Sorry I’ve been AWOL a lot lately. I’ve been getting treatments (OPAT) for an infected toe since December. On Monday I had to go into hospital to get it amputated. Home now and feeling much better.
Most unfortunate. I hope it will be a solo event and that it won’t cost you too much mobility. Do the PT religiously! Even though your days of world class competitive ballroom dancing are almost certainly behind you.
So glad you’re feeling better, um… you know… in spite of your loss.
It seems strange, that with all the advances in medicine and all the “miracle” drugs, there are still infections in 2023 that they can’t stop without resorting to that.
Hope you’re soon back to normal…
I suppose I shouldn’t say things like “or 9/10ths of normal, anyway”, so I won’t, ok?
It did miss me. Nice sunny Spring weather here (and of course I’m still a shut-in.) Rain for the weekend (naturally) but no atmospheric rivers in sight!
This site went down for me, I’d say a couple of hours ago, when I was attempting to submit a longish comment about the comic.
I hit “post comment” and the page disappeared, and wouldn’t come back.
I don’t know whether it was out the whole time… I kinda wandered away for a little while if you know what I meazzzzz ZZZZ…. huh? Oh.
….
On GoComics, I always highlight and copy my comments before submitting them, in case the site glitches, or I need to immediately delete and repost to fix an error…
But since we can edit, I don’t do it here. Oops.
Now I have to try and remember what I said… Or try to think… Or try to remember how to think… I think you get the picture.
….
Anyway… Back to Casabasset… which, like Dennis, I’m glad that we are.
In spite of what I said yesterday about Ms Bergdog yesterday, Ilse really does look quite beautiful in the airport scene, doesn’t she… sniffle.
I was a young teenager the first time I saw this film, or that I remember seeing it anyway…. and that scene made me cry.
I was too young to understand the loyalty and patriotism that made her get on the plane… I wanted the romantic, happy ending.
….
Well, I still want the romantic happy ending… I’m just that kind of girl…. But I know by now that you can’t always have what you want, and that duty or righteousness sometimes exerts a powerful call.
Sometimes I wonder whether growing up was such a good idea.
(Of course, I do know that some people would ask what I know about that anyway, since I haven’t finished the job. But hey, I’m more grown up than I used to be.)
….
Meanwhile, I love the artwork today… With special notice to the facial expressions… and to the hats and the great trenchcoat.
Yes, very moving. And very interesting watching the original cast viewing what was unfolding in front of them :: the faces… One watching contemplatively; one watching critically to the presented offering. At times, one or two almost becoming tearful. All of them in awe and in wonder. As they should. And as we should, too.

Seems to me that this one doesn’t bother to hide the “magic”.
The pipe going up and down is quite visible.

By Google Maps it’s only 3 1/2 hrs. a little south of west from Munich.

