Thanks for your slide rule comments. It’s really nice to know that several of us have that in common.

Thanks, Nils. Thanks, Fred. No, it isn’t nuclear powered and it doesn’t need a battery. I’m  glad that my readers are so intelligent. Two weeks ago Bob S asked me if Enos ever got out of the cannibal stew pot. Yes he did, Bob. It happened in July of 2016:

This is Frau G’s dad’s old K&E. He got it ca 1937. Gee! It still works!

This is from January of 2011

My old friend Jayant Karnik gave me a foot back rub once years ago. He was a little guy. It was good. He didn’t just use his feet, he used his toes. BTW, I’m thinking about getting some tap shoes. I always wanted to tap dance. We have a big tile floor. When I walk around in my dress shoes I kind of tap dance. Drives Frau G nutz.

Yesterday I mentioned my old Dietzgen. I bought it in 1961 or 62. Top of the line. Over the years I gave it quite a workout.

Here’s another old single panel magazine cartoon:

Years ago, before we got hitched, Frau G and I rode some mules down the Grand Canyon. I developed a great respect for mules. Frau G is second behind our guide who was riding Mizell. It’s the only mule name that I remember. I’m third from the back. It had to be 1975.

I think I figured out what happened two days ago. I should be ok now. I discovered that if you click on a date in the calendar, sometimes you also have to click on the title that pops up to see the entire post. I don’t know why. Geeze. I got better ways to spend my time. I was happy with my old Dietzgen Microglide. Who needs computers? And since I posted the entire second week of the Elvis story yesterday, here’s an old single panel cartoon from about 40 years ago.

Somehow yesterday’s post didn’t make it. Something screwy is going on. Here’s the final week of the story. Tomorrow I’m going to see if I can figure it out. I’m thinking that my allotted memory on the server is maxed out. And, no, Tom. I am not dead.

Back in church from October of 2012…
