Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 24, 2017

His notes on the bathroom alone fill 5 note cards….

“Dogged day afternoon.”

And details on the details.

Your trousers are impeccable. But wait till Rusty, Thunder and Godfrey come by to ask about your day!

To be fair, and sporting, Ken should at least add the word “please” to his sign.

Some people are naturally detail-oriented…

Can Ken help it if he was born minutiae-oriented?

He’s actually pretty helpful….

At least if you ever forget anything, you can ask him, and he might remember, or simply know.

And if it was something you said, in conversation with him….

he can probably pull it up, if not from his memory, from his detailed notes.

I’ve used him as a memory aid, and he’s very nice about it….

Though I wish he knew where I left my keys.

Dennis… Even though Rusty and Thunder are a bit rambunctious,

I’m glad that Godfrey isn’t hanging out with those wild guys Butch and Seymour tonight.

I was asked yesterday to post info about contacting the moderators on behalf of BBear (a Ten Cats poster who was banned) ….

which I posted, also replying to someone about Dogsniff, who is still banned.

Well, BBear is back, and the intended person saw the info about Dogsniff….

You’re quite welcome, Chromosome….

So I won’t re-post it all here.

But if anybody wants it, it’s still there, just before the turn.

And BaconBoy Camper…. I also did a reply to your earlier post, about Sheriff MonkeyBlues….

who I"m sure is OK… but who I still wish would come to his party, however late.

Come back, Monkey!

Ken also has 8×10 color glossies with circles and arrows and a paragraph (or three) on the back of each one.The slide show isn’t bad though, ( if he ever gets to that point in his presentation ) especially when he gets to the ones about his days with Barbie. He will tell you that she was a bit plastic, but you can tell there was something special between them.

What if I say “No?”

Time to cross the street.

a sign even more terrifying- “ask me about my grandkids!”

Definitely don’t ask him about his evenings. He has detailed notes of those, too.
