Every morning, I rummage through my digital files and find an old cartoon that doesn’t embarrass me, and I show it to you. What I choose from is a written directory of file names, which usually gives me a clue as to the topic of an old comic strip if not a direct mental image of a specific strip. This morning, I ran across a file tag that included the word “komikern.” I thought, “What th’ heck is ‘komikern?’ That doesn’t sound familiar!” Well, it was this oldie from 2006. This is what I was talking about the other day: the speed with which technology moves on. A decade ago, I was doing jokes based on the menu presented at the beginning of video DVDs, which seemed quirky and vaguely threatening at the time. Of course, kids understood it all innately. Today? DVDs? Kids? Fuhgidaboudit! Of course, it doesn’t help that by the time I am conversant enough in something new that I can draw a cartoon about it, that “something new” is already out the door.

Closer to home. Still professional argument / whether there is a resident breeding population in MN, but there have been confirmed trail camera and other sightings of adults, plus sign. One was photographed in a residential ‘hood in Mpls. 1-2 yr. ago.

Peace,
Jackie has laryngitis, strained vocal chords from whooping cough. My plastic surgeon said he was emergency room and put me on antibiotics and cough syrup. Sent me home to bed.
If it gets worse I will go get chest xray I had one last Thursday in emergency room and if was clear tben, my lungs and heart too, did EKG and CT scan.
Cancer is serious s#$× isn’t it?
It is, and you are in all of our thoughts and prayers. Peace,
Always optimistic I just ordered a sleigh load of garden seeds on the $1 a packet sale.
Lots of heirloom tomato seeds. Only Mark and Lora live owe enough to share plants. I love starting seeds and always give myself seeds for Christmas
That’s the problem with chemo. It is basically killing you, with the hope of killing the cancer faster. With good preventative care and quick intervention on problems (which you seem to be getting, Jackie) it usually does get the cancer without getting the patient. Keep on Truckin’!
Yes, the chemo killed my late husband. They just stopped it totally,, sent him home to die weighing about 120 pounds. He would not admit truth and convinced himself he was cured. He rehabilitated himself and told everyone he had beat cancer.
It spread of course and was terminal when he went back ninty days later.
My goal is to not get behind on chemo. I have one more of the really bad ones on January 2. Then three weeks later I begin weekly chemo.
Sideburns: 51F can feel either balmy or cold depending on the wind speed and where you’ve just been. Coming out of a walk-in freezer it’d be wonderful. Climbing into a rig sitting at a truck stop in Phoenix during August, with the AC on high, it’d be frigid.
My sister is a bc survivor, albeit after a mastectomy ca. 2000. She has suffered through 3 “bad diagnoses” and a few more scares. The latest was just a scare. She just today received confirmation that the suspicious area was totally OK, as was the rest of her chest area. That’s a nice Christmas present to receive. Thanks be to God.
I wish you similar good news in your future, JM.
Question for eMb, inspired by a current tv commercial:
When a cervid decides it needs to attack/defend with its feet, does it use the front of the hoof or the bottom of the hoof – or both? If I were to make the parallel to humans, is the cervid kicking as a human would kick a football extra point or as a human might step on unwanted bugs?
Does it vary with the type of cervid?
Oh Jackie, my heart and prayers are crying for you…please Dear God, make her well…the world needs more loving, sincere people like Jackie….Amen
Jackie….and a happy ever after from me to you 🙂

Cxp..that is good news to be inspired by….read that Jackie??
Jackie is plodding if not leaping along . I drank my Apple juice and forgot the antibiotics! More fluids please!
Just wrapped the gifts to our help and put big bows. It took Ghosts help on big ones. He hid some out in Bullet and should have hid all. Misti kept finding them where he’d put them and think they were .mine.
Today he said “Look at the color Misti, turquoise. They Re yours.”
I do use turquoise and aqua as an accent color but we are trying to inspire her to brighten her life and surrounding with color and joy. She loves peachy pinks and turquoise aqua shades, a big jump from grays, blacks and dull browns
.
Always told audiences that color comes for free with the product so why not use it?
Actually, the whole plant is just to heat this guy’s cup of coffee.

c x-p: I expect it’s with the point of the hooves.
Peace,
People? Must be out buying last minute presents. Just learned, via:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/clifford-irving-dead-howard-hughes-prankster-was-87-1069918
that the most [in]famous member of the Cornell class of ’51, Clifford Irving, has died of pancreatic ca. at 87. I’ve outlived him by a yr or so, but have had only 1 wife; his surviving widow is #5. I’m also less noted, but more honest, probably more reverent, and I think maybe happier. He may have been the better writer; have never read any of his stuff, and it’s not on my short list. I’m probably a stricter Strunkian. He grew up on the Upper West Side, I in the Village. Small world.
Peace,
Hippo adults and young.

Peace,
Jimmy, I know what Arlo means. Some statements always come in multiple parts. And at 6’5″, I’ve been called on a lot to reach things in high places.
Spotify played a song from this album and showed this cover art. Really interesting concept, having the dinosaurs in patterns from the great cats.
