I recognised it right away as a Buick, because no other car had the “holes”…. and Montana Lady is right about the whitewalls.
My dad loved Buicks… we had the ’54 and then the ’56 Super, with whitewalls, of course. And the beginnings of tail fins, giving them a more massive look.
He had to have the Super, not the less expensive Special, because it had four holes, and the Special only had three.
…
Could anybody these days, with an Air Force salary and three little children, buy a fancy new car every two years?
Even then it was foolish… but his pride and joy.
My mother didn’t object because they could still pay the rent and buy groceries. And because in 1954, wives didn’t object.
…
But … um… I was thinking, Nighthawks… shouldn’t you have posted a(nother) Lincoln?

Somehow “homing” doesn’t seem like such a good idea in ballistic missile design.
I remember reading that he turned 80 last year… wow.
So he was 24 here, at Newport in 1964 … looking like a kid, but he was already an icon and had made several albums.
The second one, “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan”, in 1963, was the first to feature his own compositions, and the first LP I ever bought.
I’m surprised the needle didn’t wear through the vinyl.
“Blowin’ in the Wind”, “Masters of War” … “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.”
There was pretty stuff too… but talk about “wow”… those songs changed music, and changed lives. Really!
…
Even “Mr. Tambourine Man” in this video… a deceptively “pretty” song… but before him, nobody else sang in that sort of voice or wrote lyrics like that.
The next year, 1965, I still remember, at the same festival, (not that I was there, but I’d just bought his new album) … he got booed for changing…. and for bringing a band and electric instruments. to a Folk Festival.
Not by me, though.
…
And he’s still touring!
I saw him in San Francisco about…. ten years ago?
His voice was a throaty rag then… I wonder what’s left of it now.
I went with an old friend, who bought my ticket ($159) as a present for my next two or three birthdays and Christmases.
A joke cos he usually doesn’t buy me presents anyway.
…
We decided we were very glad we went, because it was an event, and we could say we saw Bob Dylan…
A tiny dot, wandering around on stage, barely visible from our high seats, (especially with his wide brimmed hat on) and barely audible…
… playing his new music, and also changing the words and tempo of his old songs unrecognizably….
again, my memory.
I broke my own rule about rerunning anything shorter than a year from the last time I posted it.
have faith, new stuff is coming

Clara is probably the only dog owner in America, or hopefully the world, who does have an answer to that question…
After all, Claude didn’t know.
You might say Clara holds a cabinet level position in the Clifford home… the keeper of the cabinets in the most permissive household ever in which to be a dog.
…
Now, I don’t mean to imply that knowing where you put Cleo’s missiles, so you can tell her where to find them, is a bad thing.
I don’t mean to imply that at all…
because I mean to come right out and say it.
…
Clara, you’re supposed to know where Cleo’s kibble is stored… maybe a rubber chew toy or two.
You might keep track of her pedigree papers, vet records, puppy vaccinations….
But when it comes to infrared-homing, surface-to-surface ballistic missiles… NO.
NO NO NO!
….
You’re not supposed to allow them… much less buy and store them… for your DOG.
You all three need to go to obedience school, before you all go to prison.
…
I know, I know… it’s only a comic.
But what if she blows up Cleveland?
Or wanders out of the frame, and strikes Ballard Street, or Pearls Before Swine?
Or some precious antique, like Peanuts, or Calvin and Hobbes.
My mother made these, and so have I. They’re good ! !

