I’m not much of a sketcher. I don’t have a lot of doodles or rough drafts lying around my office. So, what is all this junk lying around? But that’s another topic. I attribute this mainly to being a writer first and a graphic artist second. All my life I’ve had a knack for drawing, but it turned out to be a secondary talent. I marvel at the manic impulse to doodle that possesses so many of my cartooning peers. I wish I were more like that. However, every now and then, I turn out a sketch for the sake of warming up, or improving my chops, or—rarest of all—because I feel like drawing something. Anyway, I drew this one last week; I think it was a subliminal desire to be at the beach. I thought I would share it with you.

Mark, thanks! While I might quibble over where conservatives show up (modern day ones want to shrink government, not worship it), I can see the confusion stemming from the make up of the Republican party. The leadership (blue bloods) want to run the government, the rest of the party rejects statism.
All I know, emb, is what Jerry himself has said in my hearing. I’m not about to edit his Wikipedia page without more acceptable sources.
That’s what I thought it was. I had forgotten feed lots or might have driven elsewhere. Also forgot this hotel until I saw elevators and doors
Jackie, just found this site while looking for a particular song I heard on Pandora. Think you and your crew might like it: http://shanty.rendance.org/index.php
Good night all. I’ve been up too long.
Debbe 😉 Were you ever “dirty sweet”, back in the day? 🙂

I still cannot get the message I composed this morning to post. This is the message it generates:
“The requested URL was rejected. If you think this is an error, please contact the webmaster.

Other messages post without a problem. Any of you computer experts out there have an idea as to what is the problem?
GR 😉 you betcha…..clad in black, never looked back and had a hub cap diamond starred halo! Now, is there anything else you would like to know? 🙂 Love the songs you post, makes my day. Thanks
Good morning Villagers….
Oh, and I was perky too. GR 🙂
Loved the one comment on TDS, “perky can put your eyes out’ 🙂
Miserable day at the packer yesterday, egg shells are thin, keep breaking all over the packer, and that’s no ‘yolk’ folks….then at the end of the day, a stinking top belt broke and wrapped around the black roller thereby causing the red cup that picks up the egg off the belt to break….gosh, I can hard wait to go in this morning! Going to put ‘Skittles’ on removing eggs off the top onto other belts.
The temp on my front porch is 55 degrees right now with a high of 80 degrees today. I know me and my Miss Prissies are happy the heat wave is gone and will be for the next 10 days…according to whether.com!
Ya’ll have a blessed day
Just called the hen house and it’s a pleasant 68 degrees in there.

Also, today’s 9CL is good. emb
Good morning all. Where is everyone? I think this must be Kansas.
GR6, according to the Emma Peel bio on IMDB, Mrs. Peel’s husband was Peter Peel. He was a test pilot whose plane crashed in the jungle and he was presumed dead. She left the show when her husband was found alive and went to the jungle to live with him. A lucky man indeed.
Especially if Mrs. Peel adopted the style of loincloth worn by the early Jane (of Tarzan of the Apes fame) for everyday jungle wear.
My message from yesterday would not post from my tablet either. Very strange.
I was just trying to tell Denise that either “pert” or “perky” was correct enough for Arlo’s meaning. My mind has just always registered “pert” as more descriptive of the ones with apexes that are horizontally oriented, within a few degrees plus or minus. Well, for at least as far back as when I started noticing such things.
I was also trying to tell her that, based on her clothing-to-suit-the-temperature method, if she lived in my part of the Deep South she would probably put on quite a sartorial show this time of year.
Oh, and this just in…empirical evidence from Debbe that “perky” will work just fine. 😉
And no, hon, that probably tells me everything I need to know. 🙂
Putin’s secret weapon?

Debbe, that sounds like a real mess with the eggshells. I’m happy for you and the Misses that the temps are so much lower, though.
Speaking of temps, I sure would, Ghost. I’d be wishing I still had the teeny blue bikini that my husband remembers so fondly. (Johnny Weissmuller matched Maureen O’Sullivan for hotness in the early Tarzan movies degree for degree.)

Mark and Denise: Regarding Tarzan link – Oh yes! LOL
Thank you, Mark…and Phil thanks you, too!

(Hope that worked.)
If I surrender to Putin’s secret weapon, I wonder if they will hold it against me?
And just because:

You want to have a small bear held against yourself?
From a different angle, in the interests of gender equality…
