Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 05, 2023

Janis has his number but Arlo can’t help it. It’s a male thing. Just ask my wife.

No. Don’t stop. She loves it!

Years ago Arlo would have been a walking encyclopedia, now he’s a walking Google.

At least he didn’t moon her!

In 2020, researchers discovered that the moon is actually 85 million years younger than we once thought.”

“Computer simulations revealed that the moon formed roughly 4.425 billion years ago.”

Don’t worry Arlo, I won’t say anything to Janis.

Grashopper! great reference to his age bracket.

It’s way too cold around here to go outside and enjoy today’s full moon.

Don’t break the ritual, Arlo, you are destroying the magic.

Do you think he has to explain the “ grasshopper” reference to her?

it’s a Chinese balloon!!!

“It never gets old”

Isn’t that his cue to say “and neither do you”?

I hear ya Arlo.

Ah, but what is time?

“When you can snatch the Pedantisms from my lips, it will be time for us to go inside…”

Apparently, there is some discussion in astronomical circles that, due to its large size in comparison to Earth, the Moon should be reclassified as a twin planet, not a satellite.

Leave Arlo alone – He’s my favorite ’toon guy.

I presume dating moon rocks has told us the moon is the same age as the Earth… although I would expect a lot of the moon’s surface to be meteors and space debris. So many mysteries: the synchronous rotation of the Moon and alignment of axes with respect to the Earth virtually requires the moon to have separated from Earth originally, but how it attained a very circular orbit utterly baffles me.

See?

I just found out that that as you go South, the Moon appears to rotate such that at the South Pole it appears upside down for what it appears at the North Pole. A first quarter waxing Moon appears lit on the left side rather than the right side.

The moon is inhabited by ETs. Earth can never see the backside of the moon. The moon is hollow indicating that it was manufactured.

Purportedly, the moon was much closer to the earth & continues to slowly move away

Yep. No more “mansplaining” lady. You’ve got Google.

Arlo, Arlo, you completely missed the light in her eyes — the whoopee lamp could ’ve been lit!!

Arlo! That’s not the moon! It’s the Chinese!

I shot a harvest moon, beautiful…

“….I get points for trying, though. Right?”

My diary doesn’t go that far back.

For a second, I thought it was a Chinese weather balloon.
