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, you’re right about things in the road. Talk station in Birmingham, AL had debris warnings as part of the recurring traffic reports during rush hour. When I was out Saturday, I saw a number of people busy cleaning up several rolls of hay that had escaped at a busy intersection. While some had broken up, one whole one had rolled up on the curb only to be stopped by a light standard.
Very glad Jackie is ok.
Switched cars to get hair done and on way to gym. Bless the roads in Oklahoma. Some of our pot holes might swallow Black Jack.
I am running a.C. it is so hot here. I want top down!
Be a while before I need AC. Peace,
I hear some states are considering banning those round bales of hay. Reason: Livestock can’t get a square meal out of them.
Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week. Be sure and try the veal and drive carefully when you leave.
AccuGusser shows it’s 66 in Jackie’s neighborhood. I’m a good ways south of there and it’s 60 here.
Black Jack says it is 71 outside RIGHT now. It is hot. The gym has heat on! I am soaking wet with sweat and had to blow dry my just coifed hair.
Wish I could put top down. Going home and get in tub at once.
Our weather here is in a rut. It’s supposed to drop from the current 44° to 38°, with a mix of rain and snow tonight. High tomorrow to reach 44° again, with more rain and snow. More of the same on Wednesday, though the high might go 1° higher.

That is Russia Iron on # 9’s boiler for those in the know.
Ghost: You left out “and don’t forget to tip your server.”
Yep, R.A., I stand corrected.
Old Bear, I’d like to ride behind this one! That whistle gives me chills.

Finally got in tub with my wine bottle and glass, managed to slip at last minute and do an inelegant entry that Jimmy can use next month if he’d like for Janis. I will send video.
(Just kidding about video but I can describe it better)
That is a beautiful deep tone isn’t it?!
This is not as deep but just as sweet-

Is this what they show on ‘reality TV’?

Peace,
More like what they post on social media.
Speaking of social media, I ended up having an incredible birthday for a senior citizen. Thanks to social media.
My friends are still wishing me happy birthday from all over the world and sending messages they miss me, Dickens and our travels and adventures. Early this morning friends in Australia and India were checking to make sure things were OK.
Thank you all my friends. On my way to visit friends at the Oklahoma tag office, the expensive good tires store, the feed store, post office and grocery store and hopefully the gym.
Looked at my hair. Hope I can fix it myself. Don’t tell me climate change isn’t happening. It was in 70s at midnight here!
Oh, my employees are giving me a surprise party with hamburgers, hot dogs, beer and birthday cake. And their bar band that will play
In my back yard. I am doing ok.
Happy birthday, Jackie! I hope the the year ahead brings you all the happiness your heart can hold!
I guess some people don’t have to go to parties…the parties come to them. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Jackie.
Jackie: Happy birthday. Speaking of birthdays, the painting of the almost 9-month pregnant artist in her birthday suit is a self-portrait, by an art prof. from back East, Katy Schneider. Sounds like a good teacher.

Peace,
Wearing my own birthday suit trying to exercise and drenched. It is so hot here. I will fight anyone who denies climate change! I.need a shower.
