I’ve been through plenty of small towns that look like that, all over the west.

I was married to a French Canadian woman and she got me addicted to Edith Piaf. (I never shared her appreciation of Charles Aznevour). I was very annoyed when this heartfelt song was used in a crappy commercial recently.

If she’s on a billboard… why is she on the loose?
Are bazooka-totin’ bassets legal in Cleveland?
Is quiet Cleveland about to become a base for badass basset behavior?
…
As a child in Cleveland Heights, I never heard that I’d one day have to hide from the horrors of Hell-raising hounds…

USAGE;
The preposition onto written as one word
(instead of on to) is recorded from the early 18th
century and has been widely used ever since, but is still
not wholly accepted as part of standard English (unlike into, for example. Many style guides still advise writing
it as two words, and that is the practice followed in this
dictionary. However, in US English onto is more or less
the standard form and this is likely to become the case
in British English before long. When used in the
specialized mathematics sense, the form is invariably onto.
Nevertheless, it is important to maintain a distinction
between the preposition onto or on to and the use of
the adverb on followed by the preposition to:she climbed on to (or onto) the roof but let’s go on to (not ontothe next point.
Cleveland, Caution?… hm suburb? or Cleo’s own state?
Comments are going to be terse here and sparse or non-existent for a while on GC while I deal with what I hope is just a flare up of my carpal tunnel syndrome that will calm down in due time (I hope it’s due shortly.) Its taken about 5 minutes to type this.
So. Y’all stay safe and have some fudge. (((((HuGz)))))

Divinity Fudge
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup ROGERS’ GOLDEN SYRUP
1/2 cup hot water
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 tsp vanilla (real not artificial)
Few drops almond extract (again real)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, almonds, or preserved ginger
Boil sugar ROGERS’ GOLDEN SYRUP and water until a little of mixture forms a soft ball when tested in cold water.
Beating continually, pour 1/2 of this hot syrup over stiff egg whites; blend well.
Return remaining syrup to heat and boil to hard ball stage, (260°F).
Slowly pour over egg white mixture.
Beat well; when thickening add flavorings, nuts or ginger.
Pour into greased pan to harden.
Notes from me:
Rogers golden syrup is a corn syrup.
Bolding in recipe is theirs.
My candy thermometer says soft ball stage is at 235°F.

Don’t let the “queasies” in your stomach get to you either.
And from the experience of an unwanted and unexpected ride to the hospital in an ambulance (resulting in a four day stay), do not, not, notEVER say to yourself, “I’ll just take one more anti-inflammatory.”
Good morning!
It’s 11:39 here, so i can still call it morning! 😀

I didn’t plan to be here today, but…….
We should have taken a 2+ hour drive to the Bozeman airport yesterday to pick up our younger daughter, S-I-L, and our 2 youngest grandsons (2 and 4). But, they were flying Southwest, and nobody was leaving San Diego. They managed to get a stand-by flight at 7:15 p.m. to Vegas. So they spent the night and will complete the trip this afternoon. So if I don’t comment for the next few days, it’s because I can’t get enough grandson smooches.
I make this one every Christmas, but only then because if I make it more often, I’ll eat it more often.
Chocolate Fudge
4 ½ cups sugar
2 sticks margarine
1 lg can evaporated milk

1/4 t salt
1 T vanilla
Mix milk, sugar and salt in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stir constantly. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat (simmer) cook for 7 minutes. Turn off burner. Stir in margarine, chocolate drops, vanilla and nuts. Beat until starts to stiffen. Pour in buttered pan.

Break the pencil — how to ensure that you have no opponents.
That makes her special!
What a pretty cat!
Then there is the original….
…and this one…
…and why not this one too…
Enjoyed all of those.
To me, Laura Nyro always sang her own songs best… even if they were huge hits for other people.
I’ve never understood why she didn’t become more famous as a singer, in her own right.aq
I agree completely with you.
I always thought we were speaking of Ohio in this strip.
That road looks more like Minnesota.
If you’re talking about the Cleo strip above…. to me, that could be Anywhere, USA!

Oh… what has happened there?
It looks like the Ohio Legislature was caught unaware.
So many questions………so few answers!
