Combined with (according to BBC) “hairdryer wind”.
“Föhn” is what the falling (thus warming) wind coming from the Alps is called.
And “Fön” (brand) is a generic name for hairdryers here in Germany.
The ball drop has been a New Year’s Eve tradition since 1907, but was not held in 1942 and 1943 because of the wartime “dimout” of lights in New York City. The dim-out was a way to protect the city from attacks.
By WIKIPEDIA, it was a Christmas present from a group of friends (by the same article she was in New York City and worked first in a book store and then as an airline reservation clerk).
Here’s the complete ending.
To get it to work, copy only the U.R.L between the first ” and the last “, and then (I find it the easiest way) paste the copy into a new window you have open for the purpose (when you get there, you’ll have to start it).
The URL doesn’t work for me; I just get Yahoo’s best guesses as to what it might be. I tried as written, and then with the “[video src=" and final "]” removed. No joy.
It works fine for me if I take out all the video code including the quotation marks.
WordPress adds the necessary code, so unless you’re in the HTML editing mode, you don’t need it… in fact, putting it in the regular posting field messes it up.
Weirdly though, it won’t let me post it here without it. It’s a strange type of URL for a video.
I appreciate your concern… but, assuming that StelBel is one of the two you mean… I wrote quite a bit about her condition a month ago, on her birthday, December 6th.
AFAIK, it remains the same, sadly, and I really don’t want to write it again.
If you didn’t read it, it’s a good place to start.
Neither of us gets any communication from her family or her care facility. I can’t get more than a few words from her caregivers, or any response to the cards I send.
I can only hope that if there’s any news, good or bad, someone would let one of us know. And I’d certainly post about it.

If the other is Montana Lady… I’ve sent a few cards but I haven’t called lately, or heard anything.
I don’t like to bother them too often… Rita likes the calls but I can tell they’re difficult for her.
When I do I’ll post about it.

We’re also missing Perkycat, who seems to have returned to GoComics but… sniffle… not Cleo….
And I haven’t seen Dorothea lately.
The female contingent is pretty thin on the ground.
To you, and even to me, this is a rather strange scene…
I mean…. I was there, at Cleo and Company Productions.
I’m right there in it, but I still thought it was odd, to be walking down the street with a big star like Cleo Clifford, along with basset superheroes, and monsters….
But look how casually Claude and Clara are strolling along. Cleo is obviously unfazed, as well.
When you live in a comic strip and work in the movies, you get used to a lot of things we humans look at with awe, and sometimes don’t understand.
But as far as the puzzle goes, the finding nine differences…. that part I can figure out.
If you’re like to see how you did, after you try it…
I say one grasshopper, one katydid and a sort of an ill-defined cricket.

Personally, I’m amazed that Cleo can be around all that male bassetude without even batting an eyelash. I mean, Superbasset, Robin Basset, the Red Basset, even Bassetzilla and Frankenbasset. That’s a lot of testosterone on the loose, yet she seems only to notice the EWC. Jaded show biz star, I guess. Probably has her pick of the litter.

the terrible fires in California
I feel funny putting a like on it… .
I don’t like the event for sure.
It’s horrifying… And I have friends and family too close to it, though it’s 400 miles from me.
☹️♥

In LA they’re the Santa Anas. They’ve been fanning the flames.
That’s funny, naming hairdryers after the wind.
We should call ours Santa Anas… or haboobs.
Our helicopters copyrighted “Chinook”

