Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 10, 2022

No, Mildred, you’re the only one here who ever wears flip-flops.

A man who wears his pens, his pocket protector, and his cardboard inserts with such precision would never flip flop.

I always thought Francis was more of a Croc.

I think of myself as more of a flop-flipper — of course if that were true I could make a fortune turning movies like Ishtar and Heaven’s Gate into winners…

“I may flip, but I never flop.”

well, i am and i’m not

Right now, it’s too cold for flip flops.

Trick question Francis.. think carefully before you respond. Offhand though I think she is on to you.. That smile you gave Emily last Sunday at church gave you away.

“I flop my flip one time, and this is what I get!”

I was yesterday but today I’m not so sure. :)

Myrtle occasionally and unpredictably delivers herself of a gnomic outburst. Francis is used to it by now.

What political office is he running for ????? :)

She had just asked him what colour he wanted to paint the house. She’s narrowed it down to three. Now she’s back from her third trip to the paint store, and he wants to rethink the colour.

If it’s “your” party, the candidate’s position evolves. If it’s not, they’re flip flopping.

As long as he’s not wearing socks, right?

Not this time of year, unless Ballard is in a warm weather location.

Yes, I am. I mean, No I’m not!
