Ctsheehy, I would like to second that. I'm up early this morning, in spite of getting to bed at 3am, to tend the ribs for lunch...in the oven this time because it's pouring down rain outside. Not good for fireworks, but my tomatoes, corn, and chilies love it.
Define "reasonable hours". I work 3pm - 11pm this evening, then 11pm - 7am the next 3 nights. It's employment though, and some of us like working when management isn't around. :)
Have a happy fourth everyone. And that means you too Celine. I know today isn't your independence day, but enjoy the day anyway.
HAPPY FORTH OF JULY! May we all have such "full and interesting" lives that sleeping in becomes the luxury it's meant to be, because we're doing fulfilling work for a decent wage, working reasonable hours, have leisure activities we truly enjoy, and friends and loved ones surrounding us! (hey, I can dream, can't I?) Now go use the power of the ballot box and the right of free speech to make it so (and some of us should quit obsessing over perceived foolishness in comics and enjoy them for the silliness and laughs they're meant to provide, Celine!).
I’m waking up long enough to say that “sleeping in”, is the punch line that Johnson setup in Monday’s strip. Of course, that was when we were informed that he won’t get to do that again because “holidays, of course, might be one of those things that goes when the US completes its transformation into a low-wage economy ran by and for a few elite who live in heavily-protected communities.” Or that sleeping in on a holiday is an indicator of “small ambitions.” As for me, since I too have small ambitions, I’m going back to bed. Happy Birthday, America!
I always thought Arlo was more full of life than this. Well, if he has such small ambitions, I suppose he has to take whatever tiny 'advantages' he thinks he has. What about having such an interesting life that sleep is an unwanted necessity?
