   Honestly, there are some rules in calculus that have the same feel as what Sally has come up with.

   In the 00’s my parents (in their 60’s at t the time) had their doctor’s home phone number. It wasn’t something he gave to everyone but my dad was dealing with a lot of health issues at the time and the doctor knew my folks wouldn’t abuse it.

   This was in a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so honestly you could have just walked to his house and knocked on his door – everyone knew where everyone else lived.

   A friend bought me a very cheap fake Rolex on a trip to China. This is about how well it keeps time. :D

   Toward the end of the strip CB came home and excitedly announced his team had won a game. Sally was so amazed and confused that she couldn’t believe it. That took the fun out of the moment for him.

   Just did this after eating dinner last night! I knew exactly what they were doing!

   I remember our 3rd grade class doing this experiment and the one in the closet grew but the one on the window sill did not.

   I don’t know why that memory sticks with me so well. It was 1979 and I can still hear the sound of our teacher’s voice saying with a chuckle “Huh! Well THAT wasn’t supposed to happen!”

   I always said there’s nothing better than having a close-knit, loving family in another state.

   Or how about dialing and getting the “no long distance line available” signal on a holiday when everyone is calling family. I lived in a small town up north and this was common when trying to call “the rest of the world.”

   After his retirement, my Dad decided to take on doing the dishes after dinner. Mom relieved him of duty because he didn’t wipe off the kitchen counter to her standard (which was part of the job apparently).

   Here was a man who fought in the Korean war, spent 17 years in law enforcement (including 7 as Chief of Police in a small city), and another 20+ in various supervisory and management rolls in a large underground mine.

   He said the only job he was ever fired from washing dishes in his own house. :D

    May have to unsubscribe. The coherency of two strips in 7 days is overloading my mind.
