Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 17, 2010

The squirrels must have gone through boy scout knot training. That looks like a double clove hitch. They know their nuts, and they know their knots. In fact they are nuts about knots!

Cleo may not be a very good waitress, but she is pretty in pink!

It appears Rocky enjoys having an in-home shower. A squirrel spa.

Or at least explains why her tips are lousy.

Wow, everybody….. I just realised…

Two days in a row with no comments from the posters of ten years ago.

Gosh… I hope they’re not sick.

Oh well…. I’m sure they’ll be back soon.

But I guess that means we have this old Ballard Street to ourselves…

For our comments on

Which you can find on Sherpa:

The idea of Cleo as a waitress is scary for a LOT of reasons.

I mean, the bottomless cup thing is almost understandable… I always thought it was a weird expression myself.

And dogs are very literal.

How can a cup hold ANYTHING if it has no bottom.

So of course she’s gonna look. I’d  look! Wouldn’t you?

Um… well… if you say so.

Do you honestly think you could order a steak, and a dog would bring it?

Right. I have a bridge to sell you.

Cleo might be the world’s bossiest dog, besides.

She’d tell you what you’re having, and how much you’re tipping… and THEN eat half of it on the way to your table…

With her long ears dragging through your salad, her nose covered in mashed potatoes, as she lapped up the gravy.

And c’mon…. do you even know where those paws have been?

(crush) “It is _now…_”

Or it could be a double knot spy.

Only the hole you’re about to dig yourself into.

Wasn’t me. I can’t hop that high.

Anyone else besides me get annoyed when a waitress dumps more coffee in your cup when you have just the right amount of cream and/or sweet?

It wouldn’t be so bad, but the squirrels also kinked the hose. As soon as Neal tries to untangle the sprinkler, he’s going to get a shower.

RODENT REVOLUTION!

Good Morning, Ballardeers and Mr Hawks! Q-date: 157.98227.13 and warm and dry… the tree got cut up yesterday. Yay!

I’m sure there are some waitresses out there that have wanted to do that, Cleo.

Y’all have a Monday…(((((HUGS for ALL!)))))

The worst part was she didn’t even call him, “Hon”

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Hey! You asked ~~ Cleo answered!

I don’t think there’s a place we’ve been (before covid19) that only serves you one cup of coffee. When we’re out to breakfast the coffee is the most important part of the meal. Lots of it!

Love Cleo’s outfit.

Just how many minutes or seconds did Cleo work before she was fired?
