If simple, inexpensive plastic baby dolls can be made that cry and wet, an intricately designed ….. er….Lego dog can surely be programed to slobber, stop and sniff, and chase cats….maybe even “poop” something…. Just add fleas…. real or mechanical.
I don’t have any of those furry Lego pieces….. I gotta find out where you get those.And buy a little gas motor, too, I guess.Maybe that’s why my Lego dogs never look quite as good as Gary’s.

That wonderful color-changing glitter has been custom developed in a design partnership between my salon and x_Tech Industries … I design the color profiles…they do the research, engineering and manufacturing, and ship directly to salons.
It is not sold in ANY stores, as it must be applied by a trained professional…. I’m a certified XTI Glitterologist, Level 4, and will (fingers crossed) receive my Level 5 Certificate in September….and hold the exclusive Ballard County distribution rights.

Gary is lost in a day dream and what a blessing it is. Back in the day before dope replaced Popular Mechanics, Gary was a Sunday afternoon genius. Quite handy, somewhat innovative, always practical, his ideas launched a thousand dreams. But now, not so much. He realized his days were getting shorter and shorter; that’s what happens when you take a nap in the morning. He realized his follow through wasn’t what it used to be. His long term goals can be defined by the expiration date on the pasta sauce and his vision of the future is next week’s History Channel broadcasts. He’s not complaining mind you, he knows this chapter is closing and he just wants to sleep it off. He’ll be better and better for it. Life on Ballard Street really is enjoyable, and any way how many can walk a dog without a doggie bag. See, getting better already.
My husband is out of town, he asked me what I was going to do while he was gone. I told him I was going to hang out at the Tiki Hut and drink daquiris. I was also going to have my toenails glittered. He looked at me like I was crazy! (true story)
As I understand it, the Tiki Hut is a metaphysical concept where we can all be at one with alcohol, fellow human beings, snicker doodles (whatever they are), anthropoid bartenders, a few firemen, and yak burgers. Ballard Street seems to be a spiritual aorta of friendly folk, all searching for THE place to be. Personally, I like my hypothetical house designed by Roger Dean with constrictors, capybaras and monotremes in the grounds. A few sloths live there too..What’s that about a mental institution?
Sun is setting; time to make a pot of tea and head upstairs for a soak before bed. I’ll have Cinnamon Apple Spice today, with a shot of Hawthorne extract (I added some saffron last night, but hard to drink with loose strands) yummy though.

At least a normal dog will wait for the fire hydrant before it starts leaking.

But I think Bev and I agree… you just can’t get the heart exactly right….
SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
Bev…. why would you ask Stel, and not the person who is standing right here in the Tiki Bar,
and who will be packing you a nice Yak ’n Snack lunch for the road?

SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
Dog…. LOL!
I was wondering whether you’d weigh in on that!

Susan, I looked for you at the Farmers’ Market but I guess you had already gone to the Fair.

SusanSunshine Premium Member over 11 years ago
Hi X! … sorry I missed you.
Nice photo, though….the tomato booth is about two stalls to the left…. we try to stay upwind of the Road Kill.
But yeah…. opening day of the fair today….of course, I couldn’t go till after Bev and Stel’s appointment.

Gary is the one who likes streaking; the dog idea is better for the neighborhood than THAT.

I’d better say good night before I fall asleep here. Have fun Ballardeers!
