Close to Home by John McPherson for September 17, 2023

He was in a good humor, man…

One time I weighed 131 pounds.

I hope he had some money for him or was he planning on stealing it from him?

It probably would have been easier to just go out the window.

2011 BB.

Maybe his girlfriend (picture hanging on the wall) is driving the ice cream truck.

Ice cream can do that to you…

The ice cream truck hasn’t run around here in a couple of years.

Freedom AND free ice cream. What else can any American ask for? ;)

It’s a 2011 rerun this Sunday, so I’m gonna whip up a lite fare from Granny’s cookbook.

Todays choice is “Catfish and Apricot Gumbo Soup”… Granny’s measurements take a little gettin’ used to…

A smidgen is just a teeeenie, tiny amount …

3 smidgens make one pinch.

4 pinches equal one little bit.

4 little bits equal one midlin’ amount.

3 midlin’ amounts equals one right smart.

5 right smarts make a whole heap.

Those testosterone pills advertised on TV really work!

The ice cream truck couldn’t meet him in prison, so he met the truck in person.

Watch him check back in once he discovers they are all out of “bomb pops” …

I haven’t checked yet, but I wonder if the ice cream truck rolls through the 55+ communities. The walker generation can’t run to catch him, but the Vietnam vet’s know how to bring him to a stop long enough to get a fudgsicle.

DID HE SAY THE MY DING-A-LING MAN?

Maybe he’d finished his book, and needed something else to read.

Bill Bixby weighed 130lbs?

I thought he really had to go, but I guess there is a little toilet/sink on the wall.

Is that a picture of Rita Hayworth?

Those were clearly Bungalow Bars!

But why didn’t he break the bars on the window instead?
