What th’ heck! Let’s have a Halloween cartoon on the first full day of summer. This one has run on this site before, but it was handy, and I am away from my desk today and tomorrow. If it makes you feel any better, I’m on cartoon business. I am not being coy with you, but we will turn back to The Project and Kickstarter toward the end of the week. Behind the scenes, work continues in that direction, and I think things will go live before the week is out. And I did say earlier, “Next week,” didn’t I?

Along with many others, we’re sweating out possible tornadoes, derechos, and/or big hail for the next 6 hours.
Add all of us to your prayer list, kindly.
It is hotter than Hades in Missouri. I have my new but unpainted boat in tow, sitting out in front of motel while I wait for my spinach salad to go. I am hoping take out moves along. Who goes to a sports bar for a salad?
Had a wonderful afternoon with Lora or Llee who is the sweetest person. I loved her, Dickens loved her. We went to a real vintage diner where I had healthy vegetarian ciabatta with a cup of soup. Then we went to the awesome gallery where she shows her work. I could have hung anything there and loved it. Ended up with a big pair of ducks for my kitchen bathroom. I needed a new painting for the larger space and I love this one.
Basically I had a great day and loved Carthage.
“…kitchen bathroom.”
That’s something you don’t hear every day. Or at least, I don’t.
Sending hopeful wishes to c x-p and people who are sweating out stormy weather! May you escape any bad stuff. Jackie, loved reading about your visit to Missouri. Great that you got a nice painting and got to meet Llee. Have a safe trip home.
Ghost, a half bath, adjacent to the kitchen. My grandmother’s old house had a den/dining room added to it, and she had a half bath put next to the dining area. Pink tile walls, pink counter top, pink toilet seat. The height of early 1960’s fashion. Jackie’s is much better decorated.
Here’s a real nerd’s Nerf gun!

If that is the full description thereof, we had a kitchen bathroom in the duplex we rented somewhat more than 30 years ago. It was, then, a fairly recent structure – not an antique.
My area has escaped the nasty weather until something more blows up, but there are still millions under the gun more to the south & east. Thanks, Charlotte.
My kitchen bathroom sits behind the built in fridge, I suspect because there was water. You have to realize the house began in about 1960 as an Okie fishing camp and grew progressively, especially after I got after it with crow bar, sledge hammer and wrecking tools.
Hopefully we are going to put an outdoor bathroom out in yard for use from decks and patios, garden. It will have sink, shower, toilet for really dirty or outdoor use. I actually have it purchased, just need it built.
The need for a new duck painting centers around fact I sort of collect duck decoys and the sort of duck art usually given to men who own shot guns, black labs and belong to Ducks Unlimited. During this past two years a lot of damage happened to things I own and I am about ready to either hang new stuff or shut up about where is it? Or both.
I especially like wood ducks.
TruckerRon, wonder if there is a law enforcement crowd control device in there somewhere?
So what you’re saying Jackie, is you have the fixtures, now you need the structure to mount them in?
Don’t tell the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and Really Big Fires about the Really Big Nerf Gun.
Jackie, you really don’t want to know what image your words “outdoor bathroom” and “use from decks” conjured up for me. But then, I’ve been to some house parties like that.
Debbe 😉 I hope your waters are not troubled. Mine are moderately troubled, but as usual, I am coping.

Yes, I have fixtures, I have lumber to build structure, I have tile blocks to build the floor, I need metal roof and an on demand water heater. No, not outhouse Ghost. More like a pool bath or a garden bath to not have to run to house.
Conjure up cedar siding, white metal roof, concrete block flooring set in crushed granite powder, concrete dyed to look like cobblestone.

Real indoor outdoor plumbing or is that outdoor indoor plumbing.

