Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 29, 2019

…skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight, afternoon delight…

And the rockets red glare….

I find that hard to swallow.

Oh, Yeah! Two idiosyncratic Ballardians finding love through mutual acceptance! Isn’t that what we are all looking for on Ballard Street?

I think there is a name for this in child psychology. Parallel play?

They certainly do appear to be simpatico.

Oh sure they are wearing earphones… the rest of us on the block have to listen to Kablam Kablam and her screeching!

Close the windows you two!

Hey, if it works, who am I to judge? Life is hard enough. There’s no point in making it harder for other people. Or yourself.

It’s the final countdown.

There’s still some fireworks left in their marriage.

5 – 4 – 3 – 1 – ha haha.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Cape Canaveral Karaoke

She has the fire department on speed dial.

This acceptance came to them thanks to their purchase of a matching pair of WH-1000XM3 sound blocking headsets.

The neighbors, on the other hand, are not so sanguine…

The 1812 Overture – Harold’s got the cannon, Sandy nails the musket-fire…

Harold and Sandy prepare for The Ballard Street Talent and Summerfest Sunburn Contest. Harold will provide the pyrotechnics and his friends at The Ballard Street Pulley Club are working on a harness for Sandy to fly in on. ( Looking for spandex leotards in size 6 x )

I’d love to see their ceiling.

Similar to my home life. I use Nerf missiles. Less ceiling damage.

When you’re in love.. you don’t complain about your partners.. hobbies

Little-known fact: Harold was the inspiration for Elton John’s song, “Rocket Man.”
