Strange Brew by John Deering for December 18, 2020

That’s a vintage 1965 model.

Once we were old “enough” Mom let us have a christmas tree in the “basement” where the older boy-kids had bedrooms. Then we petitioned to keep it up until July 4th, when it became part of the fireworks show. It was … educational… and difenitely a fire hazard.

They look good to me.

Uh … “Certified,” you say? Ooookay …

Christmas. Gotta go kill a tree. I am surrounded by live evergreens. I could throw some lights on one, I guess.

You’d have to be “certified” in a different way to buy one of those!

The Legend Continues.

Same lot sells pumpkins at thanksgiving. Just ask Linus…

I’m just going to use an old corn stock for a tree. There’s still a bunch of those around.

Maybe it just needs a little love…

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown

He’s a clown, that Charlie Brown

He’s gonna get caught

Just you wait and see

(Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me).

I remembered when things, like cars, were “used” and not “pre-owned.”

They seem to be intree-gued.

I once worked with the Graphics department of a zoo where all the signs and labels were made for the park. One fine day all the middle managers got together for one of their interminable meetings and ended up changing the name of that department to “Visual Communications”. I retired shortly after that!

But I suspect the warranty has expired.
