Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 20, 2019

You’re quite the scholastic politician, Ernesto

“Otterloop, Peter Otterloop.” Nope, it doesn’t have the cachet as “James Bond”.

Flushing ice cubes down a volcano could be interesting. It would create clouds that he could use with his weather machine.

Alice in charge of a weather department – the mind boggles.

So I now wonder if Richard Thompson came up with the name “Ernesto” as an homage to Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the super-villain from James Bond?

Alice and Ernesto teamed up to control the weather? It begins……

Ernesto would be perfect as a future James Bond super villain.

Try to get on that kid’s good side while there’s still time!

Ernie…you are too late. We already have HARP and it is doing just fine creating 100 tornadoes, non-buring ice fall in Georgia, and thunder that sounds weird.

But does Ernesto like pussycats?

Ernesto = Felonius Gru? Minions, assemble!

Ernesto has mad megalomaniacal ideas, just like a James Bond super-villain! He must be stopped! Petey (my hero), do something!
