Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 14, 2016

Louie, you are really rocking our new fabric line, “Metamorphic”!

Some of these stories are monumental and heavy. Have you got something lighter but still gritty.

So…. what if I want some more stories for my rock?

Can I go back and get a refill?

And are those all a dollar each too?

Or are they priced by length, weight, complexity…. or what?

To hear Louie tell it, each rock’s story is unique, and has been told to him and him alone by each rock individually.

That particular rock is named Higbee , it came from England .

The big rock, or, Milton, traveled from the depths of the earth.

I’d share more, but I drifted away at that point.

Liverlips…..

Yeah…. but that’s cos Louie’s head is…. well….

a bit full of rocks.

Meant to say earlier….

Dogsniff……

I think Louie’s favorite music is hard rock.

He’s talking schist and she’ll be scree-ming any minute….

Its only Rock & Roll, but i like it.

Quick update on the van.I received over three hundred dollars in donations to the maintenance fund for the van since my client died.

Im going to see how much a “In Memoriam” to the back window will cost. If its not too much i think that his wife will be be pleased if i can make it happen.

Louie, originally, cashed in on the Gary Dahl’s Pet Rocks fad of the 70"s and made a pretty hefty living peddling pebbles.

.

Unfortunately, Louie got on a health kick and decided that he’d invest and market such great products as The Shake Weight, Sauna Suits, 8 Minute Abs, and even Exercise in a Bottle !

..

Needless to say, the only thing Louie lost, was money !

.

Now, 40 years later, Louise has returned to the sedentary sediment and regales residents with raucous rock stories.

.

For a modest fee, you can purchase one of these historical artifacts – or as Louie prefers to call them, Stones with a Story®.

HI!

I am.

Well, I’m trying to. I will admit that i have been mopeing around a bit.

That won’t last long though.

My boss is finding new people for me, and more use for the van.

And I’m okay with that. The more people i help with it, the happier i will be.

I am like Louie.Every rock does have a story. Some have fossils an some are beautiful. Well, there are some that are just kinda boring too.

Louie knows of one really big rock that has several stories.

Coyoty…. Wow…. even the Ballard County Courthouse only has two stories.
