Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 24, 2012

Hubert can’t afford a real “man cave”, so he has to make do.(Winkie the dog makes doo-doo.)

Just like to see her try. Mind the boiling oil.

Scooter’s making up his mind to swim the thing.

He can raise the bottom of the moat to make it disappear, and lower it to make it appear again. He has a remoat control.

Good one Dogsniff… Coyoty, too.A man’s chair is his castle…But unfortunately, there’s no kitchen within the castle keep.

So instead of hostility, might I suggest a little welcoming ceremony for the Queen.

That reminds me… you guys made me hungry for a gyros… which BTW always has an s on the end around here.I’m told it’s not plural, just a word that ends in S. I yearn for a gyros.

She should be careful about the crocodiles in the moat. Unless, of course, they are Pastis’ crocs.

When he starts quoting Shakespear’s Hamlet or Macbeth. Look out. Richard the Third? A king in his castle. Probably to protect him against those vicious, blackhearted Garden knomes. Every one knows they are evil creatures. Bent on conquest and swag. Not to mention wenches.

Ahoy, Ballard Street Ballardeers . heading the old galleon back to Ballard Cove and should be anchored and back in my happy home on Ballard Street tonight. If I dock early enough, I’ll stop by the Tiki Bar for a nightcap. See y’all then.

Now I’m invisioning him trying to stand up, the weight of the drawbridge pulling the chair forward hitting him behind the knees, some buckleing, flipping and extreme acrobatics later landing at her feet, looking up at her dazed and blurry saying “Just Try It” then falling unconsious . . . to be continued

Hubert hasn’t thought this through at all. All Veronica has to do is fetch a long rope, and anchor one end to the little tree on the left of the picture. Then walk around and around the moat a few times, hog-tying Hubert to his drawbridge in the process. Then she has access to the hosepipe from her side, and can administer a salutory soaking to her sanctuary-seeking spouse.Shortly after that, Hubert will be filling the trench back in and mowing the lawn like he should have done 4 hours ago. You don’t mess with the Mrs.!

Sitting here drinking……. A latte with a shot………Expresso. Heard those gnomes plotting and planning again. Just when I survived the first onslaught. The one on TV freaks me out. They are planning to take over. You can see it in their little gnome eyes. But I know their fear. Dogs. Males. Leg up. Problem solved. Put those gnomes in their place everytime. PEACE OUT.

What Hubert doesn’t know is that while he was busy working on his moat, Winnie was having the bedroom remodeled…….

…..and her moat isn’t as easy to cross.

Update:

Yesterday 1:30 PM CDT

I got a call from the transplant office to let me know that my insurance has authorized my transplant.

I am officially on the list of people waiting for a lung transplant.

And now we wait.

I probably won’t get the call for a while just because I’m healthier than a lot of others waiting.

Y’all have a great weekend! (((((HuGz!)))))

You’re in my prayers Plods!
