Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 19, 2023

she ain’t listening dude

Gerald, just explain to her how the bright lights make her appear to be 10 years older than she really is.

Way to go, Sheila! Steppin’ up your game on behalf of the ladies! Let no one think the men on Ballard Street have an exclusive license to commit eccentric behavior.

I’m in favor of it. We need more Sheilas.

Cuckoo for cocoa puffs

I would think the $1400.00 electric bill would at least influence her to change to LEDs.

It’s a part of her incandescent personality.

Sheila really needs to get those cataracts fixed

“All right, Reginald — here, behold the Gigantic Cube of Ice!”

Sheila likes to have good light for reading.

I worry that the fanciful name of Sheila’s grand device perhaps presages its future.

Old houses on Ballard Street… and those 16 amp fuses just ain’t what they usta be.

That could easily set the house on fire.

Good morning Balladeers and Susan!

Not the best position for that reading lamp, be better behind you.

“My nethers always get so warm…”

“Well, you did say ‘Socket to me!’…”

( ͡ ﹏ʖ ͡  )

Sheila loves to remind Albert of her need to screw.

The prototype disco ball .

Disco balls are so much more compact and energy efficient. :)

Or, can we forget the flame, and just have the ball???

Face it, she’s a Jerry Lee Lewis fan.

Sheila’s turn to have a ball…

Great balls of fire come to mind, unflatteringly.
