Just a short addendum to the Funnies because several items are news today.

The U.S. tour has been rescheduled starting next month and ending in August, including a stop in Glendale, Arizona!

This was two days ago as Jagger was rehearing his moves.

2.  Of sadder news, Arizona's famous Grumpy Cat has died at the age of 7.  

Apparently from complications of a urinary tract infection.  

Shed a tear.

3.  And finally, something to celebrate.

It's May 17th.

NORWEGIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Skol!

Once again, have a great weekend.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

To all of you who have encouraged the continuation of these weekly attempts to foist some humor into a dark world I offer my humble thank you.

So lessee, where do we begin?

Lemmee put on my specs and inspect the inventory.

And with that, I shall make my departure.

Dang it all, you, dames, damozels and dudes . . . don't be dejected, dazed or dizzy.  I shall return in just days to differentiate from your dissatisfaction and dolor.

In the meantime, have a delicious weekend and always remember: Keep Laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

LOCAL WILD KINGDOM

SWMBO spotted something on our back yard wall last night.

So before venturing into the unknown, I took a photo.

Then I crept, with the talent of a jungle cat that I possess, a bit closer.

The object did not move but it appeared to be a living creature.

This reptilian denizen had great patience but so, mighty explorer that I am, did I.

Hard to identify but it may be a rather large gecko.

As I turned slightly for a better view, this dinosaur from eons in the past gave me a glare.

Faced with possible potential annihilation, I beat a hasty retreat and left him to his wont.

WATCHING

The Mighty Muralist, aka SWMBO, aka Judy, had her paints out again the other day.

It seems the Rock Turtle needed a touching up.

Last night she put a silicon treatment on the rocks on his back to bring back the shiny tone he had when we first acquired him.

But what struck me  . . . and may cause nightmares . . . were the tiny details she added to brighten his eyes.

What do you think?

There's a certain evil intent showing in that eye, I think.

Enough to put trembling in a grown man.

'Course, she could have really greened him up and made him appear even more vile and dangerous.
