Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 07, 2015

Chet puts a lot of effort into creating that fine lawn and he doesn’t want anybody thinking it’s open for barefoot traipsing..

And then he went and bought the “store brand” of fertilizer. If a little is enough then a lot is way better is his motto much to his detriment. That applies to food and women too Chet.

Chet got tired of defending his property line, so he coaxed Ranger to do it for him.

Good dog!

Chet gave up on fish, fruit seems to be more profitable.

It was a video of Ling’s BBQ. It all started when Chet, got bored and tried to replicate the Scene from Tonga the Jungle Queen ($2.99 at the Adult Book and Artificial Flower Emporiam)You know the one, where Tonga walks across hot Coals for her lover the ravishing Sea Captain?

…………well the board caught fire, and the stash of fireworks that were in the garage ……..oh it’s too too horrible to recount here.Best party ever!

Lighten up, Chester. A simple “No Trespassing & No Soliciting” sign will suffice.

Well, you see, part of Chet’s suddenly feeling protective of his boundaries is the proliferation of boundary businesses….Not only did he have hassles from passers-by, he had competition from neighbors…First Roger borrowed his table for a “project”… which turned out to be very similar to Chet’s own idea…

And soon there were several others, even Dartyl with his cheesy scheme…

So of course Chet was stressed… everything seemed against him…even his dog grew disobedient…No wonder he became a thrillseeker, started fires, etc…. Then he realised… Darryl’s business was successful because it was cheesy…

I mean… what sells better than nosiness and sex??So…. he decided to spice up his offering…First… the birdsNext, the bees….

But he spent so much time researching… you know… the birds and the bees….

He… um…. Well…. except to make sure about his lot line…. we don’t see him outdoors as much lately…

Good morning everyone. I feel bad for Chet,mood disorder is a terrible thing. ‘for the passerby’. Peace. :)

Chet has always walked that fine line between insecurity and insanity. On good days he simply wants to instruct the world about minutiae. On bad ones, he obsessive compulsions surge to the forefront.Saturday’s fiery fiasco was a perfect example of Chet unchained.

Chet is channeling his inner dog right now. Mindful of the property line. As we watch (DONT LOOK ETHEL!!) he will soon show us how he marks his territory.

♪♫ “Because it’s mine”, Chet walks the line… ♪♫

Great Ballard Street story from all of you! I enjoyed it. I’ll be back to see the rest of the story.

He needs a fence by this sidewalk.

You know you’re starting to get too close to things if you give them names. This goes for cars, computers, cell phones….And that’s just the "C"s.

@MistWho doesn’t love Kermit? Excellent.
