I’m running a little late this morning. I have some things I’m doing and some things I should be doing, but I’ve been on a bit of a roll lately, with two consecutive posts. So, I thought I’d drop by another old A&J strip from 10 years ago. By the way, over at the Universal Uclick Web site Gocomics, A&J just surpassed 60,000 subscribers. That’s not bad! Thanks to all.

Chickens…aren’t they miniature dinosaur descendants?
Are you suggesting I remember their ancestors Ghost? I am thinking of the Ducks for out on the patio with the ponds and fountains, for pets.
I had pet ducks when I was little girl, a log truck ran over flock, then later as a tween and last time in my showroom in the design Center in Houston. We’d let them swim in fountains but they got too big and we had to put them out in pond and cars hit them, they weren’t street smart.
I know, how makes pets of fowl?
If I remember my HS Latin teacher correctly, geese were used very effectively as alarm-givers in ancient Rome and for who knows how long before that time. Apparently, they do not like strangers and really raise a rumpus if one appears. It would not surprise me to hear that they attack, as well.
Debbe 😉 It’s surprising how much I have learned over the years by saying nothing at all.

Good morning Villagers…..
And yes I did go MIA yesterday GR 😉 ……deep into my recliner.
I see Sandcastler is back….welcome back Sand.
Mark, thanks for that tidbit of info….I always loved Donald Duck, especially the escapades with the chipmunks. I’d like to find that video of the Christmas where the chipmunks are stealing from Donald, and he gets hit in the head….it was the first time I’d ever seen teeth on Donald, I remember laughing so hard at that scene. Oh, the simple things that can make one laugh.
Taxes are ready to be picked up…..and I am livid. We owe!! Why? The Obumacare subsidy on the health insurance is taxed as an income!!! I keep thinking about what Pelosi said “we have to pass this so we can know what’s in it”! The irony in this whole health insurance plan, I think I’m going to call The Market Place and give them a piece of my mind.
Looking forward to going back to “the best little hen house in Indiana”. Husband says when I retire he is going to convert the white shack into a hen house for me so I can have chickens. We’ll see, may not want that, as I plan to continue working for a few more years.
Ya’ll have a peaceful extra day in February.
GR 😉 by the time I hang up with The Marketplace, I will be known as…..

Today is my late grandmother-in-law’s birthday. She was born in 1896 and did not have a “real” birthday until 1904. She passed in 1999.
Rick: At only 24. So sorry. It is also “Young Frederick’s” 39th, the same age as Jack Benny. He was to reach 21 in 1940. And Rossini: 50-something as announced just now on MPR.
Here’s a windblown tortie. Cannot tell if she’s been ‘fixed’.

Hi ya Debbe!
Sadie Hawkins day. Jimmy gave us a toon and Google a doodle.
Happy Leap Day, 2016.
Other than above, I haven’t heard any comments in recent years about people born on February 29th (but perhaps that’s just because I don’t get out much anymore). When I was in grade school, a real knee-slapper was to have a 12-year-old happily proclaim on the 29th that it was his or her third birthday. (Obviously, we simple country folk were easily amused.)
So, any “teenage” Villagers celebrating a birthday today?
GHO nest in Savannah. Funny, she doesn’t look Southern. Anyway, it’s the female, because in GHOs, she does all the incubating and brooding, he gets all the food. Obviously has a Norway rat and something else now. Owlets have already hatched, got a peek at one when the wind blew mom’s feathers aside. Looks like a cozy, safe haven.

Reminds me: Yes, c x-p, Canadas [and probably other geese, incl. barnyard] do attack. Fortunately, I backed off in time. Peace,
Where are we reading A and J? Gocomics has been down several days and won’t link. Anywhere else?
Good morning. I think I can move today.
Jackie [or really anon.]: 1. Just above the tee ad atop this page. 2. It’s been coming in fine on my GoComics site. Peace,
Rick:
I think that you are saying that 1900 did not have a leap year. All years starting with “00” did not have a leap year except 2000. I forget what other “00” years did have a leap year.
Now that is weird! I clicked above by the tee shirts and got to read my A and J for last five days. Thank you emb.
I clicked on the one to left and it says site is being remodeled, how about playing a game on their sister site. So, I have an infected link on the small print to left? Believe me, I don’t play games.
Read mix of chicken information, cartoon anthologies and fell asleep but did a lot of leg stretches. Not nearly as much pain today. Something helped.
Steve From Royal Oak, MI: The rule for leap years (this is how the Gregorian calendar fixes the Julian) requires century years to be evenly divisible by 400.
Jackie, the one on the left that you clicked is to order the A & J Book. I just now clicked on it and it will direct you the Amazon, etc.
No. The one on FAR LEFT that is in small print over on the one that lists months too. It just says Cartoons and below that says Today’s A and J.
Wut?
Oh, OK. You are scrolling down to click on the small script that reads “Today’s A&J” instead of staying at the top and clicking on the large box that reads “Click to read Today’s A&J”. Never bothered to do that, but I just did and it took me right to A&J on GoComics, just like the large box always does. No idea why it would send you elsewhere.
GR6 – had a friend in HS who was born on Leap Day. He’ll be celebrating birthday #15 today. w/r/t today’s A&J – wonderful grilling weather in western PA yesterday (tough it’ll be somewhat colder today). The steaks were very tasty.
I just read that Abe Vigoda’s name was not mentioned during the Oscar award show’s “In Memoriam” segment last night. I can just hear him joking, “They must have thought I died years ago.”
After several warm [= above 32F] days, it’s winter here again, and windy. About 1″ new snow last night, + wind. Minus two digits tonight. Minor drifts + some sculpting of earlier snow. Rather pretty. I’d be happy w/ no more snow ’til next fall. But I’d not wager a nickel on that. Nap time. Peace,
