Late fall is beginning to arrive around here. After several days of blustery wind and rain, bright blue skies and seasonably cool temperatures finally have arrived. I’ll be driving again today, and it’s looking like conditions will be excellent. In my opinion, we’re due for a milder winter; the past three have been harsh by our admittedly low standard. I guess that’s about all the news around here. Be sure to come back soon!

Mark: Thanks for mentioning that – I thought it was just me.
Link to gocomics.com was never there on current blog. It’s on previous blog entry, if you go back. Don’t know if the photo blocked it or if it just got lost in the shuffle.
Jimmy, your creative genius shines through again, by the use of one word ‘Tees’ with the picture. This is why we love you and your humor. 🙂

First, it was OMG tees. Now it is OMG the daily link has vanished.
Think GR6 has it right, lost in the shuffle.
I was joking about braless groupies wanting tee shirts signed while being worn (sort of…I actually consider bralessness a serious matter), but I do wonder if there would be any demand for shirts personally signed by Mr. Johnson, Ã la Beaucoup Arlo & Janis, the book. And if so, would that be something that Mr. Johnson might consider.
Of course, not having seen the design of the shirt in detail, I suppose it’s possible that an autograph might be incorporated as part of said design.
If aforementioned tee shirts do come in an autographed version, will they include a certificate of authenticity? Think framing of one like a sports jersey. A framed tee, along with other authentic A&J items would make a nice addition to the shrine. I can see the faithful donning their tees. Going to the A&J shrine for a daily reading from Beaucoup Arlo & Janis.
I believe this story will resonate louder here. The body may be broken, but the spirit is whole. A talented gentleman.

Great story, Mindy. And we complain about our little problems…
Debbe 😉 Chick music…good chick music.

Good morning Villagers….
Oh my cat (borrowed from BCN), it’s going to be 20 degrees tonight, and I’m not going to work, lalalalalllalala 🙂 No warming the car up.
But the high will be 40. Dad has a small room in his garage and that’s where he’ll be putting the cats while I set off 4 Raid bombs. I’m glad I called him last night, as I told my younger sister to call the vet and have him sell dad two additional Frontline tubes that you put on cats in-between their shoulders….he was going to put them on the kitten that the vet had just treated!
While the fogging is taking place, we’ll be at my other sister’s home…..talking. I pray he listens. He’ll be 84 on December 10th, and the only way he will leave his house will be head first.
On a much brighter note, Andrew and I spent over $300 at $ General yesterday afternoon….hen house supplies, and of course the Raid bomb accidentally got scanned 🙂 It’s much better this way, we do the shopping once every 6 weeks instead of every two. I really don’t enjoy it. Packing it in and all.
Glad so many of you can identify with the lolcat pic…that’s funny
Indy Mindy, will check out link tomorrow, when I have more time….Gal’s comment has peeked my interest…..
and a happy Caterday to all
GR 😉 out of 14 million some people, I am the only one who has not heard of Wilson Phillips…and I liked it, read the words to the song….reminds me of Andrew and Rachael, who are still, sort of together, but not living together…..and she is pregnant with his son…..
Here’s another one for them too

At 0611, it’s 14F here, pred. hi 22F. Ground covered w/ 1″, but strong winds yielded drifts, so they had to plow. So? It’s late Nov.
Hope W will be drivable, or I’ll miss TG w/ my older son.
Peace, emb
Debbe 😉 In case you missed the back-story: “Wilson Phillips is an American vocal group consisting of Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips, the daughters, respectively, of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and of John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas.” – Wikipedia
Ironically, day before yesterday, I saw a new Geico commercial that is described as: “On this sunny day, Carnie Wilson stands on her driveway dealing with a tree that just fell on top of her car. As she is told to hold on during her phone call and starts to hear “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips play, Flo turns up from out of nowhere to give Carnie some advice… mostly in the form of lyrics to the song. Flo then proceeds to explain how Progressive’s mobile app can make everything easier, so she won’t have to be locked up in these chains.

Thanks Mindy. I’ll try not to complain about my typing, for awhile. Debbe, your link led me to a sidebar about music for cats. It was interesting because our cats have always liked music as well as watching tv.
Someone doesn’t know about Wilson Phillips?
GR6, thanks for educating her, can’t have our villisge residents looking like idiots. Heaven forbid that we should appear to be old and cloistered.
Have you done yours yet today?

I know you don’t do facebook, Ghost, but your “brave thing” cartoon is now there! Don’t worry… I didn’t say where I got it!
Most of you probably know. In case some don’t, polar bears are Arctic, penguins Antarctic [some get up into S. Temp zone]. Also, bears run lots faster than penguins.
Some time, maybe in the Miocene or Pliocene, there was a giant flightless auk the size of an Emperor Penguin or larger.
Peace, emb
“a Northern Hemisphere giant flightless auk the size of an Emperor Penguin or larger.” BTW, I’d never heard of Wilson Phillips. emb
Actually, I believe it was the presence of the tiny cymbals that called into question the authenticity of the photograph. 🙂
Fun fact, Loon is a great fan of Rock Hopper penguins.
