Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 05, 2019

And it’ll put the shoes on the blueberries.

That was never a really sharp neighborhood to begin with.

Looks left over from the saw-horse jumping party last week.

If only these spontaneous mattress events could occur at the same time Ballardians are falling off their porches.

If that were Portland Ore. a homeless guy would be sleeping on that mattress in about 1 minute

Once he hooks it up to the station wagon. They are going for a Ballard Street sleighride. Then we’ll see about the sharp edges.

He’ll have to sleep on it to decide if it’s a positive development.

I must be really tired….

It makes me want to take a nap.

He can say he’s sitting on the hedge.

My bad.

At first glance i thought that it would fit.

I guess i’m going back to that old yard chair cousin that i…

…um…

…borrowed from the back yard last fall.

Honest, Sheriff, i intend to give it back after the spring thaw! A bed of dried leaves and grass only goes so far in keeping out the cold.

I dunno…..i think there’s been an escape over the hedge…….

And, as we all know, nobody on Ballard Street should be allowed near any sharp edges (especially Mrs. Higglepooder’s sharp edges)…

Kind of a lounge chair mattress thing… I can see it being a comfortable place to watch the world go by. Probably start a trend in the neighborhood and everyone with a hedge will want one

Got a donation to the van fund! $150 ! Woo Hoo! :D

This weekend i get to be the rule that proves the exception.

I have a flu. A flu. Even though i get the shot every year, i was lucky enough to be the target of one that the CDC didn’t target. A minor variant. That or a new mutation.

Anyway, i’m sick.

And, i haven’t had the flu in years, so even a minor variant is enough to set me back on my…

…bottom.

Not much better this morning. Some symptom changes. Equally miserable symptoms. :/

Good morning Sheriff, wherever you are.

This cartoonist has a great sense of humor

Does anyone know why Ballard Street does not have a Sunday edition?

It may also cover the sharp hedges.
