The Green Mountain State

by Jimmy Johnson


Today’s oldie is from September, 2003. The road show continues. I’m somewhere in the Maine woods right now, but I’ll be in Burlington, Vermont, Saturday and Sunday for the Vermont Comic Con. The way it actually happened a few months back, I first signed up for the VCC. I read some nice things about it online, and Vermont in August sounded a lot more appealing than home in August. Then, I happened to discover that the Boston Comic Con would be two weeks earlier, so I figured I would do them both, as an experiment. As I’ve discussed briefly with you already, Boston was a qualified success. Vermont will be a different sort of venue, and I’ll give you a longer run down about it all after this weekend. Meanwhile, on with the show!
Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    Finally learned how to copy and post. This is my boat Stella Maris, my rescuing guardian angel Al who repaired and rebuilt the trailer and me smiling.

    Al is six foot four, he said he shrank an inch. I am the short blonde.

    Zebra pants? Don’t get near Lion Country Safari. I’m up with a headache. And a bottle-of Excedrin. Was going to meet my brother yesterday, but my sil called to tell me that he was sick. By last night I was too and went to bed at 9 pm. Will check out the Hurricane center and go back to bed.

    In ’95 we had two hurricanes in two months. Can south Louisiana get two tropical storms in less than a week?

    Good morning Villagers…

    Emb…that calico is absolutely beautiful, the eyes have it 🙂

    Smigz…thanks!!

    I too have been teary over this week’s arc. A little over a month ago, we lost Goldee, my forever kitty. She’s buried next to Bobbee, and Calee. I am now down to two cats…and my Snowee is 12 and she’s my baby, sleeps on my left every night. She and Buddee both sit with my in my recliner when I’m home….and deep down I know that those days will come. Thanks JJ for a heartfelt story this week. We all here love our babies.

    Going in at 5:30, was going to try and work after running errands and cashing paycheck. First think I did when I got into the packing room was check the temp…93 degrees. Call The Boss, talked with him, said we would come in at 5:30. He couldn’t stress enough how critical the count of hens in the cages is, so there’s some 75,000 plus cages to be looked and count…..arrrgghhh!!!

    Happy Caturday!!!!
