Sunday morning comics!! OK, I guess it was Sunday evening before I got to read these, but it is all part of the ritual and all that.

I continue to get caught up in this saga, and love the pictures that portray the actual history.

They finally made it to Arkansas!!!

They still had a ways to go once they got into Arkansas territory as the Petit Jean river is in central Arkansas. But they fortunately got to travel through some gorgeous areas (the Ozark and Boston mountains) to get to the Petit Jean.

With the rains we’ve gotten of late I can just picture how the swollen streams they encountered looked.

I would consider throat cutting after breakfast to be a major violation of the traditional rules of hospitality-something worthy of Procrustes. Nonetheless, I admire the notion that would have a man feed two hungry strangers whom he actually hated as a class. That goes one better than the Good Samaritan who merely helped a man who might have hated him.

How would I react? I am not sure. Would I give breakfast to someone I suspected of being an Al Qaeda agent? A Communist? Cleon Skousen? To Christopher Hitchins? A homeless guy? It is a good question to ask yourself. If you are someone who thinks I might hate you, please come to breakfast. I may not let you in, but I promise not to curse you.
