Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 17, 2008

Well, Claude, you have to admit that we haven’t seen any tanks around the neighborhood lately.

Clara, we also haven’t seen any elephants around either, but we didn’t buy her that elephant gun that she asked for. And you might remember that there were no elephants anywhere near our neighborhood before we got Cleo, either…or tanks.

Leland will turn to crochet once he sees Cleo lawn games.

Hooray, I have gotten my computer connected to the internet again. I have been stuck reading gocomics on my Kindle, with no link to Sherpa or the World of DT tweaks. My finger is ten times bigger than the like button on my Kindle, and as for typing – fageddaboutit.

The last few days of comments are hilarious!

What a coincidence! I’m fresh outta missiles too!

Well what’s a basset girl supposed to do without her missiles?

Play “fetch?” Chew some rawhide?

Yeah right. Do you think she’s just a dog?

 

Then again…. I haven’t seen any tanks in my neighborhood either.

Dunno whether that means anti-tank missiles are unnecessary, as Farside implies….

…. or that Cleo’s already been doing a great job.

 

That reminds me…. I meant to say a couple of days ago…

Nighthawks…. I know, I know. I didn’t really think Cleo would take anybody out to steal a taco cart….

She usually stops short of outright murder….

though I have to say, trying to run over a cat with a car wouldn’t be exactly like giving it a spa treatment.

 

Welcome back, Dennis… I was going to post tonight asking where you were.

I sometimes comment from my Android tablet after I go to bed.

I have a separate bookmark for Cleo on Sherpa….

and it’s a bit laborious, so I only I view some of the picture links …

I run my finger over it to highlight it, long press, and select “copy” ….

then I paste it into the address bar.

I’ve never had a Kindle…. won’t it do those things?

 

Anyway, my internet has been spotty for several days…

the other night I lost it for hours.

Tonight seems a bit better… I HOPE it stays that way!

Rats, I almost forgot to post this again…

Rotifer…

“Tincts” is an obnoxious crossword word….

and I just figured out 23 ac is “Stand the heath”…

Plush Material must mean the long entries are sayings “plus H”

 

It’s not like I have an addiction or anything….

Will she settle for missile toe?

Can I come live with the Cliffords? They can spoil me, too. Make the beds, make my coffee, cook the meals, open the wine, get the mail, do the laundry, make the bread, etc., etc., etc.

And buy your missiles, of course.
