Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 12, 2016

Everyone else considers him a nut.

I see he’s got his victim in a bag by his right foot. Does he have something to gather up the fish after this disastrous experiment?

I agree with oldpine.

I am thinking of adding a hair restoration clinic to my Ballard businesses.

The goldfish considers himself doomed.

Wait, lets cut him a break, he took the goldfish out of the bowl, so it wouldn’t get hurt, now that’s nice!

However, he still has a few screws loose.

Dennis, I dunno, polyester and plugs. Well it is Ballard, so I guess it will be okay.

Nathan also considers himself the Queen of England.

I agree with the “mental” part of it.

Can I say I’m not impressed with his new bowling shoes?

Hmmm…. Rose…

Your take on it is more generous than mine….

I thought Nathan had just bought the fish,

for the specific purpose of riding in his experimental contraption.

I thought it was especially selected to be Nathan’s first fishtronaut….

and was now quaking in …. um…. whatever substitutes for its boots, in the fish world.

Meanwhile…..

X …. Boooo……

And to all…..

I have a very shaky internet connection tonight…..

The comics wouldn’t open till hours after the “turn.”

And now my posts seem to disappear for a while, but AFAIK, show up a bit later.

Let me know if you never see this one.

Still see it Susan.

No goldfish were harmed in this experiment. Nathan, however, experienced a slipped disc lifting the goldfish bowl, causing him extreme pain and discomfort and resulted in several trips to Dr. Carl’s Chiropractic and Car Care Clinic

.

Truth be told, Nathan slipped his mental disc years ago !

A hair restoration clinic for the follically challenged males of Ballard would be an excellent Idea. You could combine it with your carpet warehouse and call it Rugs & Plugs ?

I wish i could see the expression on that fishes face right now.

My friend that i am visiting is fond of casinos so i made sure that i had some extra cash in my wallet when i came down.

Sure enough, when we went to Lake County to visit his sister we stopped at a casino on the way.

Good thing, for both of us. On his first spin on a machine he hit the machines Bonus and pulled out over $1,000. Woo hoo!

So, since he was done, i decided to start making Max Bets and finish off the credits i had in the machine. I hit a big spin. Cashed out with $54. I had started with a $20 bill. Woo Hoo.

not a lit, i know, but it went into the gas fund.

THEN we went to visit with his sister. While there she made me some home made tortillas and showed me the technique to get good tortillas, instead of the mess that i was making. (The secret is lots and lots of kneading. LOTS of kneading.) We had some homemade Chicken en Mole’ wit the fresh tortillas. MMMmmm…

And THEN, a old classmate from high school showed up!

WE had a wonderful visit. It was ALL so good!

After we left and was headed home my friend had me go to another casino. (Not a big surprise.) He had some credit that he wanted to use up there. He didn’t win, but…

Since it was my birthday month, and they had a promotion going, i ended up with $30 in free gaming. Just given to me on a card.

“Here, go have fun. And happy Birthday!”

I played over $25 of that and then hit a Bonus Spin.

Cashed out of that machine with $55.

Woo Hoo!

All in all, a good day. And not bad for someone that doesn’t do a lot of gambling.

With a grand total of $89 of winnings to put into my gas tank.

Yes, i had a good day yesterday!

Looks like Goldy the gold fish sees him more like a negligent pet owner rather than an experimentalist. ;)

Sure would like to know the purpose of this experiment.

Oh yeah, this is Ballard Street – no purpose necessary.

HappyI’m glad you are having a good time. I hope you battened down the hatches before you left, ’cause the coast is gonna be hit with a big wind/rain storm tomorrow (Thurs).And so are we “inlanders”.

Nathan is new to this experimentalist business. As you can see he’s just getting his feet wet.

Sorry Susan, I can’t see your post.

<small> Not after what you said. </small>

I think it is the house fish and he is just borrowing its bowl.
