Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 13, 2024

Ah, but you should have seen what you just missed, right before turning on the set!

The Ballard St. Sheet Metal and Fabric Shoppe only had enough material for half of a set of pajamas, lets be glad that he opted for the pants instead of the shirt.

I know it’s rude of me, but just wondering, how are they going to fit on that bed?

If I’m not watching then I won’t know what’s going on in the world, and I like it that way.

So, if they were watching it wouldn’t have happened??? Slackers!!!

I turn on the news as soon as I get up to make sure the world is still there.

Lately it’s been the same horrors over and over again.

Judging by the age of the set, it’s all old news anyway…

All sorts of weird and wonderful stuff goes on.

What’s going on behind your back is happening right in your face!

We do our bit.. it’s the folk in other time zones that are letting bad stuff happen.

nice flat calves…

I see he tuned in to the Ballard Broadcasting System or as it is commonly known, the Big BS.

Good morning Balladeers!

One of my sibling’s in-laws was a news junkie. He wasn’t Superman who could leap into action so I couldn’t figure out why it was so important.

Sneaky snakes.

for many of us, we probably prefer NOT to know what is going on in the world when we’re not watching- even when we ARE watching!

In BS it’s Hanky Panky.

" I just don’t CNN’d to this bad news."

That’s because the world has been waiting for you to turn away for a moment, just so it can erupt.

our local news informs us that one of the things going on in the world while we weren’t watching was a 61-yo farmer deciding to stroll naked through his neighborhood. he told the police that he didn’t know the reason why… ☺

Orrin misses a lot when the T.V. is off. He doesn’t know that the world just waits for him to turn off the T.V. so it can do all that stuff.

Good night, Ballard Dears!
