Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 20, 2013

Why was it left out in the snow? I can see leaving the cake out in the rain, but…

wndrwthg, Yeah, all that sweet green icing, flowing down….so sad…

Hey, he’s good..I have no idea where my remote is…..

Mr. Miller, I love your playfulness….What an uplifting toon….Common man get’s things done……um…….just like a….. um….. common man.

Hey, us common men can do and do do things, OK? Got a problem wit at?…Hey, I’ve been to Chicago more than once…Ok. OK. If anybody see’s Gracie, tell her good night…Let the sleep begin…..

Mmmmmmm….Katie Perry….Mmmmmmm

Dreaming IS free….

Another thing is free. Music you know well. I had Fleetwood Mac’s “Sometimes”, off of Future Games, in my my head and I started to look for it in my CDs It would have taken forever..my filing system sucks…So, since I had the song inside my head already, I sat down and listened to the whole thing from from start to finish. I might have mixed things up a bit, but it was very satisfying….Great fidelity and stereo separation… It was what ever I wanted it to be. I added a horn section for while, my choice,,,Which is cool, because if I ever go deaf, I’ll still be able to listen to music…is that cool or what?

Where I live, snowfall is lucky to bury anything taller than a cheeseburger.

Its a Maine thing.

Johnny, it’s a Danny Kirwin Song….

Enjoy…

Hey hosers,this is why I nailed a washer to the driveway!

roctor……um…What?

Actually “Sometimes” is on Bare Trees …..

BTW, Christine McVie,(Perfect) has to be the most underrated keyboard player in Rock and Roll History…They always forget about the troopers and the journeymen and her…

Only a Mainiac would get that, and there obviously aren’t too many of those reading the strip. Probably out looking for their snow blowers.

That snow blower actually belongs to his neighbor…finders sweepers, or something like that.

What’s that white sftuff? – from Florida…..

STUFF

VICTORY!

He more then likely is using the snow blower to dig his car out!Once he finds it, that is…>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Exactly what I was thinking. Must be one of the joys of a Maine winter.Personally, I prefer looking at snow on the news. You don’t have to shovel sunshine here in Florida.

in some places, like canada, that is called spring.

You can’t have too many toys.

I still want to know why he left the snow blower outside. I keep mine in the garage, well away from the elements so I don’t have to break out the metal detector and…::shudders:: the shovel…to find it. I hate shoveling snow!

I was expecting his car KEYS. But you’re right; this is better!

The song that this brought to mind doesn’t seem to be on YouTube, but here’s the lyrics: http://victoria.tc.ca/Culture/Vnsc/prev/snow_shanty.html

Does anyone remember the hovercraft-inspired lawn mower? Looked cooled but didn’t work because it blew the grass flat beneath it (Duh!). Would have made a better snowblower.

No one remembers “McArthur Park” by Waylon Jennings?

Excellent toon!!!!!!!

Snow. . . lovely, beautiful snow. . . how I miss thee. Another drought-stricken winter here in the center of the country.

And at the top of my page is an advert for visiting Quebec in the winter!Here in CT the only snow we have left is in sooty piles in parking lots.

I know exactly where my snow blower is….and with God’s help I will never have to find it by digging a path to the shed I have it stored in….if by chance I need a metal detector to find that shed I will calmly go back into the house, pour another cup of coffee and wait for spring thaw. Assuming I can find my way back to the house. (Visions of Jack Nicholson in the maze scene of “The Shining” flash through my mind….MAKE THEM STOP!!!!

“What … it starts after being buried there ???”Really! I was thinking the same thing. After my son-in-law liberates his excuse for a snow blower from under the canvas, if won’t start. Then after much running back and forth between the convenience store and car repair place down the road, he may get it to run for awhile. But it’s outta commission about 2/3 of the time, and they can’t get the cars out of the garage, with a 200-foot driveway and 6" of snow all over and sheets of ice.

surfsnuff. And I’ll never have that recipe again,,,

GoldenRoya, Good story well told…That’s all we ask…and you did it well, so l sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite……

Cute:)

Heh heh. Can you tell me where I can get some of those little white pills? I hate snow…..fortunately we only had a few flakes before it blew inland and buried the rest of the UK.

My hubby’s been complaing that he misses snow, but then were lived in the mountains where it’d snow a few inches or a foot and it’d melt in a few days as long as the sun came out. Oddly enough when we moved to the upper midwest everybody was saying “oh, the cold and snow must be such a hardship for you!” yeah, if we’ve gotten 3 inches total this whole winter I’d fall over in a faint.

I thought it was going to be a car. . .

I am originally from Minnesota, and the memories this brings back…. I think I’m going to print and frame a copy of this. Call it, “Memories of Years past.”

Richard Harris singing MacArthur Park — the end of the song has to be one of the highest notes I have ever heard a man sing — high D!
