Genetics is interesting stuff. I enjoy “Finding Your Roots” with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Looks like the way the lavender grows in my front yard, but with a different hue.

This     LINK     leads to the contents of the comic. The reading format is set up differently from anything I’ve seen before, but it’s easy to get used to (click the white “x” at the top right to get to the comic / I have no idea why the sort of “black out” is there, but it is).
For once, the cover and the story mesh.

I think there may be a typographical error in nighthawks’ identification.
The picture of this one for sale (asking:   $2,154,750.00 U.S. / €1,950,000.00) identifies it as a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (300 SL Gullwing).

This looks like the road headed up the gap toward Mad River Glen ski area if you’re coming from Montpelier.

Gotta send this to my brother in Maine. It’s on it’s way, just a bit delayed. Already had a problem with the power out, a sump pump with no power, a clogged pipe, and a leak in the basement. Assured power is a luxury for some of us.

Sounds like my brother in Maine as well. Oddly enough, he and his wife enjoy the challenges and wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Love those limestone sinkholes. It’s got to drive the geologists crazy when trying to plan a new housing tract!

I could not find an official type answer, but here are mine.…
The colours of Holi are red, yellow, blue, and green, so the quiz obviously goes outside of those limits.

 
1.   green   revolution
2.   pink   lady
3.   red   baron
4.   white/brown   sugar
5.   green   grocer
6.   white/blue   Nile
7.   pink   elephant
8.   red/scarlet   letter
9.   white/brown   rice
10.   red   square
11.   pink   slip
12.   yellow   journalism
13.   Thanks to dorothea’s hint below, …?… becomes grey (or gray in American spelling)   matter
14.   white/blue   collar
15.   red/scarlet   letter
16.   white   lies
17.   black   death
18.   blue   nose
19.   …violet   Shrinking…
20.   yellow   fever
21.   black   market
22.   scarlet   pimpernel
 
8 & 15: red and scarlet are different hues…(that’s my story and I’m sticking to it)
13: “dark” is not a colour / I went through all the colours of the rainbow, and nothing fit
If you’re a Poe fan, you could also put “red” as an answer to 17.

a hint
the answer to 13 isn’t a color from the rainbow. Think brain.

As I’ve said before, sometimes mine goes on vacation and doesn’t tell me. It’s fixed, with proper credit, now.

Number 18:
What is “blue nose”? I got brown nose (kiss butt to get ahead); or red nose (reference to Rudolph)

There are several possible and correct answers to a lot of them.

Typical reaction of an evil older brother!
(or insert your evil sibling here) I had a younger brother and a younger sister. {^¿^}

Indeed, Stel is missed. May she improve throughout the new year. Hang in there, Nighthawks, this is hard on us all.

HAPPY 2 NEW NOSES!

Today’s Songs:
1. ‘I Am The Walrus,’ 2. I Go To Pieces,’ 3. ‘ I Got You (I Feel Good),’ and 4. ‘I Love Rock ’n’ Roll,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. ‘Choco-Meringue Kisses’
1. John Lennon, acid, and Lewis Carrol’s ‘The Walrus and the Carpenter’ (interpret the lyrics any way you like). The background singers, and whoopers, are the 16 members of the ‘Mike Sammers Singers’, a professional studio singing group.
2. The video is not good, but the audio is, and I still like this ‘Peter and Gordon’ song (it was written by Del Shannon).
3. This James Brown penned song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013. I could not find a version of him singing the song he originally wrote , ‘I Found You’, which is almost identical to this, but Yvonne Fair’s 1962 recording of it (she was one of his back-up singers) is below.
4. The original (little harder) 1975 release by the British Group ‘The Arrows’ is below. ‘JOAN JETT & the blackhearts’ did a faithful reproduction though.
5. This is one of the rare times in baking when the top rack of the oven should be used.
