Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 22, 2015

We are up and running again, only an hour late, and now I’m apparently the only one still awake.At least the Tiki is still open, I’ll bet that is where every one is.Hello?

At least he’s not up the flue.waiting for GXC to update.

i’m so sorry I had no idea it was a family thing, Clarence and Vivian’s granddaughter has been doing it for years.

She got a new perspective all right….she won’t come down.

Chesney wishes Clarence would find a different perspective.

Gosh, 2old… the Tiki never closes!NEVER.

NO matter which hours we actually work, ourselves, the Monkey and I each make sure it’s staffed from 6 to 6, on opposite sides of the clock.

I think he has a key, someplace… but since he bought the place, I’ve never seen the door locked.

And I seldom go to bed before the earliest east-coasters (US) are getting up.

Bev asked whether anyone would like to join her for yak ribs and fries…. so Fenton made up a couple of Yak ‘n Snak plates.He says it took 5 minutes, but when he brought them out, she’d already said goodbye and gone home to sleep!

So….anybody hungry?

We’ll give you 30% off…..and they’re already the late night special this week.

I’m up and i’m hungry, waiting for the turn does that.Thanks Fenton and Susan!Yum! Nothing like a plate of ribs and fries to put me to sleep!

You’re welcome, 2Old!

Enjoy!

I always seem to get here after everyone else has gone home. Oh well…..

Good morning BS’rs.My Spotty dog,slipped on some ice and has a limp now. We went for a ride yesterday and he could NOT get in the car;legs splayed out and under the car,I caught him and lifted him into the back seat.sigh. :( Peace.

My comment for this was “Alf on the shelf”, but the new day’s comics were late in being loaded, so I went to bed.

This is a fine, longstanding tradition in men’s clubs. Do you think the Tiki bar should add a mantel or two?

If you need a different perspective, much better to be higher up and looking down. iammu – glad you are doing better. Hope Spot feels better soon too. Poor thing.

The lights are on and no body is home.I think he just wants to emulate the mantle pieces. They are the center of the room and draw much attention.

He’s still hoping to catch Santa.

In the fireplace works better…………..

Gud MorNin sTEL….!!! :())yew wooden hapin ta hav eny leftover mantels ovr at yer store frum teh lass remodeling venchur wood ya???(TLex sugjected we gits wun fer teh TIKI… ah thinks its a grandiose ideer) wutcha think… huh? Mehbe wun wit fancy glidder onnit oar sumpn lak thet…. ah aint no anterier decimater dekamater… ah leav it to yew wimmin folk…. uh heh…

I can remember, when I was a little guy, that I loved piggy back rides because everything looked so different from up high where the grown-ups were.

pssst….. hay SuSun… tehrs a bag o yakapeno rinds buhind teh toaster wit yer name onem…. yer wellcum!!!! (jus be careful an dont be skratchin yer itches after werds… lak ah did…. whoooooeeeey…!!!)

Clarence looks pretty “high” alright. Must be a psychedelic perspective.

Healy Willan (a church musician) used to put his wife up on the mantle as a joke. At least that was his excuse. I doubt she laughed.

It is Thursday. where’s Fireman?

While i was at the Gleneden Beach State Park, we spotted a whale moving south.I thought that all the whales were in Baja California this time of year, so i was a bit confused.I called the whale watching center and they told me that there are a few stragglers even this late. (…early?)

@ BevSauza Tequila has a strange effect on the eyes, doesn’t it?I could swear I saw…oh, well, never mind. I am sure i just need sleep. Thanks for the drink, Fireman! Stay warm!

Not updating at this end of the street either.