Norman and Marion post shower
I guess they patched up their differences
Looks like maybe it took a few years.
the Captain
I loved Captain Kangaroo when I was a little kid. Perhaps because he was one of very few kid’s show options where we lived.
Before he was Captain Kangaroo, on that show which, BTW, he conceptualized, wrote, and sold to the network….
Bob Keeshan played the first Clarabelle on the Howdy Doody show, one of the earliest shows on television.
And he was still in his 20s when he started playing the grandfatherly captain.
Five dollars!! Let’s buy a whole bunch!
I bet we could sell them for a lot more!
Wait… That’s scalping right?
Not supposed to do that.
Tell you what…. Let’s all go see them, then pick up used tickets off the ground afterwards.
I’ve seen old Beatles tickets sell for a lot on eBay, even though the concerts were many years ago.
.
Pete and Stymie… in that order.
You’d think the names might be the other way round.
Stymie was very bright… Hal Roach has said he thought of him as the leader of Our Gang while he was in it.
chalk on sidewalk
Amazing, as are many of those trompe l’oiel sidewalk chalk drawings.
I can understand being good at drawing…
But making me think I’m going to fall into the sidewalk is another category.
The artist doesn’t have to have the artistry of Michelangelo, but does need an incredible grasp of perspective.
But no resemblance to Bat-Basset or Sparrow whatsoever!!!

And imagine them at night under the moon!
My guess would be choice d), in an attempt to discourage crowds from gathering during the pandemic.
Mine would
I think they were trying to keep Broadway dim at night just in case of bombing raids.
I’d think it would also apply to the spectacular brightness of New Year’s Eve.
I’m going to say 14 & 15.
Just a guess.
And, i’m wrong.
Nice shoulder roll!
Sounds like a pork roast😁

Wonder what job she had, that she could walk away from for a year.
Luckily the writing career must have worked out.
By WIKIPEDIA, it was a Christmas present from a group of friends (by the same article she was in New York City and worked first in a book store and then as an airline reservation clerk).
This one is really interesting. Here’s Wikipedia on LITHOGRAPHY. Beard calls it “Stone Lithograpy,” the stone being limestone.
Stone stone…
Is he throwing cheese on the cheeseburgers??!
On the not yet burger at least…
The others, on the other hand – we can’t tell. “Did you miss me?”
I just hope he unwrapped the slice(s):
“Foiled again!!!” – “ScoobyDoobyDooooooo!!!”
Not sure what you mean…. But the usual method here is to flip the burger when it’s cooked on one side.
While the raw side is on the grill, you put the cheese on the cooked side, so it’s melted when the patty is cooked through.
Looks to me like he was just tossing the last slice, and all 6 now have cheese on them, properly aligned.
Quite a feat!
I agree about the wrappers! A kid I knew tried to make his own grilled cheese sandwich, without permission, wrappers intact.
What a horrible mess! The frying pan never recovered.
Did he have good aim with the others or is it staged?
.
??
yes, but it would have been nice if they hadn’t cut it about a second too soon
That’s how you know it didn’t work…
Yes. Yes he is! 😀

Probably same happened to Alexi.
I must have missed something yesterday (maybe the end quote marks), but today, with the video stuff removed it worked.
Um… yeah… beginning readers.
Who are much braver than me.
When the guy that did those started he started with an alphabet book.

I have a copy of that one in my (still boxed) library.

Is there any news whatever about our two missing, and sorely missed, ladies?
I appreciate your concern… but, assuming that StelBel is one of the two you mean… I wrote quite a bit about her condition a month ago, on her birthday, December 6th.

The female contingent is pretty thin on the ground.
I’m here. Just haven’t had much to say lately.
Thanks!
I keep the candle burning on Ballard Street ten years in the past – Shikamoo and Dry and Dusty are still commenting there but not here.
Yes, I want trying to leave you out… I was only mentioning the missing.
Saucy and MeadowMary are here as well… And I’m glad to hear so is Dorothea.
If I’m leaving somebody else out… I’m sorry, whoever you are… My brain is fuzzy at the moment.
I was referring to Shikamoo and Dry and Dusty.
Thank you, Nighthawks, for an easy one this week.
Clint Holmes’s song may date from 1972, but the Elvis stamp was twenty years later.

Ta Da!
Got eight very quickly, the ninth one took a bit longer, but I guessed where it probably should be so concentrated on that area and found it.
Right! Got 9.
And the real star in this set is you!!!
Seven. Again.
9 all during the first video.
Nighthawks posted it there.
I say one grasshopper, one katydid and a sort of an ill-defined cricket.

Hey… Clara and i are not male bassets!
Neither is Claude.
LOL… true.
