    Whoa… I just got back to Ballard Street…..hi all!

    And I could see Glenn all the way across the street!

    Maybe Sandy is the one with the problem….a timely visit to Dr Odenhammer’s Optometry and Smoked Oyster Shack should tell a tale….

    Darn! I’ve missed everybody again, even Grog – the other early riser.

    I’m with everyone who thinks the colorist got something wrong. Or that there’s something wrong with Sandy’s eyes, although I doubt red-green color-blindness. It’s rare enough in men (7%), less than 0.5% in women. (Long ago I worked for ophthalmologists – glaucoma and neuro – and picked up all sorts of eye-related info.)

    Fenton? Monkeys? Could you find me another cuppa? …Thanks, keep the change.

    @Paco, I thought mostly men got that red/green color blindness. As I’ve mentioned before, I greatly value all my senses (and never endanger my taste buds with hot chilis or such). Have to LOVE Stel’s version of the coloration. That way it would make perfect sense. Susan, it can’t be chilly where you are (though it was wonderfully breezy here last night after my bath). I had to tie back my curtains to keep them in place (so glad my screen is back on). Just 67F at 7AM but it will be warmer today.

    OK…. I’ve been fighting my way back to Ballard Street for what seems like hours….

    Oh! Maybe cos it’s been hours…..

    Last night the site quit working, then as soon as I posted that it was back online….it quit loading again and wouldn’t come back.

    I was really tired so I went to bed.

    A couple of hours ago, while I was captive on the phone, I was …um…. taking a picture …..with my….. Ballard Street camera….. And when I tried to “develop” it…. that program shut down…. I thought without saving it….

    But I finally found it, saved but untitled….

    So finally, an hour ago, I posted a good morning, with two (count ’em TWO ) pictures….

    And then Ballard Street wouldn’t refresh…..

    and now I see that it didn’t post…..

    And my pictures aren’t here at all…..

    It’s not just green tea…. it’s chameleon tea….

    I admire her devotion…. but if Sandy keeps giving him chameleon camomile and then standing there….soon he will blend with HER….

    Already his green is fading to her colors….and when they go for walks people will be confused.

    bev, I haven’t seen that one on the tube in quite a long time. When it finally came out in VHS, I snatched up. It’s a good little who-dun-it set up in the form of a game by James Coburn after his wife is killed by a hit and run driver.

    Sandy, let’s be honest. You are doing it again. Countless encounters, therapy, in and out of treatment, taken the cure, chocked down the meds and looked for the lasting remedy….and you’re still looking right through Glenn. Sandy, he’s there, he’s real…by the way its 4:30 in the afternoon and you’re still in your robe…

    Depending on the temperature, what needs doing in the house and whether I have someplace I need to go – I may spend the whole day in a swimsuit, nightgown or even less (never sit naked on furniture tho’) LOL! Today I went to fill 10 gallons of purified water and stopped at the grocery for a few items, so I have silk slacks and a sleeveless top (even makeup and earrings). No one should HAVE to get dressed just because! Nakedness is nice!
