Everyone Needs A Dream

My dream comic would feature this meet-up. 

Nothing to See Here

Quarantine. Day Two. Here's a skunk. 

Oh Deer

I arrived back in Jersey City this morning.

First order of business (before nap) is to check the game camera.

I honestly thought there were no more surprises to be had from the game cam.

How very wrong I was. 

National Bundt Day, 2020

Happy National Bundt Day, y'all! 

It's been a few years since I celebrated properly but what better time to bake cake for an outdoor gathering than during a global pandemic? 

Raising the Roof

I'm in Jersey City, where I get to quarantine a few days before getting a new roof on my house. 

Technically, I'm supposed to quarantine 14 days, but I will have to go outside to meet with the roofers, and let them in to go up through the hatch. I'll wear a mask and not get close to them. 

I guess that's when I let the cats come downstairs for a change. They'll be scared of roofers for sure.

Back West

When I got off the plane, the Flyaway bus to Van Nuys was waiting outside baggage claim. I hopped on it rather than sort out a Lyft, and I’m sitting in Van Nuys now awaiting a Lyft to Burbank. (The Flyaway gets me most of the way home, but not all.)

A guy who was on the bus is expressing dissatisfaction.

“I didn’t know you had to pay to get on the bus! No one told me!”

Live from Jersey City

I have something really special for you tonight!

Composting

New project! There are compost bins at the park down the street.  

I Don't Think So

FFS. Am I ever going back?

Ellis Island

Good morning.

This is where we’d come in as immigrants back in the day. We’d take ferries from Ellis Island to the railway terminal to my left, then head out into the heartland by train.

Not the Hungarians who bought my house.

They didn’t even get a mile away from where the ferry docked. They took good care of the house from the forties to the seventies.
