Had to look it up. After wading through a few postings about butternut squash, I found a definition calling it a “white walnut”, native to the US east coast and SE Canadia.
Hummp. Learned something new today. Before this, all I’d ever heard of were black walnuts.
The Butternut tree supplied the principle natural dye for Confederate uniforms late in the Recent Unpleasantness. This is why you see depictions of the Confederate troops at the Battle of Gettysburg wearing brown instead of grey.
Congratulations on getting another year’s worth of funding for Day By Day! Not sure what I’d do without my daily dbd. 🙂
BTW, I recently saw a Prager U. video on intersectionality. I never understood intersectionality, but now, after watching that video, I have a good concept of what a load of crap they are pushing.
So, after Saturday’s DOJ /FBI document dump, I find I am now wholly confused by the Trump Russia investigation: way too many political players, circular intelligence reports, and media a**hats pushing fake intelligence. Being a simple man (yes, repeating myself), I think I need a simple explanation for this bruhaha. Is there a way you can boil all this down in an “intersectionality” cartoon (or two, or three) that lists the main players and their roles? I know I’m asking a lot here, especially since your work will need to be updated as time moves on.
You are probably correct. The way the democrats, media, McCain, intel agencies, obummer White House, et al set this up, it’s a Gordian knot.

In a nutshell. Intelligence documents follow a specific style guide much like you have for thesis papers. Hillary et al hired Steel since as a long time spook, he knew how to write convincing looking Intel documents. What he wrote is essentially a direct rip off of a low end porno paperback novel, not that dissimilar to the lesser quality penthouse forums writings. THAT is what was presented to FISA to justify surveillance.
Yeah, but it’s the who did what with the fake intel, and the timing, that I can’t follow. It seems like every week an new player is outed and another road to follow is opened up.

The Preggers is speaking loud and clear.
No pickles to go with the ice cream?

My Dad loved black walnut ice cream and so do I!
Black Walnut can’t be beat.

My first inner child wanted BBQ. My second inner child wanted pierogies with mushroom gravy.
topped off with sugary poppyseed rolls, perhaps?
Home made Rye bread and Apple Strudel 🙂
What, no Tequila?
That’s for afters
And the baby’s colic.
Butternut squash with real butter. Can’t go wrong.
Yum!
The ranch will be heavily laden with estrogen in the coming days. Wade would be proud.
Somewhere Wade and Claudia are smiling!
(And a choir of angels is going “Squeee!”)!
Days? more like most of the next year! 🙁 Still waiting for Skye to catch it.
To paraphrase:
A revolution without ice cream is a revolution not worth having.
If Momma ain’t happy, then nobody’s happy.
If Grandma is not happy, RUN!
Get in my BELLY!
Butternut was also the color of Confederate uniforms in the later stages of the War of Northern Aggression.

A short week in the mountains without cell or wifi left me appreciating the archives, and happy to find that another year of DBD has been funded.
Very touching sentiment today. Thanks!
Woweee, the twins are sure growing up fast! Teen years SOON!
Hush your mouth.
I was shocked by their apparent jump in age…..
Chris,

Thanks, and again, congrats on another year!
drd.
Dunno man, untwisting all that out would probably take Chris a month of Sunday strips to sort out.

The rest is a shit load of hand waving.
