Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 15, 2023

They could be really bad…at steering!

Short cut?

Stroke! Stroke!

That’s another claim the insurance companies in Florida won’t pay for.

Or the river’s in flood; or they took a wrong turning …

Or they could live in Vermont

Background music: London Calling.

Maybe a little bit of both.

I used to know a guy who lived near a golf course. He was always having to stop his lawn mower to pick up golf balls in his way.

I wonder if someone was trying to waterski behind them.

Recent news from the northeast suggests it could be both.

… or … Hey – What’s the weather like outside?

Or the river is getting closer.

Company!!

Cockeyed coxswain.

This year’s Montpelier Regatta?

Considering the bad weather lately, maybe now, the house is on the river.

The way the weather has been, now the river might be way too close to the house.

Even the cat looks interested in the situation.

Punting can get a little out of hand when you get a pro punter. Punting on the Avon seems a lot classier than paddling on the Yellowstone.

A flash flood followed immediately by a flash drought.

Or, the weather is really messed up… yep, that’s it.

When in doubt… punt.

How’d they make it past the guard shack?

Trying out for the Olympics

I suspect they went off course.

If you didn’t want people to play through your backyard, then don’t buy a house next to the golf club.

Another careless portal placement…

This is why we need self driving Row-bots

It’s Rantz and the boys!!!

Also, might be a Tsunami.

“Rowing on water is for sissies. Real men row on land.”

How is that good?

Running out of clever FUNNY Ideas, Wiley?? NOT Funny or Entertaining.

Weather as 3rd possibility: The river came close to your house.

Where we used to live there was a house very near the road we took on the way home or to work. It was below grade and on the outside of a curve. During our 15 years there, it was hit THREE TIMES by too-fast moving cars that didn’t make the corner. First time, it took out a bedroom (west-bound car) that hit ‘em in the morning. When they rebuilt, that room was turned into an office/den. Second one took out the garage (east-bound pickup truck) that hit ’em at about midnight. They rebuilt it. Third one took out the LR/Den that had once been a bedroom (west-bound pickup, also near midnight). The rebuilt it. After each rebuild… the owners sold to someone who was gutsier than they felt by then. I visited the area again about 2 years ago (and 35 after our last visit). That house had obviously been hit and renewed at LEAST one more time (same “den” room). There still was no barricade up beside the road, no change in the layout of the road. I presume that’s fallout from the extremely right-wing local government that doesn’t value human life as high as I do.
