This Sunday A&J from 2009 seems appropriate. Things where I am are about to get worse: high temperatures in the mid 90s in coming days with (and this is the problem) high humidity and heat indices well into the triple digits. The ol’ bear will be on the prowl. Speaking of summer, in case you missed my post a few days ago, I’m trying to update regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays until late September. I figure if I can’t update often, I can at least update predictably. Discipline! That’s what’s needed around here, discipline!

Peace,
Ghost and I are on our way home having had one of best meals of my life and best surf and turf ever at P.F. Changs for brunch. We combined Mongolian beef with long life noodles and fried prawns. The prawns were gigantic and so lightly breaded. The beef was fork tender and delectable.
Ghost and I are unapologetic foodies. We are going to take some cooking classes together and do more fun cooking jointly. We are also going to start Spanish together because I need yo
To relearn and he has always wanted to learn Spanish. We all need to speak Spanish now.
Did I see that Jerry Lewis has died?
I also so that: π
But he lived a good long time and did some real good in this world.
I refuse to learn Spanish. I learned Japanese 40-odd years ago and I don’t have that many brain cells left to store another language.

funny!
Rest in peace Jerry ( my favorite….”loudly…Hey LADY”!!!!
I wasted some time replying to a flat-earth conspiratist that belives the eclipse is a fake! He didn’t like that the totality shadow is smaller than the moon or that the eclipse shadow moves west to east. I don’t know what I was thinking… I’m just part of the cover-up. π
Astrophysics is hard.
And Dick Gregory has died as well.
Good morning Villagers…

David in Austin:
The flat-earthers are a tough crowd.
They refuse to see the truth: Earth orbits Sol, and the Moon is actually an ancient spaceship, abandoned thousands of years ago and finally captured by Earth’s gravity.
Hope your Monday doesn’t start off like this:

Jimmy, today’s strip: two thumbs up!
Good morning, Villagers! In about 15 minutes we will be off to Rabun Gap to watch the eclipse. Yes, we have approved glasses. A man who works with my sister actually asked if this was really such a big deal. The entire office answered YES. How someone can be so clueless is beyond me.
Oh, and just tell any flat-earthers that there is conclusive proof that the Earth is round. If it were flat cats would have pushed everything off by now.
Jean…I laughed and sputtered over that one….good one girl π
This is so me at 4ish in the morning taking Ian to work π

I started my search for eclipse glasses WAY too late and was a little down until my brother pointed out that on April 8, 2024 there will be another total eclipse and Indianapolis will be right in it’s path. I was joking that some of these glasses were going to arrive after the event, but I wish that I had ordered them so that I will be ready in 7 years.
Very sad about Jerry Lewis. Wonderful man
Oh and I meant to comment about how much I loved today’s A&J. Great job Arlo…or should I complement Janis….or Jimmy?
I would show today’s A&J to my smarter half, but that would give her ideas. Actually our whole plans for the event have changed. We will have two of our grandchildren over to view it. Our granddaughter is a very sick little girl, but will be with us anyway. Our grandson we are picking up early from school on an unexcused absence because the school is doing nothing for the event afraid of lawsuits. Not only that they are dismissing on time which is right at totality. Great education response to a major event.
