Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 24, 2020

Good luck to them! Of course when the rains come, it might get a bit damp down there..

See, that’s what you have to do when your pipe bursts and destroys your kitchen. You have to improvise, adapt and overcome. Been there, sort of, but luckily didn’t have to dig a hole in the ground. Although she’s a good sport, my wife might have complained slightly. She’s not really into digging.

It’s a suburban yurt!

Going to be a problem when Scooter comes along and thinks that chimney is a fire hydrant.

That better not be an outhouse in the back corner of their yard.

SHERIFF !

FYI, guys. Grass huts and wood stoves don’t mix.

If you are looking for Cleo and Co, please skip to Oct 25, 2010. There is no Oct 24 strip in 2010.

Some people go out of their way to oversimplify things.

I wondered what had happened to Norm and Denise.

Talk about getting back to the land.

A huge groundhog lives under my shed. It rained so much he got flooded out and was on the lawn for hours waiting for the water to recede. LOL

In these times the Crosby’s decided to seriously hunker down.

Obviously no HOA, but I want one.

They refuse to leave for the next ten days. I think I’ll join them.

Guess they got tired of all those rock slides… ☺

Their finances were already in a hole, so they went in after them!

Are the Crosbys implying that Ballard Street isn’t already the simple life?

Hobbits on Ballard Street!

I hope they enjoy the company of skunks, rabbits and homeless dwarfs.
