    I (vaguely) remember (back in the late ‘50s) when the snow drifted as high as the schoolyard fence. Of course, back then, we’d have several snows in a row with no melting in between.

    “Organizer” is clearly the role Elvis was born to play. The power of the megaphone! The urgent need to rescue!

    Elvis shows us what it really means to be an “anchor cat.” I think Pucky got the best chore on the list—who wouldn’t want to be a whipped cream taste tester? And who wouldn’t want to be greeted at the door by Goldie? Does Lupin realize he could be replaced by a r-a-g-g – m-o-p-p rag mop?

    In the last panel Elvis looks as though he would rather not be cuddled, but he isn’t going to complain.

    Well, fellow Capricorns, today is my birthday (too late for Christmas and a month early for my supposed due date) but 2020 has been such a crappy year in many ways, including the plague, I think I’ll just stay the same age for 12 more months. NOT a do-over, God forbid—just “forget it happened”.

    Our back yard sloped, so we did our sledding (aka round thingies) there, as well as a water slippery slide in summer :) One year, when my BFF and I were 15, we walked to a local park and made snow angels! LOL!

    Back in the fifties, we walked to a country club/golf course that had a perfect sledding hill. We also used toboggans. We were lucky to have safe places to sled.

    I miss the snow that we use to get 5+ decades ago.

    I have been driving since the 70’s and snow was never a problem to traverse. In fact, when I was a “little shaver” as my Grandpa use to call me, I would go out in the first snow that came along after I started driving and would purposely put the car into a skid/spin to practice getting out of if. A little refresher course at the start of the snow season and bingo, no problem for the rest of the winter.

    I grew up on an immense sandbar on the edge of the sea. Tough sledding where there are no hills.

    This is the first thing I read on Sunday and I love it! I remember sledding on new sleds after Christmas! We froze and git buried in snow! Couldn’t wait to get home and warm up! Thanks for the memories.

    Growing up many places (Air Force brat) I was able to experience snow. Now that I am in Alabama it is hit and miss. When forecast, we say people rush the stores for French Toast (bread, milk and eggs).

    When I was a teen we lived on 40 acres of pinon forest. The back quarter sloped down considerably so we built a toboggan run through the trees. And then carefully carried gas cans full of water (bought to water plants far from the house) out to it to glaze it over. It was a death trap. A really fun death trap…. :-D

    Goldie might think the Family has been through an ordeal but I bet Lupin would love the thrill of speeding down that hill – the cold wind whipping through his fur. And afterwards, he could play at going invisible!

    Jingle Bells

    Climbing up the hill

    As I drag my sled

    The humans in the cold

    The cats are all in bed

    Sliding down the hill

    As Puck’s chart does show

    Climbing up another hill and in the house we go!

    Oh! In the snow, in the snow, in the snow we play

    Oh what fun it is to sled and then go home and stay!

    In the snow, in the snow, in the snow we sing,

    To be greeted by our cat friends,

    As they all do their thing!

    Seems to me that heavy socks and galoshes take care of that problem. It’s the clothing where the snow melts and then re-freezes that always got me. Bay Area native who lived in the midwest from 12 to 16. My family moved back here and I never left. No more seasons, ever again. We have fall light here. That’s as far as I’ll go.

    Today is: D-4

    The day in 1831 when Charles Darwin set sail on HMS Beagle to discover the Planet of the Apes … at least that’s what his critics said. They were wrong. Although the theory has needed some modification as scientific knowledge has increased, it has stood the test of time and science, and I wear my Darwin Fish pin with pride. After all, “My Pappy was a wolf, an’ my Mammy was a bored grizzly!”

    The birthday of Gérard Depardieu (a planetary body), Marlene Dietrich (not a planetary body), Louis Pasteur (microscopic bodies), and Johannes Kepler (lots of planetary bodies). While some of these folks are or were a little odd, none of them were flakes, and certainly not fruitcakes …

    Cut Paper Snowflakes Day: As if some didn’t already have enough of the real ones! Those folks want to change it to “Cut Out Snowflakes Day.” But I like snow, even when I have to move it. As for the paper kind, it’s very rare to find one that is a true representative of the real thing. Crystalline water has hexagonal symmetry, not isometric, so to make a proper paper snowflake, you have to fold the paper in multiples of 3, not 4.

    National Fruitcake Day: Not the dense, nutty, fruitcakes you may work with or for, or the ones infesting any large, administrative or corporate entity. This day is for the edible ones. Why there is a strong prejudice against fruitcakes among some people (other than those just described) I do not understand. Every few years (3 to 7) we buy a small tactical fruitcake from Collin Street Bakery. These are delicious, and if kept in a cool, dark place (not refrigerated) will last a long time, even without soaking in flavored alcohol. They just came out with a chocolate version, which has a half life of less than a day, as confirmed by several independent researchers …

    The horror is having someone deliberately ruin a sledding track because she is the only one who can’t manage to stay on the sled (and it’s a one person sled at that) so she decides no one can have fun sledding. So why not trash the track and use the banks to build a snowman that she’ll put right in the middle of what remains of the track.

    Yes, I know it could be a he, but in this case it was one of my sisters when we were kids. Plenty of room elsewhere to make a snowman, and plenty of snow. My other sister and I were having no problems with the track, having listened to what dad told all three of us (we were all three present when he instructed us how to bank without going over the banks). She couldn’t stay on the sled so she decided no one could have fun sledding if she couldn’t have fun. So she decided to build a snowman out of the track when no one was around.
