Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 02, 2018

NO, Cory, NO!!!

Cory had better get his track shoes on!

I have a feeling that Cora doesn’t share his fascination.

Good thing he isn’t fascinated with man hole covers.

I like the home interiors in Ballard, Lots of color. If we were selling our home, an agent would probably tell us to paint the whole thing white. We have colors on all our walls (but white trim throughout). My kids, now adults, were allowed to choose their colors. My daughter’s room is a venomous green, and my son’s is saturated red white and blue. In their 30s, they still like it. Living rooms are more relaxed, but the two kitchens are definitely for people who like color! I spent enough of my life in beige rentals, thanks.

Cory is sure that Cora will be head over heels with glee over his new demonstration.

Now if Cora was getting up, this could be O.K. But you shouldn’t wait until she’s partially up!

Chair lift with a non-skiing application.

Carmella is gonna hit the ceiling, literally!

How fascinating.

I think Cora is going down while Cory is thinking “up.”

But Cory’s gonna go down… after his plan goes down.

 

And yeah…. people on Ballard St like to express themselves.

If they want to dress up like chickens or raccoons….

lob watermelons out the window…. ride wooden horses…

you name it… they do it.

 

From puffy shirts to naked behinds… they wear what they like…

and it extends to living rooms with purple walls….

or pairing chartreuse couches and pink tables with the odd blue lamp.

This white wall actually looks quite tame, by Ballard Street standards…

Good thing the green chair and lavender rug liven it up.

Coffee On Keyboard, or COK… oh,wait…

Cory is going to be disappointed when that aluminum tent pole bends.

Good morning, Sheriff.

Next fascination – “trajectory”…

Mr. Amerongen, how do you come up with these things. it just cracks me up it’s so silly! :-D

“Give me a lever and I’ll move Cora…”

He found a use for the fruitcake.

Cory, if your goal is to get Cora airborne, I don’t hold out much hope for success.

Unbeknownst to Cory, Cora has replaced his aluminum pole with a steel leaf spring.

Cory.. hoping that Cora will feel the earth move.. might be inclined to get frisky.
