I hope you all have a tolerable New Year

It always does when you're around!

Where the heck'n you bin Gus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Years to you.

Just popping in to say hello & nice to see you, Gus, before I have to run.

I hope your new year is fairly tolerable, too.

We can only do our best, right?

Happy new year gus. Hope it all goes really well for you this year.




OY!
Down here.

Welcome back, Gus! Sorry to hear about you and Gertrude. But the humidity in Mississippi shouldn't bother you too much. After all, you're used to living in a "fetid swamp," right?

Wait a minute. Minnesota has swamps?

Something doesn't make sense.

Sorry to be an ignoramus about this. But who is Gertrude?

it's either his girlfriend or his mule

quite possibly both

Ah. Thanks, djjd.

Either way, my sympathy, Gus.
