Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 07, 2013

Gene, be careful, your magazine may burst into flames.

He doesn’t look easy to set on fire.

maybe it was the beans he had for lunch?

This could be a real test of Gene’s asbestos underwear.

Vivian accidently caught her eyelashes on fire. Gene didn’t notice.

Larger view.

Vivian has about as much chance of interrupting Gene’s perusal of this month’s special issue of Ballard Life with her smoldering focus, as she would by setting the house on fire.From long years of practice, Gene has learned to be impervious to glares and grimaces, and deaf to grunts and growls.

I wonder if Vivian is related to Diamond Lill.

: D

Vivian }—→ }—→ }—→ Gene

Gene seems to be making an unsuccessful attempt to concentrate on his magazine and Nathan seems to be more agile than most of the folks on BS in spite of and core strength problems.

and I wondered if Happy saw this Mutts

I love the poppies in Marg’s new avatar, similar to the O’keefe I did in stained glass. It lives in the sunny bay-window of my kitchen (straight through from the front door).

@SHIKAmoo last nightre: “It’s good to see Munkey tonight. How is Your Dad, Munkey?”++++++++++++++Tanks fur aksin sHikA…!!Glad tu bee bak in teh saddel, sew tu speek…yep, poPs is doin mutch bedder, rehabbin at teh nursin hoam.. heez makin new frenz..!!!

Not unlike Diamond Lil’s “withering glare”.

Gene seems to care not at all.

Reminds me of some of the looks I would get when I stopped folks for traffic violations.And I was just like Gene.Do what I gotta do and leave.

SUSuN!!!!!!Wares teh lid fer teh grinder…???dont wanna mayk a mess,,,,lass tyme ah tryd usin it widout teh lid we had nanners awl over teh walls, an thet aint gud fur bidness….

Careful, it leaks…

@Susan, I was serious when I asked if there is a search criteria for salons as I want a GOOD cut/style and someone to not only provide but give a quickie lesson in attaching some clip on pieces (I figure one fall around most of the back and a few little sniplets- but all clip-ons (no glueing or knotting). I have a few people who may give me a clue (but ladies in SCA and birders (much less hawkers) don’t bother with such vanities). I will find a salon in Phoenix/Scottsdale area as I live rather on the northern border of those. My dentist said his wife may recommend one but that’s the most positive feed I have so far and online ads have not been great so far (taken me off course).

Dancing Fever pre Weekend

was feeling the British Invasion…now just our guys during puperty (sort of-was fully pubertied…*lol*…)…

Night all.

Time to go upstairs (and I already finished my whole pot of tea). The music was too much my children’s style.

does the tiki bar serve tanduay and fried bananas? nothing like drinking a tanduay rhum in a hollow pineapple with shaved coconut in it and eatin fried bananas……….mmmmmmmmmm

just ask the sherrif if he knows about drinkin tanduay,….. man I can tell you some storys ’bout him in his younger days.

Ever buddy ignore teht lion munky"boy"… Don’t lissen tew a werd he sez…. Don’t enkeredge him an DONT feed him eny beans wit his yak ribs an biskits… Y’all be sari…Jes sayin…

Monkey!

Great to see you….

Hey, I don’t think these guys know just how BIG that grinder is!

And the lid was on it last time I saw it…..hmmm….too cold for those kids to have “borrowed” it again for a raft on Lake Ballard…..Have you seen anybody sliding down any hills?

Do you know that new monkey?Has he ever been known to go dirt-boarding?

Oh. You mean that kind of smoldering. I thought you meant the other, more fun kind.

Who else?
