Answering the yesterday past dynasty post of SmEldo of Appa-latch-ia, who misses King Coal…
To whit.
~ I have seen coal. On our trip some time back me ’n Whisperflicker were on the highway going up to Pittsburgh. At a major rest stop when you first come over from W. Virginia, is a museum of sorts with large photos of the inside of coal mines, actual tools and of course, actual coal hunks that you can touch.
They were doing household coal deliveries in the ’30s and ’40s in Buffalo and no doubt many other places. My dad remembers it coming in through a basement window from where you did the shoveling. Our first owned home in Eggertsville (NY), had on old coal burning rig that had been converted over to natural gas. That thing was big and nearly completely filled the cubby it was in. Some years later circa 1970, a new furnace went in that was about a third the size and made plenty of heat.
Christmas Card Day. I haven’t started on my Christmas cards yet. I’ve received one so far. But I have to work so I won’t really have time to work on Christmas cards. Maybe I can get started on them on Tuesday.
Weary Willie Day. Weary Willie was a clown made famous by Emmet Kelly who was born on this date in 1898. Back then, white-faced goofy clowns were the norm and his sad, downtrodden clown character didn’t fit the formula most circuses were looking for. But times & attitudes changed with the Great Depression and people were able to relate with the sad Weary Willie character like never before and he went on to become an American icon.
National Pastry Day. I’d love some pastry! A nice apple turnover sounds good to me.
To jessegooddog from yesterday. I just read your sad news about Craig and I’m deeply sorry for your loss. It’s especially hard this time of year. There are no words to express my deep sympathy.
Too bad we can’t see today’s comic. I’m sure it’s quite good. On another note, saw a bird flying while out walking today. I’m not sure what kind it was due to it being a bit foggy, but I think it might have been a hawk.

Lily obviously went nuclear about Santa and blew up most of the cartoon, today. She really needs a chill pill.

Fun and frolic in my yard yesterday. The second vid captures an acorn thief.
