Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 15, 2016

Don’t we all, Alice.

To the best of my recollection, there were a lot of interesting tidbits of information surrounding former POTUS Hayes. The only specific (I think) I remember is that he is still the only man to serve two non-consecutive terms. I believe there were also some peculiarities with the electoral college, possibly two competing groups of electors claiming to represent one state. But that may have been a different President.

RBH once got his beard stuck in a coffee grinder.

Given his knowledge of soil erosion, he would be!

why aren’t alice and dill in school?

Strange. You never hear the name Rutherford anymore.

@markbrowningmilnerMaybe they’re playing outside at school, but Petey’s distress can be heard throughout the town

Just mentioned this to my grand-nieces on this Presiden’ts day:

It’s his stock answer for History class. If you keep using it, it’s bound to be the right answer one day, and it makes you look like you know at least something. You need one for each class. Try Moby Dick in English class. And 7 in Math. Granted, they’re not correct very often, but it you keep using them, the teach will conclude that you’re a moron and will quit calling on you.

One of the few Presidents with the first name Rutherford.

I see Petey is an TIlden supporter

How the devil does Petey fit Rutherford B. Hayes into a shoebox?

The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont, Ohio; not too far from where I used to work….You’re welcome, Petey (and myriad others).
