Today’s retro comic is a Sunday from 1998 and features the two “throw-away” panels in the top tier. These are designed to be discarded, along with the logo, if newspaper editors want to dispense with the entire top third of the cartoon to save space. Not long afterward, I went to the standing bookends logo. Yes, I did it to save work. Absolutely. Check out the component stereo—and vinyl is making a comeback. Well, it appears the “comment” problems here are largely solved. I told many of you via Facebook yesterday that I would elaborate. Turns out it was a spam filter, what WordPress calls a “plug-in.” I know. The first thing WP tells you in the event of a problem is, Start disabling plug-ins. I did not do this sooner, because, frankly, this doesn’t usually work, just like Microsoft’s familiar option, “Would you like us to search for a solution to the problem?” Also, I have used this particular well-known spam filter for more than a decade, and it hummed along in the background, doing a very good job. Until recently. Now, I’ll have to manually weed out spam occasionally, but it sure beats having to manually approve every post and having everyone agitated all the time. As for the “signatures” on your posts, this seems still to have some issues. I suggest everyone fill in the information again, and we’ll see what happens.

Musings about the daily cartoon with the hot tub: I wouldn’t feel good about night time skinny dipping, if, indeed, that is what’s planned. Especially with lights on, who knows if any “low lifes” may be in the area with a camera or even a firearm. Certainly, visits or not, A&J don’t know all that much about the environs and inhabitants. Coverage would be my advice. In the daytime, with the chance of being able to spot putative intruders or to verify the absence thereof, such might be OK.
Janis’ point about what might be sharing the tub with them is still well-taken. I’d not want to share with, say, roaches, crawfish, gators nor almost anything not human!
I drink about 2 liters/day of various colas, mostly diet. The drinks don’t stay in contact with my teeth all that long. The acidic component – which may not exist as an actual acid! – is carbonic acid, which is very, very weak. In water, it exists as its component ions: H+, (HCO3)- [bicarbonate], and a little (CO3)= [carbonate]. Most seems to be carbon dioxide dissolved in water which is why those drinks fizz – the fizz consists of gaseous CO2 escaping the liquid.

Did you ever see what that stuff in the Red Can (and smiling Polar Bears) does to
meat & nails?
The active acid in Coca-Cola Classic is phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4). The average amount per can of coke works out to 17mg per 100 mL of Coca-Cola. This gives an acidity of only 0.017%. They claim less than a Lemon – but how many lemons do you suck on without a chaser. 🙂
2.5 Ph
Yep, I forgot – totally – the H3PO4. Reference I found cited it as only 10.6 mg/100ml, but that pH would still be under 3.
At least they hardly ever put lysergic acid in it anymoer.
Snakes.
Snakes love swimming pools. They probably get in hot tubs as well.
In the South pool boys skim out the snakes before opening the pool.
On the Gulf, they might even find an alligator in it. In Tennessee one year, we had frogs spawn in ours when we didn’t use it for a while during the spring. Opened up the top and it was full of tadpoles. We had a couple of those do it yourself ponds in the yard and relocated all we could catch into them.
Standing water will be full of mosquito larvae.

Back in the day when your car battery didn’t work you cleaned the points by pouring Coke on them. Always worked.
Why would one use a solution leaving a large sugary residue? I just used a wire brush and water. If an acid were desired, surely vinegar would serve and not leave any residue.
Because we usually discovered the battery didn’t work when we were out in remote country or a cotton field at midnight necking. We often had Cokes and NEVER drank water or carried it with us.
A wire brush? I have used a hair brush or rags.
last time a battery problem kept the truck from starting, the AAA guy used a wire brush and something undisclosed from a bottle kept specifically for the situation. Not sure what it was. Replaced the battery and one of the battery leads to resolve the problem.
I visited many blogs except the audio feature for audio
songs existing at this web site is truly fabulous.
Having read this I thought it was extremely enlightening.
I appreciate you spending some time and energy to put this information together.
I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both
reading and posting comments. But so what,
it was still worthwhile!
I have read so many posts on the topic of the
blogger lovers but this article is really a fastidious post, keep it
up.
I have to thank you for the efforts you have put in penning this site.
I’m hoping to view the same high-grade content by you later on as well.
In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my very own site
now 😉
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and without
a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy that I stumbled across this during my search
for something regarding this.
Usually I don’t read article on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very forced
me to check out and do it! Your writing style has been surprised me.
Thank you, quite great article.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be exactly
what I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content
in your case? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write concerning here.
Again, awesome web site!
Outstanding post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this
subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little
bit further. Cheers!
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward
for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it! asmr

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking
issue. I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
