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.

It is storming here like crazy and moving east rapidly. Well, that three beds of cabbages mainly should have no need for watet.
Good morning Villagers…
…and it’s coming our way, rain, thunderstorms and wind. Glad I did my running yesterday. Went to $ General and spent Boss’s money on cleaning supplies. And I saved the best for last….picked up tax papers…. arrrgghhhhh!!!!!
You guys have to read the first 4 post on TDS….they’re pretty funny.
emb, almost posted that lol pic, but there’s something about that red dot that drives cats wild.
Been trying to open my email now for three days…it takes forever to download. My email is through my ISP. I now call it my ‘snail email’.
The Corp is coming in today. They are going to start weighing eggs again.
And if March comes in like a lion, will it go out like a lamb? Inquiring minds want to know 🙂
Loved the movie “Cool Hand Luke”…..’I’m shaking it boss, I’m shaking it’ And yes, George Kennedy was good.

My post just went into moderation because of links I included.
I’ll try this method.
This morning on RT.com, I read that NASA is seeking a quiet supersonic x-plane for commercial travel.
Here’s the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8r-Pm1-dVc
GR 🙂 but I did hear about the older Mick Jagger got the more he looked like Barney Fife!
Rick in Shermantown, Oh. One link per post or it goes to the Twilight Zone.
Debbe, that is the universal spot. One can tell the cat people on any crowd, they know the spot.
The daily offering is our house, just in reverse.
Ruth Ann, it is Facebook. Some feature, like an auto-refresh perhaps? Enough to make one close the site. 🙂
Storms ended here. I hope the rest of you are safe today. I hate that our tornado season has begun so early.
Have a plan if you are under warnings today and let us know you are safe so we don’t worry and wonder. Love.
Just read that today is Saint David Day. Davy is the patron saint of Wales, where they party down with the symbolic veggie, the leek. Today would be an excellent chance to fix leek soup, bake bread, and hold your own Davy Day celebration.
Unless Walmart has some leeks in the produce department I am in trouble. I was thinking of cooking asparagus quinoa chicken soup with garlic lemon broth but leeks would be a good addition to that.
No recipe anyway, I make it up as I go.
Is there a patron saint of asparagus?
Maybe this guy:

You just don’t like slimy asparagus Mark. You would like mine which is crunchy, crisp and undercooked, like most of vegs I cook. I was expecting a green gargoyle covered in green molds!
Mark, that guy is less a saint and more a corporate farming shill.
Saint Fiacre of Breuil is the patron of those who grow vegetables and medicinal plants, and of gardening in general. That’s probably as close to a patron saint of asparagus as you’ll get.
Interesting (if less appetizing) factoid: St Fiacre was also known for healing hemorrhoids and is the patron of venereal disease sufferers.
Ghost, I am ALWAYS amazed at your broad knowledge (that is an unintentional pun) when is St. Fiacres saint day? I will pray for my vegetable crops and order a statue for the garden. I have a Saint Francis right now.
Saint Joachim (Jackquline ) was his helper and is shown with a lamb usually. I could get one of each.
Mark I almost said the Jolly Green Giant is a green incarnation of the devil himself according to many of my “green” and organic friends. To them he represents evil agriculture. I bit my tongue there.
There is a DNA controlled aversion to brocolli and other crops from same family, so Our president really DIDN’T like brocolli. I wonder how many here dislike certain vegetables and won’t eat?
Opin ions on aversion to vegs much more interesting than politics right now!
St. Fiacre has a shovel and a basket if herbs. Sometimes a bird or a rabbit. Interesting. Easily ordered too, lots of choices. I could put him in a big pot of herbs. He’d like that.
“I will pray for my vegetable crops and order a statue for the garden. I have a Saint Francis right now.”
Or, you could just rename the statue you have. / various citations in the Hebrew Bible, it shouldn’t make any difference.
I have some Jewish friends who, I think, buried a statue of St. Joseph [] upside down in the yard of the house they wanted to sell [or maybe they just thought of doing it]. The house sold. Don’t know how the real estate gods knew it was a statue of the real St. Joseph [and expect the house would have sold anyway]. Works about as well as the astrology of a few days ago. In the Hebrew Bible, casting a horoscope was a capital offense. Peace,
Yes, my Catholic daughter and SIL buried St. Joseph upside down to sell.their house. I think the discomfort is supposed to make him notice your supplications faster? If house sells you have to go unsure him and get him cleaned up and display him to show gratitude. They had to sneak back to old house after it finally sold to dig him up when new owners were gone.
Of course they ended up being upside down as well.
The Feast Day for St. Fiacre is September 1st.
My only vegetable aversion is to beets. I have heard them described as having an “earthy” flavor, which seems about right, as to me they taste the way dirt smells.
Thank goodness, I am very fond of broccoli. My only disliked veggie is cilantro — I just detest it and won’t eat it; or cumin either. Could they be related biologically? I may look it up (Lord knows I have lots of books about plants) and there’s always the Internet.
Oh, I meant to say, none of our seven children share my dislike of cilantro, but I ought to ask them to make sure. Because of the genetic factor.
This came over the transom from Amazon, as something they apparently thought might interest me. Sorry, Mr. Bezos, that’s a bit too fey for my tastes.

Broccoli, I would honestly starve first.
About St. Joseph: Many years ago, there was a bit in Reader’s Digest about a family attempting the “bury the saint for a sale” routine, but couldn’t find the definitive orientation for him. After trying every way they could think of, they shipped the defective saint to the landfill. The landfill sold shortly thereafter. 🙂
Someone please remind me why I like my job. This is worse than the December fiasco. Despite finding $433.00 in shortages, I am STILL -$247(and change) for the month!!! There is foul play afoot, and I am saddened to say I actually thought the culprit was an decent person. Curses.
