We’re getting to be like old friends, aren’t we? I know I’ve shown you this cartoon before and told you this story, but here it is again. Speaking of Hurricanes. The framed original of this 1997 A&J strip belonged to my good friend and neighbor John in Pass Christian. Being a painter himself, he particularly admired the artwork in this particular piece. However, it was lost in Hurricane Katrina, along with John’s house and much of everything else he owned. In the days after the storm, I helped John pick through the rubble of his home, and we saved many things, including some art pieces, but we never found this cartoon.

We go less to Subway than we do the local deli. While there is one on the local highway, it and the gas station / tacoria are on the wrong side of the road. My usual highway stops are Starbucks and the kolache shop, both are on the right side of the road. 😉
Will leave you this mixed seasonal funny.

Debbe, I think Ghost said he’d be travelling this week. Skittle’s lyrics are good. RA- yes! brag is good. CEP, I didn’t learn much of my grandfather’s welsh but is that something about coffee? Wish I could hear you say it 🙂 Have good days, folks…..
Debbe, found this road sign in London, unsure of its exact meaning; it just amused me.

Today’s comic: Good for Arlo!
Today’s Ballard Street: Colorist has made woman’s purse disappear against backgr.
Peace
Sand, it amused me too.
OK all, this Village seems emptier without its haunted resident, our beloved Ghost. I hope his trip ends soon and he returns. Funny, the ghosts in my real house have vanished and I never miss them at all.
Sand it would not do for me to have a kolache shop and a taquria on the road outside my ranch. I’d look like a bale of hay. With strings to hold it together.
Heavy fog has lifted so I need to get going toward Memphis. Little Rock looked more like London with a lot of truck stops last night and fog still bad at 9.30 this morning.
Listening to classical guitar on Pandora as I often do, I noticed the guitarist has long blonde hair and is sitting on a white horse in a meadow wearing a guitar.
One way to sell classical music.
Jackie, not being able to see the picture, are they selling to men or women?
I would say it would convert any man to listening to classical guitar. She is beautiful and she is the instrumentalist. I listen to this station ait, have been a classical guitar fan all my life, thanks to Andre Sego via.
And Chet Atkins.
Debbe, you’re having a heck of a week, but Skittles is a keeper.
Notice the foreign road sign which said “stop” in Arabic. The writer claims it was seen in, and I quote, “Morocco, Egypt”! Methinks not.
Llee: It asked “Do you like coffee?” I think it is the singular “you”. The way I pronounce my Swedish is quite inaccurate and probably funny, but the way I pronounce my Welsh is close to criminal!
GM Debbe – I am gaining on it.

This did not show up – but when resubmitted the system said
it was. So I will try again.
NOW it shows
For reasons unknown, we have a pair of Navy jets flying circles overhead.
Where, Sand?
The Blue Angels will be performing at an air show at Ellington next weekend. Perhaps some pre-show recon work?
My trip got extended beyond its original perimeters. And it’s not the kind of trip one would necessarily want extended. So not the best week I’ve had lately. I hope to be back at Home Base early next week and begin getting back to what I laughingly refer to as normal.
I did think of the Village in general and Lady Mindy in particular the other day when I passed an establishment apparently devoted to meeting the needs of adult beverage enthusiasts and saw the sign “Time flies when you’re having rum”.
GR6, welcome back. Would be a low profile recon about 45 miles from Ellington Field, never seen an air show with that much foot print. These bad boys are wearing gray with your basic unseeable markings.
cep, far west side of Houston; Katy – Fulshear area.
Glad you are “back” Ghost more or less. I was worried.
Sand: Any large sports events that might merit a flyover? (Although I thought they weren’t doing that anymore.)
Search and rescue?