Wife pulled out some of FIL paperwork from early 80s to shred.
Will pass along some stuff when I review stuff she thought you might find interesting.
Egg prices – pullet cost – etc.
Did say loans were running 14-15% – hard times for farmers.
You don’t have to call me darling, darling, you never even called me by my name.
The perfect country and western song. I was drunk the day my MA got out of prison.
Why don’t you ever call me by my name?
I like to have women I’ve never had. I’m into basics and don’t like fads and I like to have women I’ve never had.
Sorry Jerry. You’ve got to kiss an angel each morning and love her like the devil when you get back home.
Hope the Indiana contingent, including fowl, escaped tonight’s storms. Galliglo, looks as if you were in it, too. Many of our relatives in OH likely endured the same relationship to this storm as do various petrous formations with regard to female bovines….
Good morning Villagers….
Still here, just not feeling well. When I get home, I just collapse…this heat isn’t going to give up until sometime next week. So tired, I’ve not even been into town to see Dad…but I have called him.
Learned yesterday we are going to be inspected, not by the Corporation….the Corporation’s consumers….that’s just great. Will be sometime between July 1st and the 10th. Looks as though we’ll be going in early to get things repaired and whipped into shape. Poor Ian, he is keeping up with the blowing out the hen house and the fan shutters. Straps that blower on his back..and a full frontal respirator….he’s drenched by the time he gets done.
And the Boss is leaving tomorrow for a two week vacation in Canada…yup, it’s that time of year. Keep thinking of what his ex son-in-law said once….don’t let him tell you he’s poor, a poor man can’t even take a one week vacation let alone a two week vacation 🙂
Right now it’s 77 degrees outside on my front porch.
Old Bear thanks….the egg man was in to weigh eggs Tuesday…we started discussing the market price of eggs…..61 cents a dozen….seems the market is flooded with eggs right now.
Jackie, so glad you enjoyed your visit with Llee. And yes, I too have heard of kitchen bathrooms.
need to go in early
later…………..
GR 😉 but this fighter will remain…..

It is 6:30 EDT. We did not have the big storms overnight as we were warned, but it is now raining and thunder rumbling. We shall see what the day brings…
I was awake at 5:30, which is VERY different for me. Had to visit the bathroom (which is not different! LOL) but then I could not go back to sleep. I kept thinking about a couple of things that need to be done this week at work. Guess that is my subconscious telling me I had better get going and get ‘er done! I should be able to get by on 6 hrs. of sleep.
A little stressful at work this week… several key people are on vacation… my right-hand gal has been sick… and unexpected report that had to be done NOW…
Hmmmm… perhaps the worst is over.
Prayers for all who are in the paths of various storms and wildfires…
Not that I’m lobbying for thunderstorms-though I do love them-but some rain would be really welcome here. Yesterday the high was around 92, and with the humidity added in it was pretty miserable. I had to be out running a few errands and by the time I got home I had to put on dry clothes because I was soaked just walking from my truck to the stores and back again. And I have to be out in it again today, as I have a doctors appointment for her to see how the meds she prescribed are treating me. So far, so good, I suppose, so we’ll see what she says.
Good morning. Dickenson and I never make breakfast buffets, even those with a real cook doing fresh omelets unless they have a brunch buffet or room service. I love room service honestly and men who cook breakfast.
Just got great invitation from Lora to stay another day and go to art walk with her. L love art walks. Did I mention I love art and artists and galleries and art?
Poor Dickens likes them too. When we were in Port Townsend last year they were dog friendly but it was in 70s and it is almost 100 here so he may end up at Lora in the living room and not with us.
Need to get out of bed and into shower. I think I picked a great tunic and leggings for today. Vibrant colors and patterns that look like some of the art I saw yesterday. Maybe someone will make an offer for me!
I changed that Dickerson to Dickens up there and Hal changed it back. Stubborn Hal. He does this as he transmits I swear.
Hello colleagues, its great piece of writing on the topic of
educationand fully defined, keep it up all the time.
It’s really very complex in this full of activity life to listen news on TV, so I only use web for that reason, and obtain the hottest information.
