   The identity of ‘them’ isn’t very clear. Trump and his co-defendants? Keri’s toes? Polar bears?

   Suicides, being considered unnatural deaths, are investigated by the police (although not MCUs) ’cause a lot of murderers hope to get lucky and have the death considered a suicide. Entirely reasonable for an officer to be looking at the case.

   And should something smell it may indicate something is rotten in Denmark… Or possibly even closer to home. In that case, who ya gonna call? Dick Tracy!

   Absolute evidence of bows and arrows 10,000 years ago. Evidence that suggests bows and arrows 20,000 years ago. Speculation that it could be 70,000 years ago (But, hey kids, that’s speculation. Pick a number, any number, between 20,000 and 200,000 from your hat.)

   But, of course, that doesn’t mean every human society had bows and arrows. The question will be what social factors kept Valthor’s people from inventing the bow, or, if they had the bow and arrow a thousand years ago why it was no longer required and was forgotten many generations ago.

   Or it could be sloppy writing. We occasionally see that.

   Only a small % of the number of people who die in the bathtub. She’d be safer giving up baths… Or has she done that already?

   So what was on the to-do list? Anything other than ‘Eat’ and ‘Sleep’?

   Sage words of advice I’ll treasure… along with my 78 shellac recording of Never Hit Your Grandma with a Shovel by Spike Jones and the City Slickers.

   Retain or release… Which would you rather have him do?

   I like to think of it as a mutual conflagration.

   We are not always cautiously optimistic at the start of a new arc. We are frequently cautiously optimistic. Sometimes a story crashes and burns by the 3rd panel.

    Aioli is something of a buzz-word. Every restaurant mentions it. Diners don’t really know what it means. But it sounds faintly exotic so it must be good. There is some sauce served on the dish that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike aioli and they accept it as aioli. Many / Most of them are pretty good.
