The Cat Takes the Mouse

By Jimmy Johnson

Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"
Here’s a cat cartoon from 1996. I’m sorry I missed posting yesterday, but I was driving. I hope you will excuse me: the purpose of my trip is to be at the print shop when the first A&J tee shirts start rolling off the heater this afternoon. There’s a lot happening right now! I’ll tell you a lot more about it all very soon.

    Dear emb, that is one nifty Web site! It was a surprise to hear the voice, pronouncing the word (three different ways) but is very helpful.

    Just thinking about who some of our previous nominated oddities were. Spuds McKenzie anyone?

    Freddy is Mike Rowes dog. Mike Rowe is Dirty Jobs, pickup flogger and writer of great blogs and commentary. Freddy is running for president and Mike as vp. Supposedly half a million people have written into his blog, sponsors and television show urging him to run. Mike declined but Freddy told him he liked running so he accepted. I am a Mike Rowe fan, along with several other Villagers. I am ready for bed, spent afternoon ordering doors and moldings to repair breezeway. Things are surfacing from the chaos and warehouses, storage.

    Opening boxes where your past is shoved into bins and boxes and a lid closed on the mess is like opening Pandoras box. Confronting what comes out is rather like the anxiety closet in Bloom County.

    My cat scarf was a huge hit at beauty shop and Lowes.

    Good morning Villagers….

    OK, now I know who you all are talking about…..Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” ……he can come to my chicken house for a coup any day πŸ™‚

    Husband had the news on, switching from news source to other news source….I asked him, how much more are you going to go on like this…..channeled surfed to TCM and watched a classic with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando….very different movie, Taylor was her usual sultry self, and Brando, I never thought much of him as ‘good’ actor…the name of the movie “Reflections in a Golden Eye”.

    Weill almost, I said almost, Carhart weather this weekend….nite time lows….low 20’s.

    Dad weasled out on me yesterday…he was tired. He goes out on Wednesdays and has breakfast with his friends and the trip to Mississippi, well yes I can understand him being tired. I will tread on this softly, reminding him he has four lovely daughters to keep living for.

    Jerry, I thought that was you at the bakery yesterday πŸ™‚

    Steve, your story was funny….our furry friends can be very entertaining.

    Have a blessed day, ya’ll

    because they broke the mold with me!

    Jackie brought up the movie yesterday when talking about Sheen, I’d forgot it was his brother Emelio (?) that was in it, but I did have a fondness for the bad boy Judd in the movie.

    Glad you made it home safe.
