It will come as a giant shock to you that I’m running a little behind here. Over the weekend, I was going to slip in a couple of 1991 strips from the first visitation of Harvey for those interested. Many of us, I imagine, have seen quite enough of Harvey. Of course, if you don’t want to see Harvey, you probably haven’t seen him at all. This is getting very existential. So, without further ado, I am going to post two old comic strips from the first appearance of Harvey. This short series led to the later send-up of the movie “Harvey,” which we saw in its entirely recently. It’s probably worth noting that Harvey’s appearance was one of the first times Arlo & Janis got, well… weird. OK! I promise, no more Harvey after today.

DG seems to heralding a return to the small neighborhood grocery & dry goods store.
Vinny did a great job of defending those two utes, didn’t he?
My understanding of New Mexican cooking is that “Hispanics” there are generally quite proud of the fact that their ancestry is SPANISH, and NOT Mexican. Therefore they have a different type of food.
Debbe 😉 Perhaps no one will get their proboscis out of joint over a little country.

“Thank y’all.” 🙂
That was what I was explaining to mom (who I do try to treat with respect and carry on conversations, despite the dementia) that the reason DG is succeeding is the very principles that governed small business a hundred years ago. They work hard, their employees do it all, unloading trucks, stocking shelves, pricing, waiting on customers. You are never going to see many of them standing around, yacking instead of working. They can’t, they staff for lowest number of workers and they must work.
There is nothing wrong with that and something right.
And I love having a well stocked and brand new one a half mile from the house! And they order whatever I need, if I need cases, which I was ordering over internet. Heck, I bet they have my grits too!
Love, Jackie
Jackie, DG has online ordering at their website too.
Here’s a site which should interest the cooks.

Dear DellaMae, I’m glad to find out that you were the “Anonymous” who wrote me a comforting note on the anniversary of Chris’s death. It was just what I needed to hear and I really appreciated it — thank you.
Mark, I was using the online DG ordering but realized it was not helping my local store, even though they offer free shipping no matter what the stuff weighs. So, I want my local DG to make their quotas and projections, so I go local now. They are super helpful too, at least to me.
But it is funny, I find people have always been super helpful most of my life. I think you are met with the same response you show others, so I try to let people know how much I truly appreciate them.
By the way, that spice site is totally awesome! I love cracked pepper and they had so many iterations of it! Great prices too, actually on things I looked at. Not that I use star anise much anymore but boy, it was pretty stuff!
Love, Jackie
Good morning Villagers….
Indy Mindy….you got your wish, lots of chili postings 🙂
Husband made two pots of evening meals Monday, one was chili (which little Kyler ate again last night) and butter beans with ham….I ‘knocked that off last night 🙂
GR 😉 those two young ladies do a fine job of harmonizing and yes, I had to look up proboscis. Did you read my entry from yesterday regarding Nat Geo’s “Urban Jungle”? I hate rats.
Devil of a day yesterday…everything from the packer (I only got 201 cases) to the stinking auger STILL popping out. We just gave up, cleaned up and left…..POI.
Little Kye is proving to be a challenge….but aren’t all two year olds. One more night, tonight.
Ya’ll have a blessed day.
Glad you’ve come back to visit us again Rusty.

In this little community, everyone know your name, I almost felt like Norm from Cheers when I when into vote early yesterday…love it.
Debbe, our toddler grandson managed to wake up from his nap, escape every toddler proof lock and restraint and burglar system.
Daughter said she was out blowing leaves and looked behind her and he was holding a bag of Halloween candy up for her to open it! She said nine things he had to get through to get out, including a coded burglar lock sysem. He is 2 years 8 months.
The kid is WAY smarter than me. She says they are coming back to move in with us during her dad’s treatments. House will become a “Choo Station” I guess? We did not get to go ride the real train in Arkansas with him yet. I need to see how much longer it runs, November ends the season until spring.
That one of yours may be out with the egg production if you don’t watch him.
Love, Jackie
About today’s A and J, during Mike’s “adventure boating” events we use tracking SPOTS and also EPIRB now to follow them. It is sort of spooky, you can see garbage cans and great small detail on the maps. I mean, beach chairs and I swear beer cans, but that may be a slight exaggeration. There is a small time lapse from what you are seeing but not that much.
Not flawless, as the tracking site usually manages to crash due to too many people following but the direct access to SPOTS system is usually always right. I think it reports every 10 minutes?
I know people who watch and know the waters and timed sequences can report EXACTLY which boats are in a particular photo at a particular time and where they are. I am doing good to keep the one(s) I am following on screen.
Love, Jackie
Now the OF site has the common ‘no predictions for now but back soon [paraphrase]’ notice. Peace, emb
