Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 27, 2013

For Scruffy ( who is reaching for it now ) his #5 means : You better get me outside, pretty quick… or else !

1 is the worst? 10 is the worst? Which way does it go?

Good night/morning all. I’m off to zzzzzz,

I’ve got to say that this is one that could do without the color. All it seems to do is distract from the artwork.

He’d din fer teh fridge… See y’all in teh mornin..!!!:())

Anybody still up?

I’m not…oh wait….I guess I’m here….zzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

Kinda..

Monkey, when you go back there, I hope you see the posts I left you on “yesterday”….

Anyhow…. I think I’m a 9 right now…or is that a 2?

If 1 is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed…. I’m a 9….maybe an 8.23….cos it’s been a looong evening…..part of which was spent waiting, all alone, in a dark gas station,till 11pm…and wishing I had driven Elvis….

A Triple A hero magically started my little Saturn, instead of towing it…But if you don’t see me much tomorrow, we’re at the car doctor….

Two words: Anger. Management.

Body function works well with a binary system.

101010

The Hemalshots have tried several different systems…

Herb always loved the Darth Vader character in Star Wars, but Hazel started having bad dreams…

So, Hazel chose her favorite actor (“…why hasn’t he been nominated for an Oscar?” she wonders…), but both Herb and Scuffy had some difficulty in determining the subtle changes of expression that Steven Seagal is capable of…

The COMPLEX COLOR AND CODE CHART just didn’t work for Scuffy, since his eyes weren’t made for detecting color in the same way as his human companions and he usually mistook dark moods for playtime…

The FACE CHART didn’t include canine faces…

…and the CANINE CHART didn’t include humans…

The MUSTACHE MOOD KIT worked great for everybody…………..until the adhesive wore off and left family members clueless…

Sooooo….the NUMBER SYSTEM held a lot of promise, until Scuffy’s flea attacked underneath his “number halter”….what will they try next? Verbal communication? Scuffy did order Rosetta Stone …..

My man says he’s fine any time that I’m around and I feel the same. I still think it is best that we aren’t together ALL the time, because he might eventually get bored. On the other hand, my imagination will suffice when I’m alone and I love telling him the details ;-D

Scruffy don’t care about no numbers. There are crazed flying cats about and those pesky squirrels running amok.Just that dang number holder keeps blocking his doggie door exit.DONT YOU SEE HE HAS TO ………………..“SQUIRREL!!!!!!”Sorry got side tracked.What were we talking about?

I like the Helmet rules. Safe “No Helmet required”BAD “PUT HELMET ON”Owe this to that dang drunken Texas comedian. Tater Salad.

I’ll be scarce tomorrow and Friday too. I have a funeral to go to tomorrow, and then a service at night. Stations of the Cross on Friday, out doors, followed by another service. Saturday is an Easter vigil at 8:00 p.m., and three services on Easter Sunday.

Good Night, Ballardeers.

Time to go upstairs and have a nice warm bath before bedtime. I’m still not back into church yet, especially not for going on one of those Holidays where others go “just because”! I still prefer prayers at home outdoors. I dislike crowds of strangers (not crazy about big crowds even when I used to go to everything).

Ouch.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
