   If you have a PRO account and want your daily My Comic Page choices presented like they were before you went PRO, use my recipe (look for “recipe”), after logging into your PRO account.
   Don’t thank me. I already know it works, provided GoComics doesn’t change its folder locations.
   I’m only going to blanket post this once (the recipe will remain provided GoComics doesn’t delete it), but others may go PRO having not seen this. So if you read someone complaining that going PRO made things more difficult and the recipe helped you, please do me a favor and point that individual to it? Thank you.

   Abushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck.
   Ahug around the neck, and a barrel and a heap
   A barrel and heap I’m talking in my sleep, about you…

   A peck is the actor who played Atticus in To Kill A Mockingbird. (Gregory Peck)

   A bushel is a unit of dry volume…this is an approved text book? At least Hobbes is accurate…

    @whims

    “Unit of weight” screamed at me also. The English system may be be confusing but by golly, I had to learn to multiply by every non-prime number and so can my kid. Whats this metric and decimal stuff? Why when I was in school, a kid knew the difference between a weight ounce, a liquid ounce, and a four finger ounce. Where would I be if I didn’t know that If an apple tree produces 4.6 bushels in one square yard, how many acres must farmer Jones let lie idle to receive help from Washington? I will admit my weight does sound better in metric. As for my waistline,——-

    @margueritem

    This is how we sang it as kids:

    “I love you a bushel and a peck
    a bushel and a peck
    and I’ll break your pretty neck.”

    Where did that ever come from???

    So, a bushel of volume is equal to 4 pecks of volume? That I understand….and was raised that way when we loaded up veggies into bushel baskets….so, did Bill Watterson mess up by dragging the weight factor into it?

    You know what they say about senile dementia, Marg; memories 40 years ago are as clear and the day they happened, but you can’t remember what you had for breakfast. What did you have for breakfast? "Cuz that was 70 years ago!

    The English system is now metric, thank goodness ;-). SI units are so much more logical for science and technology.

    I’m old enough to have had to learn my 12x table, and 14x for stones (which Americans don’t seem to use) but pecks and bushels had dropped out of use way before my time.

    Of course, Marge, I, myself, am much too young to remember that far back.
