Obviously, summer hours have gone into effect here. However, the door is open, and the lights are one. Help yourself to whatever’s in the fridge. You long-time visitors take care of the newcomers. By the way, today’s classic strip is from way back in 1993 and probably was born from the frustrations of being a humorist, especially an oblique one.

Enjoy pure Canadian maple syrup on your pancakes today, honor Canada’s 150th.
You see, this is why I cannot take fashion designers, or most fashion shows, seriously.

Note to Self:
Never sit down to lunch and catch up on the computer when Ghost is posting strange fashion photos. And go get something to clean the laptop with if you do.
Ghost, how very … refreshing?
I have the feeling that somewhere ‘backstage’ there is a confused assistant holding trousers, head spinning in circles, frantically, in a hot whisper, “he was right here a second ago!”
insert ‘the’, or ‘the matching’, twixt holding and trousers

Clothing for someone who believes xe or xhe should have the right to self-identify xis or xer gender, but still cannot make up xis or xer mind?
My turn to make Ghost smile, whether he likes harp music or not!

I think the model’s expression says it all.
I admit I do love a man in a kilt, but that ain’t it.
If I wore that outfit, either here or back home, I’d be afraid I might get “kilt”.
I saw my first example of “open carry” in OK in a big box store last week, an older gentleman with a handlebar mustache in starched jeans and Western shirt; cowboy boots and hat; and a Ruger Single Six in a crossdraw holster. Let’s just say he projected an image that was not Skirt Boy.
Ghost, it never even occurred to me that the model was wearing a kilt; it simply looked like a short skirt. (Yes, I know that a kilt is a form of short skirt, but it doesn’t normally look like one. Maybe if he’d been wearing a sporran instead of carrying that bag.) What really got me, though, is the way the shirt tail was hanging out below, and the fact that the sleeves on the jacket were way too short. It’s bad enough that the designer thought this was a Good Idea, he/she couldn’t even get the details right. I can just imagine what Tim Gunn would have said if a contestant tried this on Project Runway, aside from, “Well, make it work.”
How absolutely tidy of the elderly gentleman to attire his handlebar moustache so neatly!

Adblock Plus is indeed a great program, and I, too, have used it for years. Fortunately, it has not caused any problems with my computers.
Bill Blinn of http://www.TechByter.com recently recommended a tracking blocker called Ghostery.
(Here is the second part.)
It’s also a great program, and my browser is considerably faster because of it.
The URL is https://www.ghostery.com/.
I’d looked better!!!!

And I did have a kilt…with a big gold safety pen that was worn in the front….
Rick, I use Addblock+, Ghostery and Privacy Badger on my copy of Firefox, all of them downloaded and installed, all through Mozilla’s add-on site at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ I’ve never seen any of them slow down or crash my browser.
Did someone mention music sometime back????

love this song…the harmony
Nice pick on the jukebox, Debbe. Thanks.

I prefer Chrome myself, although I do keep Firefox on my computer, too. I use Xmarks to sync my bookmarks, and I am then able to use Firefox as my sync to my work computer’s bookmarks. On the days that I can’t report to the office, I can still work a good deal.
Thanks for the tip about Privacy Badger. I’ll look into it tomorrow.
Debbe, the above mentioned items being discussed are browser extensions. They are designed with advertisement blocking, and, or privacy concerns in mind. They are useful, if those are areas you are concerned with.
But they are not replacements for your Kaspersky Internet Security, or the Windows Defender package included in your system that it replaces. These are designed to protect the system from known hazards. And are continually developed against new exploits. They protect much more than your browsing experience.
I hope you continue to have good service from your system.
