   I think it’s the notes on the wall by the telephone. Must be industrial grade to be able to write on it.Jay’s T.P. was popular in Great Britain when I was stationed there in the 1950’s had the consistency of parchment paper and the wiping ability of waxed paper.

   Never knew that “The Fat Broad” was named Jane. Not PC anymore?

   While living in Alaska I was lucky to see snowy owls a few times. Unbelievably large and beautiful. Very hard to spot when the ground is covered in snow. They spend most of their time on or near the ground rather than in trees mainly as they dwell on the tundra where there aren’t trees.

   As my name is George and I was taunted mercilessly by this rhyme in grade school, I can not find any humor in this strip.

   Compassionate? Did you see the way he treated Anita Hill? He was brutal. But maybe you were too young to have watched that trial without a jury.

   Bought a 1964 Sunbeam Alpine IV and picked it up in London. Drove it all over England and Scotland. Had it shipped to California and used it as my daily driver. Moved to Alaska in 1966 and drove it there over the Alcan highway experiencing temperatures as low as -30 degrees on the trip without a problem although the cabin heater wasn’t quite up to the job. Used it to commute to work in Anchorage year round for about two years then stored it for 20+ years, restored it and used it for a show car till I sold it and left Alaska in 2002. Last I heard it was still going strong and living in Fairbanks AK. One of the best cars I ever owned and never had a problem finding parts for it. Never understood the “Lucas Prince of Darkness” complaints.

   Yes, the freeze really hurt me. Got married in England to a local girl while stationed there. Couldn’t use the commissary as an E-3, no class 6,no base housing, no household shipping or dependent fare for return to the CONUS. Very early commute to the base for KP. Best thing I got out of my four years was my lovely Bride of 63 years.

    Air Force 1956-1960. SOS was always good at every base I was on. Can’t say the same for the many many days of KP I had to pull as never made it past A 2/C. Frozen MOS my entire hitch but made up for it in my civilian job with the FAA, retired after 30 years as a GS-13.
