Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 10, 2013

It’s all the moon’s fault…

they are all soooo cute

I had a friend become furious with me because I told him I could tell which direction we were traveling by looking at the moon.

Petey doesn’t like it because they don’t listen to him

Self-inflating panic at four; unheeded reason at eight; utter confusion at [Peter’s age]. So it grows….

Shame on the moon.

I’m good with it as long as the sky doesn’t fall.

This is yet another example of how pitiful the schools are today … or parenting … probably both.

Yes, young Peter, you have a difficult task.!

I’d love to see this one on video!

Alice and Dill are just so adorable!

I love cul de sac. Wish the S.F.Chronicle would add them

“The Cassandra Effect.”I make a great Cassandra. I can say something and no one will pay no never mind, then someone else will ♫☞*present*☜♫ the exact-same thing, and everyone is, like, ’HUZZAH!"

ellisaana’s reply is more in line with what I was thinking.

“The sun was shining on the sea, shining with all his might.He did his very best to make the billows soft and bright.And ths was odd, because it was the middle of the night.” – Lewis Carroll, “The Walrus and the Carpenter”

You might recall the story of Cassandra, to whom the God Apollo gave the gift of prophecy as a way to woo her; but when she spurned him he added a provision that nobody would believe her. Sometimes I wonder if something similar didn’t happen between me and the wisdom goddess Athena.
