Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 13, 2021

The Pulley Club will really admire that rope and strap work, Roger. Go out proudly!

Don’t worry, Roger. I am sure they cannot wait to hear your conclusions, at the next Ballard Street Scientific Awards ceremony.

He should be leery. He doesn’t have a patent yet.

Who knows who might want to steal his great ideas?

He’s especially leery of Mr. B. Org who would probably discourage him saying, “Resistance is futile.”

He ought to be leery of leaving the house with or without it.

The neighbors should be leery of Roger after that little episode with the home made cannon.

Ah, Roger is wearing his trouser inserts on the outside today.

Never mind the wind; it’s Roger who will one day blow all the neighbors away!

A totally understandable concern. Given the cost of plywood these days, Roger doesn’t want the neighbors to think he is rich and putting on airs…

I practice wind acceptance.

Are you kidding? They make bets on his landing spot…. er… impact crater.

The wind may resist, but Roger inevitably breaks wind.

Roger is more than just “leery” he is nutso!

Roger is wise to keep his work secret. Ballard St is full of wannabes who will steal Rogers work in a heartbeat.

His work with wind resistance will blow right over there head.

Leery-schmeery, he should be embarrassed…

Roger’s been exposing way too much lately.

No comments on the fact that Roger is far from wind-resistant?

Acceptance of Roger’s work with wind resistance is likely to be resisted.

Roger is about to find he’s not in Kansas any more…

At least he has stopped exposing himself. The neighbours will be glad of this.

‘Resistance?”

“Resistance?” It’s futile.
