THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Ah yes, Gentle Readers, it is Friday once again.

Hooray!

And the rain has stopped.

At least here.

So let us get on with the business at hand, shall we?

And with that woeful wisdom, I shall take this opportunity to warmheartedly wish you all a wild (but with no warmongering) weekend full of whigmaleeries (bet you have to look that one up 😀) and wisecracks and weightless winter wonderlands.

In short, have a great weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(ohhhhhhhhhhhh)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

It's a gray and rainy Valentine's Day in my part of the world.

CATALYST ON THE ROCKS

"Are you shadowing me???"

MOUE

"Yes, I am more than a little cold.

True, I do have this heavy cloak but still.

You mock me by putting that circle of ice down next to me.

You leave me standing out here on a snowy morning.

Am I not expected to pout?"

But it's warmer today.

The snow and ice are gone.

And La Monja may just be doing an impersonation of a certain president.

What do you think?

SNOW DAY

"MAN THE SNOW PLOWS!"

JUST A TE(E)ASE

From time to time a blogger friend in London, Steve, has posted on his blog photos of some of his tee-shirts.

He has quite a collection but then, so do I.

So today I thought I'd post a photo of one of my favorites.

Before you grow too worried about me let me assure you that the Yuma Territorial Prison, which opened in 1876, was closed as a prison in 1910.

Since then it has served a number of purposes but has been a museum since 1940 and a State Park since 1961.

My tour of the prison included a visit to the notorious solitary confinement cell which I seem to remember had no windows and was a dark and scary hole.

It was known as "the dark cell".

Imagine being locked in there during an Arizona summer when Yuma is one of the hottest places in the state.

I hasten to add that the cell doors remained unlocked during my visit.

THE JINGLE TREE

If you have your sound on you'll hear what sounds a little like faint thunder.

It isn't.

It's just the wind blowing.
