Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 12, 2015

It’s Bob the square bottom!And headless to boot.

If Gertrude was smart, she would pick up those credit cards and skedaddle.

Well, I suppose reading and somersaulting both take you to new places…and give you a different outlook….

Other than that, though.. um…. no…

Meanwhile…X … if you’re about…care for a Tumbler?

@SusanActually I prefer reading. Especially the classics.

Well, X….that does look like some Ooold Reading Beer ya got there…

I’d open it for you…. but the beer can opener is as rusty as that can.

If Bob spends as much time somersaulting as I do reading, he ought to be in Tierra del Fuego by now.

TGIF, everyone.

Good morning everyone here on Ballard Street. Have a great day all. I was doing those stretches like Bob,after my ride yesterday. Peace. :)

For Bob it is simply a matter of mind over matter !

Ahoy Ballardeers,Pullin’ the ole galleon out of Ballard Bay early for a little weekend adventure. Be back at the rise ’o the tide on Monday. Stay dry on the outside and keep the innards well lubricated with your favorite liquid refreshments. Have a great weekend .

Well, we’ll all just have to catch Bob (and Linguist) on the flip side! :-)

He looks like he’s got a square bottom because he’s wearing boxers.

My back hurts just reading that……

Happy, I would give him a ten just for sticking the landing with his head……always appreciated the originality.

I thought Bob was practicing the fire drillTuck and Roll, tuck and roll.I actually would do that maneuver back when we did our physical fitness test called the scenarios. The last one you had, after some distance, run up to a dummy on the ground, drop to your back, then jump up on the dummy to subdue it.I would always coming Bob’s way.Nice shoulder roll making sure the back made ground contact and when I came up I was right on the dummy.Saved time.Also nothing beats a sixty year old being able to do that. Unless someone older does it.

Bob in his younger years.

He was at that awkward age.