“CINNAMON BUNS (in two parts)”
First you need the dough. “SWEET DOUGH (Straight-Dough Method)“
Scald 1/2 cup milk
Stir in 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup shortening
Cool to lukewarm.
Meantime measure into bowl 1/2 cup lukewarm water
Stir in 2 teaspoons sugar
Sprinkle with the contents of 2 envelopes Fleischmann’s Active Dry Yeast
Let stand 10 minutes. THEN stir well.
Stir in lukewarm milk mixture.
Stir in lukewarm milk mixture.
Stir in 2 eggs well beaten / 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Beat until smooth.
Stir in an additional 2 cups (about) sifted all-purpose flour
Sweet Dough Instructions
Turn out dough on lightly floured board or canvas.
Knead until smooth and elastic
Place in greased bowl; brush top with melted shortening.
Cover. Let rise in warm place free from draft until doubled in bulk – – about 1 hour.
Punch down dough; turn out on lightly floured board or canvas.
Finish as directed on page 20 (our page), 21, or 22.
For Faster Sweet Dough (Action-Quick Dough):
Increase sugar from 2 to 3 teaspoonsful dissolved in the 1/2 cup lukewarm water and increase yeast to 3 envelopes.
Rising time will be reduced to about 45 minutes.
CINNAMON BUNSMakes 18 buns
Make up Sweet Dough (recipe on page 19).
Halve the dough; roll each half into a 12 × 9-inch rectangle.
Brush generously with melted butter or margarine (use butter).
Sprinkle each rectangle with 1/2 mixture of 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cimmamon
2/3 cup raisins
Cinnamon Bun Instructions and Notes from me
Roll up as for jelly roll, starting at short edge. Seal edges.
Cut into 9 equal pieces (about 1 inch wide).
Place , a cut side up, in greased 8- or 9-inch layer cake pans or 8-inch square cake pans.
Brush lightly with melted butter or margarine (use butter).
Cover. Let rise in warm place free from draft until
doubled in bulk. (Straight-Dough Method about 1 hour;
Action-Quick Dough about 30 minutes.)
Frost while warm with Confectioners’ Icing.
“CONFECTIONERS’ ICING”
Combine 1 cup sifted icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
and sufficient milk (whole milk — (3.25% milk fat) to make a stiff icing.
Notes from me:
2 1/4 teaspoons granular yeast equals 1 envelope /// 1 1/2 tablespoons equals two envelopes.
I use Crisco Vegetable Shortening.
Butter is recommended because margarine is….yeeeechhhh ! !
The Quick-Dough Method gives a richer, sweeter bun (you want a diet cinnamon bun?).
The “two cups (about)”: you do not want a dough that doesn’t feel like barely dried paint. Flour will dry out even in a damp climate so add 1 1/2 cups at the first addition, and add sparingly from there.
Remember to plump the raisins before measuring.

Good answer…
Good Morning Cleo phans!
It’s supposed to be grain free day too, but I protest. You can’t have sticky buns without grain.
.
Looks like a fun group.

Yogi Bear, MaGilla Gorilla, Astro Jetson, Jane Jetson, George Jetson
Huckleberry Hound, Secret Squirrel, Wilma Flintstone, Elroy Jetson, Betty Rubble, Quick Draw McGraw, Scooby-Doo
Top Cat, Morocco Mole

Dixie, Fred Flintstone, Pixie
I only had to look up four.
Again: Spoiler. (sigh)

I love this colorized photo of Lincoln!!
,
I always loved the Buick! Especially the air intakes on the side. Looked like a race car. The white walls were literally ‘walls’. Now? Why bother.
Nice car!
I recognised it right away as a Buick, because no other car had the “holes”…. and Montana Lady is right about the whitewalls.
My dad loved Buicks… we had the ’54 and then the ’56 Super, with whitewalls, of course. And the beginnings of tail fins, giving them a more massive look.

“Looks like we got ourselves a convoy…”
Does the lead dog also have to clear the path? That’s some hard work.
I suspect these bassets were given the luxury of pre-shoveled path, courtesy of their slave/humans

Somehow “homing” doesn’t seem like such a good idea in ballistic missile design.
If I’m remembering my physics correctly, until or unless it runs out of fuel, it will actually be an elliptic missile.
As I understand it, it’s “homing” in the sense of heat-seeking, focusing on striking infrared radiation from people, warm engines, and weaponry…
Not homing like a pigeon or a boomerang…. which would make a truly comic missile design.
But you probably know that.
Sorry if I stepped on your joke. LOL
Or radar. They can also home in on radar. And, come to think of it, laser homing is also a thing.
Wow, Bob Dylan was once young!
So that’s who that was!

I couldn’t make out a word.
But I finally got to see Bob Dylan.
…
I do remember when you went to that concert. We all were younger then. Where has the time gone?
Oh good. That means it WAS within the last ten years. Whew!
I saw an article that said he was last in San Francisco in 2006, and I knew that couldn’t be right.
I may be losing my mind but not that badly.
Haven’t we seen this only a short time ago?
probably. when it comes to the music videos I post, you guys are at the mercy
of my memory……not a good place to be.
I meant Cleo and her arsenal.

Y’all have a sticky day! (((((HuGz!)))))
you can, but it wold be just the pecans and the sticky part…..sorta like a piece of
pecan pie
But the bun is the best part.
Mount Rushmore revelation:
It you look at it juuust right, the whole rock formation on the right forms the head of our future basset hound president…
As long as you ignore Abraham Lincoln’s face on her muzzle.
You’re welcome.
You’re right! Thanks!
How did YOU do that?
