First things first. This not-so-old A&J comic strip is from January, 2015. There’s a controversial subject I’ve been avoiding for a long time, but I might as well bring it up today: the weather. It hasn’t rained where I live since the middle of September. Not. A. Drop. We’re in what’s called an “exceptional drought,” as bad as it gets. The next reasonable chance for rain is a week from tomorrow, according to the Weather Channel website’s “10-day Outlook” which is notoriously unreliable beyond three days out. And it’s unseasonably warm with no frost yet. I am certain that, if not for the drought, we’d still be cutting the lawn a week from Thanksgiving. There. I said it.

Little seems to be afoot in the Village today as well. Sometimes that’s a good thing.
Luckily my stone mason remembered I had a commercial shrimp cooler, as large as a small car. We loaded it with 20 bags of ice and contents of my fridge so I haven’t lost anything so far.
Spent afternoon shopping sales for my helper and her baby. They have gone to North Carolina to visit her mom. I have decided Christmas will be at Thanksgiving for me and I will give everyone early gifts. We should keep Christmas in our hearts anyway.
And my left knee is hurting so bad it is all I can do to keep going but I am. Miss you all.
Since Ghost is somewhere in 1985 I thought I would take you back to 1963 to the ultimate erotic eating scene ever filmed in a movie. I give you Tom Jones as the hero consuming everything in sight including the voluptuous Widow woman. At least I think she’s a widow, I only saw movie once in 1963.
Just never forgot. https://youtu.be/tezjznL9NzM
About the current strip on the kids, that’s real. The way it often happens. Brief shutdown with a reason, get inspected again and reopen.
Or burn restaurant down with a kitchen fire.
The day offering should be titled, “Fleecing the lambs.”
Captain Renault: “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!”
Croupier: “Your winnings, sir.”
Captain Renault:”Oh, thank you!”
Good morning Villagers……
Jackie, I pray that this morning finds you in less pain…….Amen
Emb, yeah, that was pretty funny. You should check out his top ten pranks….it’s listed on the right. The very last one is priceless.
Steve….. had to look Captain Renault up, came across this….too funny: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0003053/quotes
Last day in the seventies…need to take advantage of it.
Back on telemarketing…I just happened to be in the packing room when the phone rang….they asked for Vernon Mathies….told the man he has been dead at least 15 years….he says “Oh, Jesus”, I said “I’m not Jesus” he then retorted “well do you have his number?” I hung up on him….later I remembered Jeremiah 33.3. ( ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’) I call that verse God’s phone number. Like I said…not as quick as I use to be….
later

I am trying to remember the “reason” most restaurants put on the sign taped to door when board of health or other entity shuts them down. It was almost always same.
How would I know this? Because I lived in Houston home of Marvin Zindler investigative reporter who shut down the best little whorehouse and had a song written about him, “there’s slime in the ice machine”.
He did nightly restaurant reports on TV and reported abouthat how many dead rats and cockroaches were found.
Slime in the Ice Machine to listen and laugh.

And here is Marvin reporting from his hospital bed at Houston, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center on restaurant closures due to health violations.

Jimmy, I had to chuckle about the inspector in today’s strip. He knows Mary Lou and Gene are doing a great job but just need to jump through the official safety hoops to stay in business.
Jackie, that’s sweet of you to send that little baby off warm to see Grandma! About the joint replacement surgery: I’ve never heard anyone who had it express any regret.
Debbe, “Casablanca” and “African Queen” are my favorite Bogie movies. The dialogue and sets really make “Casablanca.” That reminds me, I got a copy of the book “African Queen” at my favorite used bookstore and haven’t yet read it. When winter finally sets in here, I’m going to tuck myself under an afghan with Mr. Allnutt and Rose.
Bryan, in the area in which you live, is there a dry season and a wet season?

Willmar is about an hour SSW of here. If ‘everything happens for a reason’, PETA would argue that Elohim are telling this guy he’s in the wrong business:

We got 3” last night, it’s still snowing and drifting, and not supposed to rise above 32 F for the next few days. Astronomical and climatological winters are two different things. Forgot to buy a zucchini Wed.; will do without till we’re plowed out.
Smigz, Jackie went off and bought every size 2T and 24 month winter outfit so baby is totally clothed for rest of winter. I have done this for years for my own two grandchildren. It occurred to me yesterday that I had never been thanked, much less tears shed.
So I bought clothes for the mom too. She is both beautiful and sweet, hard working. Her dad is my stone mason, she is like him but weird thing is how much she is like me. I suspect that is what makes her have some obsessive compulsive traits, like orderly closets, cabinets, etc. But that is what I like too.
I did not watch Casablanca until I met my wife when I was 25. The movie was showing at a local theater and my mother-in-law insisted that I take my future wife. Needless to say, I was hooked. My MIL and I still argue about the ending. I say it’s perfect and she wants Bogie to run off with her!
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty
much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

What i do not understood is in reality how you’re no longer really a lot more neatly-appreciated than you might
be now. You’re very intelligent. You already know therefore considerably on the subject of this topic, produced me in my
opinion imagine it from a lot of various angles.
Its like women and men aren’t involved unless it is one thing to do with Lady gaga!
Your personal stuffs nice. At all times care for it up!

Hello friends, its fantastic post regarding teachingand
fully explained, keep it up all the time. cheap flights http://1704milesapart.tumblr.com/ cheap flights
I believe what you published was actually very reasonable.
However, what about this? what if you typed a catchier title?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however
suppose you added something that makes people want
more? I mean Soap Dish – Home of the comic strip Arlo & Janis is
a little vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they
write post titles to get people interested. You might add a
related video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit
more interesting. scoliosis surgery https://0401mm.tumblr.com/ scoliosis surgery
