   I had a dog, Clancy (1998-2011) that just went nuts over those little lizards (Anoles, Geckos, etc., often referred to as “Chameleons” up North) that are so prominent here in South Central Texas. They could hide in a pile of rocks forever while he waited semi-patiently for them to come out.

   They could program the cash register to allow only some small number of items before it totaled the purchase. The same line of code would trigger the “small number only” light above the register.

   I recall 65-70 years ago using a dry outhouse at a state park where the only septic chemical was powdered lime. And I wish I hadn’t. Recalled, that is.

   I’m 76, and grew up in Iowa. Every one of my teen years before the 4th of July we’d find some excuse to drive South to Missouri, and low and behold, when we got back home, there were fireworks in the car. Cherry Bombs were pretty popular as well as M-80s. One summer some teens headed back North with the top down on the convertible and were tossing various munitions out of the car. One of them got sucked back into the cache by the slipstream, and detonated. Wasn’t pretty. Can’t recall if anybody got killed or not, but at least a few fingers ended up on the side of the road.BTW, the reason fireworks were illegal in Iowa had to do with the destruction of a town in NorthWest Iowa due to a fire. “On June 27, 1931, the town of Spencer nearly burned to the ground during a fireworks explosion. The fire destroyed 80 businesses and caused over $2 million in damages while leading the Iowa Legislature to ban fireworks in the state.” Notes on Iowa.com.

   M-80’s were silver, and the fuse was in the center, not the end.

   I tried magic markers on my computer screen, but it got very messy by the time I reached the end of the comics I follow.

    I think today’s strip is a great metaphor for aging, and much as I hate to admit it, my blanket load is getting quite full.
