Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 24, 2014

You’re never too old to believe in Sandy Claus..Better than believing in the great pumpkin..Happy Memorial Day weekend!

My husband, from Cleveland, said that during his childhood in the 1940’s, he couldn’t go barefoot until Memorial Day and had to be shod again after Labor Day. Boy, am I glad I’m a Californian.

Reflect this weekend, and thank a vet.

Love these guys!

Probably came singing that old tune “Good King Solstice.”

Did Sandy Claus give Janis a new bikini?I’m sure Arlo would be happy if he did!

Why does a chicken on the beach remind you of Christmas?

She has sandy claws…

And Janis got a couple of pristine gardening tools, I see… Well, don’t just stand there Arlo, light up that new Tiki torch and get to the grill!

agree with those who are disgusted that every holiday must be turned into a day to shop. just wait! it won’t be to long before you will see ads for the BIG 9/11 Blowout! We Are Crahing Prices Down!

Cute.

So go get some sand between those toes

Arlo’s jacket looks much more spiffy here than in the Milwaukee Jounal Sentinel, which doesn’t color its non-Sunday funnies.

ToborRedrum .“Grill, not BBQ.If you don’t know the difference, you deserve neither.”.Nobody deserves either. They are just some of the many blessings bought for us by those willing to lay down their lives for our freedoms

To me, the start of summer is regularly not needing to wear a jacket on my late night-early morning commute on a motorcycle

I’ve never thought much of the “unofficial start of summer” line, as if some bureaucrat declared the solstice official. I have decided I will describe this holiday as the “traditional start of the summer season”. Wordier, but more accurate, making my computer-nerd brain rest easier.
