Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 10, 2016

Nelson. you have been hiding your inner wry thoughts on life.

Residents of Ballard St aren’t supposed to be funny intentionally.

Nelson stopped by Larry’s table this morning,,,,,,,

I tried looking at “Almost Funny” but no luck. But this is almost funny. Hang on to that pole!

3 doors down, no one is stopping by Chuck’s table.

Nelson and Larry have some competition:

Chuck needs some comfy seating and beverages.

Bev,Some artistic license was taken, but at least the pic has the Smith Tower on the far right. Is this an artist’s rendering for after the viaduct comes down? Right in the bullseye, the kind of pink building is 98 Union, a condo where I have rented a unit to the same guy for 25 years. It has been painted, sadly.

Aw…. I love to see a baby joke being born…..Good job, Nelson.

We have to encourage this sort of thing.

I love to stop by Larry’s table on one of those rare mornings when he has the 5 hanging up.

I can’t say he tells five actually good jokes on those occasions… but the chances of a good one are higher.

As for me…I do all I can to encourage humor on Ballard Street….I even sell my used puns now and then, to help out….

Dennis…. I’m no mystic, like Madame Beviek….

But I think I have an idea of how she’ll answer your question about that picture of Seattle…..

I just close my eyes… and… y’know, it’s eerie, but I can almost hear her voice….and she’s saying….

“It’s pretty?”

I almost laughed. Almost.

Nelson has has a very dry sense of humor and not understood by too many folks. He is, after all, a retired CPA.

Tax Accountants do have a sense of humor…. but their jokes are hard to figure out.

I wonder if it had anything to do with “Half Nelson”…
