Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 27, 2016

Chet’s legs appear to be cut from cardboard. He could use a good Oxygen boost!

try lighting it _

they call it mellow yellow: https://youtu.be/nrbni0tVBZ8

There’s nothing quite like some freshly minted oxygen.

Whoa, Mist, is it really such a hot destination?

Sheriff, you might want to get a little more context when dealing with reports of Chet’s pot use.

I also thought immediately of Chet’s sidewalk business.

I wondered whether he needed that oxygen boost to give himself the stamina to carry on.

But you know, it’s a very good location…. and you know what they say about location.

I borrowed both his spot and his table to hold my own sale last fall…and I have to say it was quite successful.(I guess I should do it again, and clear out some of my really old jokes.)

Who has a hybrid?

I did my first milage check last night and found that I’m only getting 35mpg.

If you drive a hybrid and have found that you have had similar problems with it i would like to hear from you.

My first two guesses is tire pressure (which I’m checking this morning) and the possibility that I’m not driving long enough to/from clients for the system to “warm up”.

Any input from anyone with experience in these things would be greatly appreciated.

Chet was told to stop and smell the flowers. Nobody told him what to do after that.

Flower Power! Don’t Bogart that bud, my friend!

Ya know MIST….that day back in Sept of 2012 was a VERY SPESHUL DAY…!!!

I wish I cud remember most of it, but as you can see, there wuz a lotta sell abratin goin on…!!!

MY INAWGURAYSHUN!!!!

With every breath he takes!!

Ah yes…. Your inauguration ….What a day, what a party!

I will always remember it, Monkey…Which is a good thing, because if you go back to see it, you’ll find that almost all the pictures I posted that day are missing.Sniffle.

I used to use what I thought was a great image-hosting site…better than PhotoBucket or any of them…cos it was very simple and didn’t save an album for other people to hack, or try to SELL your work to anybody viewing it…which is what Photobucket does, and without a penny to the creator.But one day, it disappeared….and all the pictures I uploaded there from 2012 -14 have been replaced by an error message.

I tell this sad tale just to warn people….anything on the web can disappear…one day PostImage, TinyPic, or even Photobucket or Flickr could be gone…not likely, but possible. I’m even thinking of duplicating my cloud back-up on a different site so it’s in two places.OMG I hope Ballard Street is forever!And that you’re Sheriff forever.Which reminds me….Don’t worry….Ballard County Sheriffs serve a 7 year term….so you won’t be up for reelection till August of 2019.
