Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 28, 2025

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

Benjamin Franklin

At least they’re not thinking bed bugs!!

Too much wondering?

The man shivering under the covers, dreams of warm weather.

That’s why I like winter more than others I know. If you’re cold you can bundle up. In the summer there are only so many clothes you can take off. And winter keeps the creepy crawlies at bay.

I guess he’s willing to take the bad with the good.

Yes, eagerly awaiting warmer weather!

I thought he was trying to carefully tell her about the spider on the ceiling,

Last week I was getting sentimental about flowers blooming and trees leafing out. Hubby reminded me that it is months away. I sighed….a girl can dream.

He’s looking forward to complaining about how hot it is

Rethink it all you want Arlo, it will be coming around whether you approve of it or not. (YAY!!)

If he knew he could take satisfaction in knowing that he eats a lot of insects every day in his processed and protein fortified foods. Added to that is the food colorings made from insects and of course food varnishes and lacquers for candies made from insects.

Keep thinking. There are insects I know not to touch or aggravate, but I don’t kill them. The more I know about the role of the tiny, and micro-tiny, critters in this world the more important it is to me to encourage life —- especially the life I don’t understand.

But I’ll swat the mosquito on my arm, without thinking.

Ya cold, dipwad? Try putting on some PAJAMAS!

Thanks Arlo. You’ve reminded me about the “No Bugs” in winter thing. I feel better now!

Dreams of long sandy beaches with the warm blue Gulf Waters. Sipping. Margaritas on the deck at sunset. Time for the move.
