A NICE CLIMB

 

For you, maybe. Not for me.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

 Oh yes it is.

It's Friday once again.

The day when you put all your troubles aside and enjoy the Friday Funnies.

Shall we begin?

Whew!

Is that enough?

I think so.

Once again, I want to thank all my contributors for helping me keep this weekly spell of lunacy going.

Keep 'em comin'!

Now if your moods have improved sufficiently, let's all have a great weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing!

ThrowBack Thursday - SNOW!

 A few years ago, I was living across town when a little winter storm blew through.

I was retired so the blue birdbath suffered the most, I think.

This was the view in the front of the house.

But to really see some snow you have to accompany me to North Dakota back in 1966, when a record setting three-day blizzard hit the state.

When the storm finally let up, I began to dig my car out of a snow drift that formed around and over it at the side of my house.

You can see my ham radio operator call sign license plate.

The Chevy Impala was all-white so if I hadn't known where I parked it I might have searched for it for days!

I just thought you folks in the American Southwest and on the West Coast of America might appreciate this little cool-down post.

HOPEFUL

 

SMOKY

 We are far from the California wildfires but the smoke has drifted east.

This was our sunset last night.

This morning's smoke created a strange optical illusion in the sky.

Our sincerest sympathies go to all those affected on the West Coast.

Stay safe. 

Stay strong.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

What a week!

It seems I start every Friday post with the same whew, am I ever glad that's over!

It just keeps going on and on and on.

So, let's get to the business of the day by beginning with the latest contribution from Wacky Wally.

Okay, something in that collection surely must have made you laugh and improved your general outlook.

I'm not feeling alliterative today so I'll just urge you to have a wonderful weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing!

ThrowBack Thursday

 Seven years ago Judy and I visited our longtime friends, Tom and Lana, at their retirement home in Cambria, California.

It was a time of dyads.

Good friends and good art.

Good food.

And good conversation.

Tell me, do you remember the "good old days"?
