Pickles by Brian Crane for July 28, 2020

Well you’re not trying very hard to find any are you Earl.

Earl should learn to use Google.

Reminds me of my favorite adult-with-kid game: Hide n seek. Because once the game started, I would simply start reading my book.

Of course my kid didn’t take long to figure it out… but I did get several minutes, maybe even 15…

Mr. Google tells me they even have them at my local Walmart.

I mean, I’m not collecting them and I already have three!

I miss the side eye from the dog.

Makes perfect sense to me; I collect alien spacecraft the same way.

Opal you are looking at Earl’s Hobby ! Nap Time :-)

Opal should tell Earl that he’s ripe enough to be his first musk ox.

Kind of hard to find them when you’re lying vertical like that, Earl!

My hobby is collecting seashells. I keep them on assorted beaches all over the world.

Earl always has an answer ready….however, what does Opal do for a hobby? Nag nag nag….LOL

Clever

I used to have a collection of memories, but I forgot where I put it.

At least ya don’t have to DUST any of the little buggers. . .

And they don’t need to be dusted.

I have one-along with 100+ other animal friends from Artesenia Rinconada made by 2 brothers in Uruguay. I have a friend from Uruguay, who screamed with delight the first time she visited my home. She knew the brothers and their work.

I thought he collected dust.

Earl has his favorite hobby laying on his recliner. Husband has his playing bubble game on computer he is retired.

There is a little shop in Fairbanks, Alaska…

my hobby is reading twitter backwards – I still am at pots

I have a little stuffed-animal one from the gift shop at Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska, part of a research station that was involved in helping bring the musk ox back from extinction in Alaska—they had to start off by importing some from Greenland because there were zero left in the US. The fact that they face danger by putting the adults in a circle with the young at the center made it easy for those with guns to take them all out. So. Sixty or so years ago the researchers started out by placing some on an island with no predators to let the herd grow. They’re domesticating some at the farm, where they sell the exquisitely soft and incredibly warm undercoat, called qiviut, to help make expenses.

Great one Earl.
