    2,000 yard stare. Janis is hooked.

    Janis is channeling Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville!” Or is it “Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude?”

    Years ago, Gus made Arlo an offer he couldn’t refuse with the boat. Now seems it’s Janis’ turn with the condo.

    Just tell her You and Gene are thinking of adding to the family, and you like some more Grandma and Grandpa time.

    One of the biggest issues when moving is leaving friends, particularly if you made them when bothe your children were at school. That is a lot of shared experiences to leave behind. (For the women, generally, anyway). But A&J don’t seem to have any friends, so no problem there.

    So . . . In other words, Gus doesn’t want to rent out the condo. But he would be willing to sell it.

    I’m wondering if this is the beginning of the end. Didn’t Jimmy comment here a while back that he’d be wrapping up soon?

    Janis may make her decision on the beach…Arlo will be convinced one night on the moonlit balcony of the condo.

    Visit the location of a potential move during the worst of the weather/time, then decide.

    I don’t want to start a panic, but this story line is giving me the vibe of a finale. Like, Arlo and Janis move to the beach, live happily ever after, and Jimmy retires.

    I hope that’s not what’s happening.

    So I guess this means they are both retired? They never mentioned that they have to go back to their jobs. I don’t recall them ever mentioning they had retired but it would make sense.

    These days all of my major decisions are made on the beach. Like, “Do I what to pull out the metal detector today or the rod & reel and try my luck at some flounder in the surf” or “Which Original Seafood House in Calabash do I want to eat at tonight?”. These are as tough as they get in retirement.

    It’s a Southern coast I would like to move away from. He has never said where but the Alligators run from Florida to South Texas as well as the hurricanes. I’m tired of both. I need to move a little North to some different type of weather threat. Seems everywhere has something.

    It would appear (to me, at least), that Mr. Johnson is setting up another shift in the story. While I don’t think it would detract from the strip, it does make me wonder, with a bit of dread, if Arlo and Janis turn that corner, will that new road lead to (eventual) strip retirement?

    An arc on them downsizing would be fun. And since A&J has reflected our lives, it would be appropriate. And yes, Ludwig would adjust to the condo just fine.

    I think I shared this before but my mother worked with a lady who kept a second house with her husband in Florida for wintering. These were the days before AC. When retirement came they made the move, but she came back. The first summer about killed them and the cat. Just saying.
