies would be self-inflicted (kids are great at causing them!) and never happen at 3 a.m. like mine have.
Love their shocked faces in this one! Haha!
Several of us figured we were today’s first commenter, including me. Apparently, the electronic system was saving up our entries and then spewed them out in short order. With no comments showing, one would, indeed, think one was first.
Have you ever notice as soon as you start to work on plumbing, especially the sewage, your nose will start to itch.
A Thursday retro! Does this mean that it is a “throw-back Thursday”? Yes or no… I am just enjoying it. Hang in there Jimmy! The Village is rooting for you!
BTW, usually, I am me. but today I seem to be TruckerRon! I shall try to correct that. In the meantime… Galliglo signing off.
I see my post of yesterday and it says that the comment is awaiting moderation. Can anyone else see it?
“Moderation” was turned on earlier today. The blogware seems to have a mind of its own at times. A very feeble mind, apparently.
Well, the legs of Janis’s shorts are wet well above their hems. Whatever it is, it can’t be good.
Does that make picking the pecans easier???
Spot on again, Jimmy! My entire spring has been just one darn thing after another, and I’ve contemplated that road many times.
Are comments messed up yet again?
Another classic comic, but it got me wondering- do people usually have a curb wrench sitting around in their house?
Huh. No comments since 12:59 yesterday? I’m suspecting we still have problems here.
You can tell A&J live in the South – The meter is outside the house and the “T”
wrench is NOT taller than he is.
I’m surprised nobody has said anything more for two days? Cat got your tongue?
Is this mic on?
Checking to see if this gets moderated

It’s now Sunday, and the last post was Thursday. Has everybody run out of things to say?
