   Queen Alexandra, wife of Britain’s King Edward VII, was apparently nicknamed Alix. My niece Alexandra went by Alex (now I’m wondering if there is there a difference re: boy vs. girl for Alex and Alix).

   I really like how Luann’s expression was done in the second panel. Greg and/or Karen (whoever drew it) really nailed it.

   It seems that Quincy roams freely throughout the house, and I’m still surprised that Paige doesn’t keep her door closed.

   I never realized how much I needed a backup camera until I had one. I really miss it when I drive one of the older vehicles. By the way, my 1991 Chevy S-10 just turned 200K and is going strong. I’ve never had any real problems with it except for the paint.

   Wow, this is very true! I’m glad that I’m not the only one who experiences (and uses) this technique!

   I thought that the US went into Afghanistan to get Bin Laden and Al-Queda. When did we decide to do nation building instead, with a people that didn’t want it?

   Re: Ukraine. It sounds like too many are just saying “Give the Russians what they want to ‘keep the peace’”. That’s the same thing that families tell an aggrieved family member to let the jerk brother-in-law continue to be a jerk and give him what he wants, to “keep the peace”. I’m sure that Ukraine will never get the eastern occupied provinces back, but just giving it to the Russians to “keep the peace” sounds an awful lot like the Sudentenland in 1938. There will have to be a negotiated settlement, but Russia will have to yield some too.

   I haven’t figured out what the “T word” is yet! The problem I often have with such usage, as well as many acronyms, is that I spend too much time trying to figure out what they mean in plain English. They save time for the writer, but may take more time for the reader (me). At least I learned “TL/DR” but still have to look up what “IIRC” means every time I see it. (Yeah, aging Boomer)

   The tomato juice thing seemed to work on my Blue Heeler (though admittedly the dousing wasn’t too bad). What I noticed more than anything was that I could never get the smell out of her leather collar, so new collar time.

    Nixon supposedly said “He doesn’t know his a$$ from shinola!”.
