Ruthmore

by Jimmy Johnson


I’m sorry I missed updating yesterday. I’m trying to do better about that. Actually, I was away from my lair yesterday and am again today, but Gene and Ruth resume their 1996 conversation. To be a stickler about it, it is their second conversation, and Gene’s confidence grows. However, I am going to interrupt our own conversation about adult Gene and the other coast people—and the boat—for at least a day. Thank you for coming by!

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    That’s apparently the way to sneak a URL in. emb

    How about The Gaia Station? The Egg Carton? Eats, Shoots and Leaves?

    The Chandlery. Keeps a piece of the nautical past that the kids had, plus a wink to Gus and The Dock. Eggs and veggies, with a side of line and topsiders.

    Thought the Greek chorus was funny. Unloading van, getting in giant two or three person jacuzzi in room, Dickens is asleep in bed.
    I’ll join him. Good night.

    Jackie, you may have had to do your ROTC marching in heels, hose and garter belt, but today you could volunteer for Army Ranger training, and they wouldn’t require you to wear heels, hose and garter belt for it. So things have changed somewhat.

    Debbe 😉 This old heart of mine is happy I’m back on my full-bore exercise schedule. Unlike yours, my job doesn’t with a built-in workout.

    Missed my big chance for a Janis worthy selfish and I haven’t taught Dickens to use the camera yet. But he was a worried doggie as I disappeared in the fiam.

    Filled jacuzzi with water, then poured in lavender salts and soothing all purpose shower, bath wash with foaming bubbles. Turned it on and I looked like a head poking through a huge white cloud, disappearing as foam rose higher and higher, about two feet higher than tub in places. With mirrored wall, it looked like a giant meringue with top of my head and nose above it.

    Let water out, tub is STILL filled with bubbles to top and I had to go wash down in shower to remove suds. Totally obscured. Priceless.

    Post of 9 April
    Miss Holscher

    She was sort of correct about the Sun (Both should have been correct?)
    Time is a human concept developed so everything does not happen at once.

    No Humans no eternity – that does not mean the sun will not go out.
    (Gobbling the Earth in the process)

    Just saw a program about the moon – it is receding from earth 1.5 inches a year,
    eventually it will become stationary in relation to earth rotation so will be geosynchronous.

    Good show on the origins of the moon.

    4. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

    I know Miss Holcher was not teaching time concept so was she doubly wrong.

    Good morning Villagers…

    GR 😉 , funny thing is I was thinking of Demi Moore’s photo op while riding into work yesterday morning. Tacky, just plain tacky.

    Am enjoying the current real time arc JJ….hope there is not a fox in the hen house.

    My big boy, Golden Boy (new name for my rooster) is getting so big, his color is a golden yellow and his comb a rich blood red. His eyes are so big, kinda scary looking at you. He is starting crowd out his Miss Prissy he’s so big. May have Ian bring him into the packing room today for some exercise. I’m waiting for the golden egg to come into the packing room 🙂 (I wish)

    Old Bear, what channel was that moon program on?

    Did not sleep well again last night….life is so cyclical…….

    Mark and Sand, some good names for the stand….

    later

    ya’ll have a sunny Tuesday, the sun comes out today…

    O.B.: “(Gobbling the Earth in the process).” That class was in 1944 or so. Don’t know if we knew then about Earth’s eventual red giant stage. Pretty sure Miss Holscher didn’t, among many other things. Miss Kelly, Mrs. Lauber, Mrs. Betz [Librarian], and Mlle. McGillicuddy were good teachers. Also, Miss Graham[?], math. Don’t remember all of them, and don’t remember the names of a few. Amy English was principal. Peace,

    I’ve been away and I have no idea what today’s strip is about. I do have great news. Some in the Village may remember the story of my step-son and his fiancé of about 14 years. They snuck off to Gatlinburg and got married. I was so happy when they called and told us last night that I was crying.
