It’s the first full day of spring, and it has dawned with much promise in these parts. In fact, the forecast is for temperatures in the 80s, which is a bit much, but I’ll take it. As for today’s classic A&J, we can’t seem to get away from the old days, as in those old days when there were a lot more “wage slaves” than there are today. I now have a nephew in college and a niece in high school. I sometimes think what I’d advise them about a future livelihood if they were to ask (They haven’t!). I never can think of anything. The best thing I can come up with is, “Learn a foreign language.” At least that way you’ll know you’ve learned something. Plus, it might have future practical application. One never knows!

Has JJ been peering through my window and wire tapping my mind? Boat porn or psych?
OMG Jackie, you’re running around with your top down. I haven’t put mine down yet. Keep an eye on those fires.
Old Bear:
Both look great. Thanks for posting – will have to wait until this evening to watch and read. I’m running late this morning.
Bob, I’m WA9URU. Since my Dad passed away 15 years ago, I really haven’t used it. I still kept the license and even have it on my license plate, all I have operational is a 2 meter FM rig that I sometimes use to listen to in bad weather.
Guess I’m the exception. One full time civilian job, ’58-’94, biol. faculty, BSC/BSU. En route there: drug store delivery boy, summer farm worker, summer asst. zoo keeper, 2 yr. USAF Lt. College, grad. school, 1 yr. TA. Since then: vol. columnist, copy editor, hospital gopher, flirt, amateur theolog, mentor of 1 sort & another. Peace,
On paper I took two years of French in high school. Truth was, our teacher was supposed to teach math, but there were enough math teachers, so he got stuck with French. To say we strayed from the subject is a gross understatement. When I got to college I signed up for French, and made it through the first semester, and that was the end of that.
I have realized over the years that college isn’t for everyone, and manual labor is not to be looked down on.
This is to announce the release of my new book I Fought the Law and the Law lost or How I Brought a Perfectly Good Economic Recovery to a Screaming Halt, available at fine Dollar Stores everywhere.

Here’s an unusual war film:

Two Men Went to War (2002) — “Comedy drama based on the true story of two British Army dentists who in 1942, eager to see action, go AWOL and invade occupied France on their own.”
Arlo don’t be so picky! Details, details…. Just go enjoy the boat already. 🙂

Thanks.

Good morning Village. Things moving along steadily today. May not put top down. Overcast out there. Going home to pickup four days worth of clothes for my trip to birthday party.
I’m an interesting date.
And since you brought it up, WHAT IS IT exactly that you do that brings in a wage, hmm?
Poising for a cartoonist?
sand, I’m jealous your tomatoes are setting fruit. I will not have tomato plants (purchased) even in the ground for at least seven more weeks. I’ve been planning what to do with those tomatoes since December, however. 😉
Anyone else notice that more emojis have been made available for our texting pleasure? I am unreasonably excited that there is now a duck. I have often longed for that duck, although not as much as I have longed for a squirrel. Making do, in a poor way, with the chipmunk as a stand-in.
Unemployed RWL who is spending her children’s inheritance.
That is an occupation, right?
But yeah, I guess I could pose for a cartoonist still if I wanted to. I keep saying Roger Rabbits wife or Elvira or Janis or even 9CL maybe. Not “up” for Little Annie Fanny anymore.
Worried. ‘They’ have been running highlights all day at the GH Owl cam:

Peace,
Friends I have a heavy foot and showed the common sense of buying the small engine Mustang with an automatic instead of stick shift.
Coming from Muskogee back to Eufaula I looked down and I was cruising at over a hundred and hadn’t noticed! These new Ford engines are amazingly powerful and fast. Not your granny’s Mustang folks.
About my occupation, I have been expecting those catalog companies would begin giving me a professional discount on that lingerie.
Too old of course but back in the day my joke was I was going to hang out at the Warwick Hotel in Houston and pick up rich oil men. Which my daughter at age 5 informed all our friends at a wine party. LOL
Foreign languages are great and you can learn them anytime you want. As for professions, i always said I would be a veterinarian from early childhood and now I have been one for 50 years. I don’t regret a second of it.
God bless us every one. God Bless the USA.
Trapper Jean, see if you can persuade JJ to place us into contact. Thanks.
Steve from Royal Oak, MI – re Lost in Translation: I heartily agree with you. I could not believe it got all sorts of award nominations. Just an absolutely lousy movie!
Here is link to news story on wildfire that burned so many this week. Believed to be arson. Good story.
Bad people, arsonists. I would actually shoot one were I to encounter one.
