I haven’t done this in a while, but today’s “comic strip” is a mash-up of panels from daily strips that will appear next week, a preview of cartoons beginning March 6. I know: it makes no sense really, but don’t you hate it when you sit through a three-minute movie preview and feel as if you know exactly what’s going to happen in the two-hour version? And when did “previews” become “trailers?” Have you ever sat in a theater and been invited to view “Trailers of Coming Attractions?” Somehow, I blame Turner Classic Movies for this. I believe TCM introduced me to the Hollywood term “trailer.” Now, the film and video landscape is littered with trailers.

Old Bear was that the turbo Monza? I would love to have one of those restored properly. Saw a convertible turbo Monza Spyder some years ago in Texas and plain didn’t have the money to pull off the buy. Yes just like the VW bugs, keep the tires inflated right to keep them right side up in hard turns.
This historic plantation home didn’t come with its own ghosts, so no haunting here. Dickens is curled up against footboard on a feather pillow embroidered in fleur-de-lis de list.
Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon, cottage potatoes, blueberry muffin, French bread toast, fig lemon jam, orange juice and fruit compote with yogurt.
I had diet coke.
Ignore Hal.
It sounds beautiful, Jackie! Most of my vacations seem to involve jeans, mud, and bugs. 😉
Llee 🙂 I’m fine, dear. Reading but haven’t had much time to post. Hope you are having a shiny day.
Great news, Lady Mindy. Was long ago convinced your job would not have been worth it even if you were being given hazardous-duty pay, which I’m sure you were not. Keep calm and bacon on.
It must be spring- dandelions are blooming! 🙂 I made it out to the store today (finally). Birds are very happy with newly filled feeders. THey are fun….
Peregrines don’t really build a nest, and this adult was just sitting there. However, it moved, and there was no egg under it. If you like, put this link in your browser.

Peace,
Beautiful sunny day in Franklin, Louisiana. Took a nap most of day. My favorite kind of vacation. No where to go and entire day to not do it.
Could stay here forever.
It is nice to Symply come back and know Fargone things are closer than one knows…..
I thank those of you who have friended me on FB for bringing me back here more often. That would be you Jackie and Charlotte(this time)
Had missed Midy of Indy’s intrigue but am glad things got sorted out.
Seems the village still “abides” as our friend the son of Seahunt said.
Oh yeah JJ if your strip tomorrow is about Fargone trees Symply being blown over on to a pool, I am going to be mighty curious where you got the story line!
“AG Sessions did not lie, but it wasn’t intentional.” “I never met with any Russian officials and I don’t remember what we talked about.”
Politics, even if I concur. Peace,
Hippos are back.

1″ snow for tomorrow night – other day Cities had enough to cover the ground
(gone now) we only a dusting

Yes it was – with a 4 speed. It was a car that had to be driven, no slacking
or short cuts. You had to watch the Tach. & the Vacuum gauge.
The situation is fast becoming too serious for discussion here. Do I hear a sigh of relief?
The folks that decried Russophobia during the Cold War seems to be suffering from it today.
There, that’s my political observation for the month.
Jerry, you may sigh now that I’ve got it out of my system.
TruckerRon:
I just added your blog to my list of sites to check daily.
Stereotype time:
Was curious about the history of ‘Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,’ a patriotic song than I learned in 1940 or so, so went online. Found out stuff, including a Wiki note that mentioned ‘Columbia’ as a female personification of the USA, comparable to France’s ‘Marianne’ and Britain’s ‘Britannia.’ Went to those sites, both of which are illustrated with sculptures. The Marianne sculpture has pokies. This is about art, not politics.

Listening to Joe Crocker while lying in high ceiling bedroom on feather pillows. Pretty decadent.
Having Eggs Benedict at 10.30 for brunch. Get to set times to eat. We are only guests. Really awesome. Better than Disney for sure.
Politics: At the appropriate place and time I voted!
Hi Ghost Sweetie!!
Jimmy, outwardly, Arlo knows his wine; inwardly, his wife.
Hi, Jean dear!
Li’l Smigz: Almost word-for-word my thoughts when I saw today’s cartoon. Great minds…
Speaking of pokies (and aren’t we always), I recently was fortunate enough to to complete the “Pokie Hat Trick”. This was due to (1) a well-endowed lady wearing a fancy t-shirt, sans brassiere; (2) having the opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with her, to obtain the full effect of the resulting pokies; and (3) her welcomed decision to “flash” me a bit later, thereby revealing the underlying cause of her pokie display. And yes, alcohol was involved.
And that was me, of course. What I get for using a tablet to post.
And I’ll bet they were more than a handful.
Here’s another peregrine site, in my [and many of your] time zone:

Even though it’s out in the country [in extreme SE MN], I’m not sure it’s any more scenic than downtown Baltimore. Peregrines have no taste.
Peace,
