You could always use your nose as a snorkel, like elephants do.

Wonder if he’ll get clammed again.

Must be a Lions fan.

LIE around in the sun.

Even in retirement it’s getting harder to plan a fishing getaway. I started looking into available cabins at Lake of the Ozarks for this coming May and ended up coming across an article about how the lake there is now a toxic soup of agricultural run-off and industrial waste. I was disappointed that such a beautiful lake could be trashed like that. Are we going to turn all of our lakes into Salton Seas?

The use of “lay” vs. “lie” can be tricky and confusing. I remember when I came home from middle school years ago with english homework; my father read some of it and burst out laughing. I didn’t know why….it was “pick the correct word to complete this sentence (lain or laid in this case)” type work. I picked laid, so the sentence read “The poor old lady was LAID on the couch.”

Back up a bit….

Who knew this comic strip was set in Florida???

Welp, the tide is high. Guess I’m moving on…

Let me guess, he’s going to get clamped again..
