And to you, a belated — “Happy Birthday,” Gerard. 🙂
Apropos of absolutely nothing to do with anything here, I bought a package of “Pizza Pops”™ today (Tuesday, April 13, 2021). I’m not actually sure if this is the second box or the first I’ve ever bought; I think they first came out in the 80’s and I may have bought one then.
While they will never be a “must buy” item, if I want an easily reheated snack food, why not?
Given the themes of “Cleo and Company” this week, I went online and successfully located both the “Wizard of Oz” and the original “Terminator.”
Time well spent.
We had coffee with marzipan-filled croissants, later (for dinner) mussel soup Korean style and sashimi with Jameson as digestive between/after courses and lemon balm tea afterwards. I assume GerardD would have approved.
I absolutely agree. Just by the style of their clothes, though, I thought that in a more modern time, they might have added a few more lifeboats, at the very least….

You’re welcome.
I did some further research. The results are below:
Thanks, but I’m a little troubled. My favorite color, blue, is unlucky for me and I live in the southwest! That explains some things in my life.
Speaking for myself, and probably everybody….
You’re very welcome!
And since it’s still only 7:30pm right now in California..
Happy Birthday again!
…
Hope you’ve had a good birthday evening, so far…
(Hmm…. do we call that a birthevening?)
He’s 30 now. Maybe a birth twilight.
If day starts at dawn, and 30 is already twilight….
a lot of us here must be living on borrowed time!
Tell me about it
In my case, I feel it’s true. The asthmatic dog found it funny too.
Thanks. Yes, I had a great time thanks to you all! We didn’t call it birthevening, but now we have to, coming from a trendsetting like you.
I feel honored, thank you.
Yes, it is. And it’s mourning its lateness too.
And you have the gall to call a certain cartoonist a cheapskate!
one thing the old scalawag has plenty of—gall
You are very welcome
My preferred sauce is A1.
On Chinese food?
Yeah, I’m not at all partial to soy. Too salty!
PIZZA!!
At least Cleo didn’t throw in a “Chop chop!”

I’m GerardD and I approve this message.
Jameson digestive between courses? Sounds good to me!
Franklin Booth
Just love these drawings!
That looks really, really ominous to me. Does the drawing have a name?
These Booth works are exceptional, BTW.
A lot of unstable air there. No wonder the birds are all riding the thermals.
…
There’s something really restful about this scene!
The Titanic goes down, April 14, 1912
I just learned something today. ✅
Namely that the “Titanic” had stops in two ports of call before heading to the meeting with the iceberg.
There they are; listed right on the poster, but we never hear of them.
Who embarked at these ports of call; more importantly, who if anyone, disembarked?
Here’s a link to a page that contains all the numbers…
times, dates, number of passengers and crew… even fares in different classes.
From her building in Belfast, to her maiden departure as a passenger ship, from Southampton, England…
How many off and on at each of those passenger-gathering stops, mileage between and after them…
Till her fatal collision en route to New York.
…
Not the hundreds of names, though…
If you really want those, you can probably find the manifestos somewhere online as well.
I didn’t know that some people only rode across the channel, from Southampton to Cherbourg.
…
…
Ok, back to sleep…..
LOL.. wrote the above on my tablet during a break in my sleep…
Just noticed what must have been an autocorrect typo.
I was about to edit it, a luxury we have on this site… But it’s too funny!
(Of course, I do realize that I’m too easily amused.)
….
At least nobody has pointed it out to embarrass me….
You’d be looking for the passenger manifest!
Finding a manifesto would imply some sort of insurrection onboard.
…
BTW… I had no idea that article would embed.
I thought it would be a link.
imagine how ‘dead-in-the-water’ (so to speak) we would be if/when
Utube decided to get grabby with their stuff like A& E Network did to

This excellent documentary answers a lot of your questions…
Alexi can probably see it, which I guess is the point.
But it’s. … sniffle…. blocked in the US.
That’s a switch! It’s usually American content that’s blocked in Canada!
(I can send you a DVD of the full 3 hours, if you like)
It’s… um…. OK…. thanks.
: )
Fortunately, transatlantic travel is much safer ….
I see Cleo, but I wonder where Claude and Clara are?
in 1912 EVERY kind of travel was dangerous. Heck, you probably still
had to dodge Native American attacks on the lonesome prairie
I absolutely agree. Just by the style of their clothes, though, I thought that in a more modern time, they might have added a few more lifeboats, at the very least….
….hope so, for Cleo’s sake!
,..
By contrast, here’s the “Titanic” placed at scale with the modern day cruise ship “Symphony of the Seas”
It’s my opinion that if the “Symphony of the Seas” also met an iceberg she would have to shorten her name to “S.O.S.”.
I had no idea those giant, top-heavy-looking cruise ships were that huge
Here’s the one I came to Canada in in 1953…
.,..
I recommend the iceberg’s view on the whole affair… #snl

Y’all wear a life vest. (((((HUGZ)))))
O-o-o-o-o-h-h-h. Pecan pie! My fatal weakness. My kryptonite. Gimme, gimme!
Mouth watering!!!
Because she’s NOT like any other dog, Claude!
Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods)))) and Miss Susan.
Other dogs😂 we all know other dogs are not in the same league !!!
….
The helicopter is named “Ingenuity.”
And it needs another software update. Good thing they can do it from here — that would be an expensive service call.
“Ingenuity” may be small, but…
Thanks for posting that.
If there is a more definitive depiction of the words “desolate and alone” than these images of Mars, I have not seen it.
Confound it Cleo, why can’t you act more like a dog?
Simple answer……….’sassy’ is funny. We all just love our sassy Cleo!
Cleo is not an ordinary dog. She knows who the boss is, and it ain’t Claude.
