Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 28, 2021

I would suggest that Martin put as much distance between himself and Ballard St. as possible before Gladys gets home from the store.

Bit late for that thought, eh Martin?

Gladys just left the Grocery… RUN!

Looks pretty haphazard, Martin. And is that a flaming torch next to the wall? I suggest you remove it before Gladys gets home.

Given what just happened at the movie set for Rust, I wouldn’t even trust some experts.

For best safety our town had the firemen do the fireworks. They still set the bank roof on fire!! All we had to do was call their attention to it.

He thinks so NOW.

That’s neighbor Bob Martin is looking at. He is roughly at 125’ and falling. Martin had planned for it to be a gentle descent sitting on the chair with the balloons as a parachute, but…

Someone special comes to mind right now . . . .:-)

Try CGI instead. Less destructive

The trouble with Martin is he does not think!

Needs more gunpowder. At least to get it to the neighbor’s.

And it looked so good going up…

Bit late for that!

Like firemen.

One “think”.. too late, but a boon to the Ballard St Roof Repair Co. Rumor has it they secretly encourage Martin’s work.

Mmmm, WHAT effect was he going for ?

Did you guys grab the money first?

Anyone can do Special Effects. Just start small and never use potentially destructive force. Smoke, sound, LEDs, and servo-based movement are good areas for beginners.

But it looked so good in Martin’s mind when he set it up. “This is going to be great!” he was thinking to himself.

Martin thought it looked good on paper. It should have stayed on paper.
