Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 04, 2021

This appears to be building up to something. I just can’t figure what.

Real Prime Directive: Protect the children.

Poor Meg.

And a nice little quote from John Milton.

Considering how much time I’ve spent standing and waiting in lines I must be an excellent server.

I’ve loved the arc at the coast. Now that the guest house is vacant, could Arlo & Janis move permanently?

She quotes Milton! I’m impressed!Of course, Milton is speaking of serving God.

They should take Meg home with them.

“Stowaway” Meg back to the grandparents

Not today, Meg.

“They also surf who only stand on waves.” (No idea who first said that.)

Here’s the context of the John Milton quotation:

When I consider how my light is spent, / Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, / And that one Talent which is death to hide / Lodged with me useless, though my Soul more bent / To serve therewith my Maker, and present / My true account, lest he returning chide, / “Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?” / I fondly ask. But patience, to prevent / That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need / Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best / Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state / Is Kingly: thousands at his bidding speed, / And post o’er land and ocean without rest; / They also serve who only stand and wait.”

I wonder at what point child labor laws come into the picture.

she needs to give Meg a chance to show them she can help out when help is needed so no better time than now!

My kids started working the family food booth at the county fair when they were 5.

I wonder how much of Mary Lou’s childhood pregnancy Jimmy J is factoring into how she is shielding with Megam?

Meg hasn’t been vaccinated. Too young.

Sitting on the dock of the bay. Watching time go bye. ;-)
