The Saturday Picture Show, June 7, 2025

 

Joining heat, humidity, mosquitoes, and sweatiness on my list of reasons not to like summer very much are these blobs, called sea nettles or bay nettles or jellyfish or their scientific name, Chrysaora quinquecirrha. If they sting you, the cure is Adolph's Meat Tenderizer. Really. Or Texas Pete Hot Sauce.

Just as we were promised, grocery prices are really coming down!
"Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Uncle Earl says he won't come down the storm cellar until he finishes the back yard!"
All right, it's not a great foot massage, but it's an OK foot massage.
The owl doesn't give a hoot about the cats watching him. Which they will.
So the first goldfinch says to the second goldfinch, "Did you hear about that owl over on Elm Avenue?"
Thailand's entry in the Miss Universe pageant, Sueangam-iam, wore a gown made of discarded soda tabs to honor her parents, who were refuse collectors in Bangkok. That said more than a lot of words would have.
The convicts who escaped the Orleans Parish Prison in Louisiana left behind taunting notes and cartoons. One hopes that when they are all rounded up, they will attend English classes.

Extra for me, please.
People try to re-create this weathered look, and they come mighty close, but the best way to have your exterior wall look this distressed is to paint it twenty years ago.
