OK, here is the last of the running sequence from 2010. This is really getting crazy: it seems I drew this yesterday, and you’re telling me it was seven years ago!? I figure I have drawn over 11,500 A&J strips since I began. It’s strictly an educated guess, but I would say I am proud of 10% of them, embarrassed by 20% and ambivalent about the remaining 70%.

Ghost, give me your favorites. My friend ran on states computer all the variants already taken. She came up with Black Jac without the k as best variant left untalented.
Give me your first, second, third choices and she’ll run them for me Monday. I can’t apply for permanent tag until title or whatever comes from dealer.
Do wish I had you here to teach me to drive Jack or at least operate the bells and whistles on dash. It has been too long since I drove a car this small, just trucks and vans, SUVs.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Jack, just need skills and instructions. I am sitting outside Barnes and Noble working on getting heat to work. Dickens is cold.
Just accidently discovered how to drop seats back from front into back seats. That was a surprise! So, do people bother to make out in cars like we did or do they just go check in somewhere?
Untaken not what Hal said.
This car has a huge trunk. That surprised me.
Drives beautifully even if I can’t and is quieter than the Honda with almost no road noise.
Jackie, for right now, use AUTO button and adjust temperature. You may also use the heated seats. Dickens will love those.

Don’t feel too bad. A friend with a 2013 Explorer told me she drove it the first winter she owned it without heat, because she couldn’t figure out how to turn it on.
Jackie: When all else fails read the owner’s manual,:-)

I miss Gene Wilder and Alex Karras.
How do you keep Bullet clean? I need a chamis so I can wipe down. Dirt shows.
Jackie:
That is the problem with a black car (Bathroom too)
you need a full-time person to keep it clean – known in the old days
as a chauffeur. (or maid)
Black keeps coming back as a fixture color for bathrooms and is generally
short-lived because it spots so easily.
Ummmnh huh, that is what car salesmen get trained to do too. You kept a damp chamois and learned how to use one. But yes, the finish is beautiful but picks up everything but money.
I had chocolate brown bathroom in one house. Dark brown was not much better.
Made some progress on learning stuff on car. Love the Navigation system but I have hardly learned how to use yet. I drove Trigger for a year and dealer never got it turned on. Or much of anything else.
This one has Sirius setup and I was delighted just now to find Pandora is programed too. Turned on Sirius first time and Elvis coming from speakers was taking me back via Twilight Zone but with way better speakers!
Last time I drove a convertible Waylon was one of the outlaws I blasted onto the freeways, so I hit Waylon on Pandora and this came growling out. Totally appropriate. Click on it.

I am having a ball with a grass roots campaign to bring back non-political posts to Facebook. If you are on the Book of Faces as Ghost calls it, join me and have some fun. Be creative.
Worse that can happen is we ease some frayed nerves about to snap.
Jackie, at least you have minions to help keep Black jack black. You might consider a car cover for use when it’s stabled.
Headed to Big City for a meeting today. Should be back by late PM. Everyone have a shiny day today.
Today’s TIP BlogSpot. The painting is J. answering the trick q., ‘Should we pay taxes to Caesar?’ ‘Render unto C…’ and all that. Sharp guy. Would have done well in vaudeville. Worked for George and Gracie.
Peace,
Jimmy! You are much to hard on yourself! Maybe you should do some sort of daily poll, to get instant feedback on what your fans think of your efforts. I’m sure we would mark on a curve! 🙂
That would probably be to much pressure on you, so how about you randomly pick works for your past and have us vote?
Love your work! dave
I get the joke about Ludwig today. Question, do cones work on cats?
Good morning all. Dickens says it is too early. He is curled up behind or under me snoring.
Ghost, my minions cleaned out Boat Palace and turned what used to be boat building space into a climate controlled stable. They are so good to me.
Glen my deputy owned a car detailing service in past. If he were still here Jack would stay immaculate. He’d probably loved doing beauty work. Miss him.
There is a manual car wash down road with a spray wash. I will put him through today and get a chamois to wet and wipe Jack down.
Jackie, Ford vehicles tend to have large trunks, one of the reasons I love them. I refer to trunk capacity as “two body,” “three body, ” etc. Jokingly, of course.
That is hilarious Smigz. When I sold Lincolns and Grand Marquis people would ask how big the trunk was and I’d say it could hold eight traveling salesmen in town for a convention, twelve if they had already passedan out.
I varied that joke depending on who asked at times.
Passed out. I think Hal is smoking something.
This is worth reading again:

Speaking of running, I was watching a video of my son’s 1st birthday 33 years ago and it is amazing how much he looks and acts like his own 1 year old son. Dan was an early walker and was quite mobile. One of the scenes in the video is him running up and down the length of the couch to the song “Ain’t nothin’ gonna break-a my stride”. He would later run in the State Finals in the 800 and 1600 and then ran the Boston Marathon. He was really running well this winter when suddenly he developed tendinitis. He is pretty down, but I told him just a few weeks off shouldn’t end his plan to run Boston this year. Just have to wait and see if he heals. He has started running marathons in the last 3 years and this is his first injury. He is very lucky.
I posted his one year old self on YouTube, but I hesitate to share it here. I’m not sure how he feels about it.
Have not been here before, but this GHO is disguised as an adult Bald Eagle.

Now back to read posts above. Peace,
Eating at Pei Wei and had spinach dumpling soup, fired green beans and a Vietnamese salad. Salad wasn’t great but the fortune cookie was.
“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.”
I might wake up early and go running.
I also might wake up and win the Lottery.
The odds are about the same.
Jackie, that fortune cookie even works with the two traditional extra words, “in bed.”