….comes from
HERE
This must be from the Montgomery Burns estate.
I need that.
where can i get one?
Hey! A button for Claude to push.
I found this:
Dogs (doorbelldesigns.com)
Sorry I’ve been AWOL a lot lately. I’ve been getting treatments (OPAT) for an infected toe since December. On Monday I had to go into hospital to get it amputated. Home now and feeling much better.
Dang! 🙁
Most unfortunate. I hope it will be a solo event and that it won’t cost you too much mobility. Do the PT religiously! Even though your days of world class competitive ballroom dancing are almost certainly behind you.
Ouch!
OMG… Sorry to hear about that, Steve.
So glad you’re feeling better, um… you know… in spite of your loss.
It seems strange, that with all the advances in medicine and all the “miracle” drugs, there are still infections in 2023 that they can’t stop without resorting to that.
Hope you’re soon back to normal…
I suppose I shouldn’t say things like “or 9/10ths of normal, anyway”, so I won’t, ok?
Cos the well-wishes really are sincere.
Unlucky that it didn’t heal, lucky the infection didn’t spread…
Get better and stay healthy!
Yeowch! Glad that you’re on the mend.
Here’s wishing you the best recovery possible from such an event.
I had to look up
O(utpatient) P(arenteral) A(ntimicrobial) T(herapy)
Then I had to look up “parenteral.”
By the internet….
….adjective MEDICINE:
administered or occurring elsewhere in the body than the mouth
I had to look it up too! (I thought it was Out Patient Antibiotic Therapy. And parenteral was a new word for me too!)
whoa! an infection that cost you your toe! so glad you’re feeling great now, steve!
So sorry to hear that. I hope that ends your problems. Take care!
Gosh…I’m so sorry you had to go through that ordeal. Glad to hear you’re on the mend!
Take good care, JPS.
I don’t have anything else to add to the wishes from those ahead of me. Only that I am also thinking of you.
Glad to see you finishing up the Casabasset story. I felt unfulfilled without the final scene.
It never rains in Southern California, huh? Well it snows!
No rain, right…
Well, we’re getting a brand new “atmospheric river”…
Something’s falling heavily from the sky… beating on my roof…
And it ain’t peanut butter and jelly.
….
I just looked at a radar map, which shows rain on the west coast from Puget sound, getting Dennis, to Thousand Oaks, just north of LA…
Except it’s pulled back inland from the Oregon coast, and it hasn’t yet reached L.A., the beach towns or San Diego.
But don’t worry, by morning, all that will be soaked.
Sorry Happy³.
….
It’s supposed to move inland, off of my stretch, but pound the South Coast…all the way on down to Tijuana…
getting a couple more of us, who I won’t mention by name if i haven’t seen them post their whereabouts.
…
JP Steve, it might just miss you (if you trust weather forecasts) …
Right now it’s hitting Vancouver Island from Nanaimo south, but supposedly not moving east.
…
In a few days, lots more will be coming.
I think the weather gods didn’t want to hear any more whining about how the last storms flooded cities but didn’t end the drought.
I’d rather the rain than the snow.
and we’re having a really HUGE snow storm!
We are, too. Snowing all day ~ like we needed more. I would much rather have rain…. it goes away a lot faster and usually comes with warmer temps.
To PC and ML:
Hang in there, ladies! SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!!
It did miss me. Nice sunny Spring weather here (and of course I’m still a shut-in.) Rain for the weekend (naturally) but no atmospheric rivers in sight!
Yeah, just to be clear… I’m not complaining about the rain, at least, not for where I live.
We’ve been in and out of drought for decades; the last 4 years of it unbroken, so we need the water.
It’s a bit inconvenient but no big deal.
For the most part, too, the rain clouds make it a little warmer.
I’d much rather have rain than snow… though it’s also showing in places that ordinarily never see any.
….
There have been floods and mudslides in areas where what should have been a good thing, abundant water, turned into devastation…
They’re allowed to complain about the rain; I’m not.
…
I was only replying to the allegation that it never rains in California…
Though if you listen to tihe lyrics, he’s only saying it ironically, anyway…
Cos then he finishes the old expression:
“but it pours.”
blueberry popover
It is also ranch dressing day today.
From: “Breaking Bread Together”
Alton – Caledon United Churches
Printed by Brampton Printing
October 1985
“RANCH DRESSING” Credited to: Milisa Godson
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. MSG (monosodium glutamate)
2 tsp. minced onion
Mix all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate overnight before using.
Notes from me:
I’d skip the MSG and put in a tsp. of salt instead.
I think I’ll skip the ranch dressing on my blueberry popovers, thanks…
I was actually thinking the same thing. LOL
If it has blueberries in it, I’m in favor of it.

And yes it’s nice to have closure.
susan, dear…. don’t ever grow up!!!
And remember, “we will always have the dog park in Paris”! Love that line!
I came across this for the second time as part of one of my meanderings from already posted videos.
I cannot see anyone here not being moved by this.
Yes, very moving. And very interesting watching the original cast viewing what was unfolding in front of them :: the faces… One watching contemplatively; one watching critically to the presented offering. At times, one or two almost becoming tearful. All of them in awe and in wonder. As they should. And as we should, too.
So well done. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting it.
Wow! Now that’s a cover!
i love the closing episode of ”casabasset”. we’ll always have that dogpark in paris… such a sweet sentiment!
