   I can do more left handed than most. I attribute that to my father being left handed. Sometimes I switch hands to write on the board at school when I’m teaching, (either hand is terrible penmanship which I also attribute to my father). If the kids notice, I tell them I’m amphibious. ;)

   It was just a spotty rain and he exaggerated just how spotty. No shotguns were harmed in the storm. ;)

   At the time this strip was written, people associated totem poles with Eskimos. Now. in this day and age of historical accuracy and political correctness, we associate the totem poles with the Pacific Northwest Indians , (excuse me, Native Americans), and Eskimo is not the correct word for most of the tribes of the far north and may indeed be an insult I’m told.

   The only reason I read Alley Oop, Gasoline Alley, and the new Nancy anymore is tradition. I’ve been reading them since my older sister had to read them to me 60 years ago.

   My wife gets back from helping take care of our daughter, (well, mostly granddaughters) on Monday. She’s been gone since the middle of July. I guess I better clean house. Tomorrow, tomorrow will do.

   Mine did too. Funny thing is, her hair “leveled out” and quit turning anymore gray.

   Way back in my college days, I lived in a basement apartment. One day I went upstairs and watched As The Stomach Turns or some such soap opera with the upstairs residents and others from church. Two weeks later, I went back up and watched again. It was like I hadn’t missed a thing, the story wasn’t progressing very rapidly. ;)

    I think the last shoe store x-ray machine was found in a shop in Tennessee in the 1980’s. It wasn’t in use but still there.
