Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
This was the first time in two decades that I was out in below freezing temperatures! I was not dressed for it, and there was more of the same ahead for the next few days.
“Slim……….you need to be real careful with that.
You know you’re not 70 yeares old anymore!!!!!!!!!”
I am very much awarfe of that now, LS. I under guesstimated how cold it would be!! And while I have nice warm jackets, I didn’t take one with me! :-((((( The plan was to come back Sunday, but I was just too uncomfortable.
Slim……try A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court……and really enjoyed the romp through merry ole England!!!
It got down to 38 in San Diego this a.m………and now it’s a balmy 51……….golly!!!!! Don’t worry, we’ll be back home by this time next week, and enjoying the 20’s and 30’s once again!!!!
Hello to Leaky, Lonewolf, and Vista Bill…..and then, to all who will be joining as the day grows long….!
Spent a few hours with our daughter-in-law to be trying on wedding dresses (she did, not myself………I know LS would chide me on that one!!) Anyway, this ole mom-in-law shed a few tears!!!! She will make a LOVELY bride!!!! Another dress shop tomorrow and some more gorgeous creations!!!
You got it, Ma’am. Haven’t seen it in decades, but it was a fun movie.
I got the new extended version of “Avatar” Wednesday. Three disc set with three versions of the movie, plus a lot of info on the making. etc. Was going to be watching it up there in the foothills tonight, but…….. I guess I’ll have to watch it alone. :-(((
Morning everybody. Cold here, too. I’m in Marshall, Texas and the temperature is 30 deg F. We rode the Christmas Train in Jefferson last night. It was lots of fun. Then we went to see the lights in downtown Marshall. These two towns really dress up for Christmas. If you’re ever in this area in the season, I really recommend them.
DKRAM - Without checking with IMDB, I can tell you that the name of that film was Killamanjarro. I may have misspelled it, but I remember it well. It was a fine movie.
Oh, wow! I can’t believe I got that wrong! I got the title mixed up with the Ernest Hemingway story, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.” You’re right. I had to go to IMDB to get the name of the movie we’re talking about. Way to go, Dkram!
dkram, that movie was “Hatari”. One of my all-time favorites. My favorite scene? When they were all driving home drunk and singing “Show Me The Way To Go Home” over their radios.
One of our favorite movies, dkram……magnificent music by Henry Mancini. Favorite part is the opening credits with the drum beat music and the scenery as they drive along.
However, as we watch it nowadays….one thing REALLY bothers us…..all that cigarette smoking!!!! Chain smoking ALL the time…..
Re: Today’s “PICKLES’ strip. Opal is righr on the mark.Spelling and language usage by so many today shows the lack of education shown by so many of the younger ones among the population., and not just teens. During the last two or three decades, the finding of mis-spelled words and improper syntax has become common among the general population and the media!!
Okay, I’m done with my rant, and sorry it’s so true!?!?
