Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 20, 2022

You’re darn write

Some of my best ideas come at the oddest times.

yeah but it’s too late

You might think so, but he’s just keeping track of how many times Peaches makes a doo doo. She’s on a new dog food, you see, and …..on second thought, …. never mind.

I think Peaches is being far more clever than old Stanley.

He has to write it down quickly – otherwise the cleverness disappears.

Look, Stanley’s no Einstein, but then, Helena’s elevator is pretty much stuck on the second floor.

To her, he’s brilliant; to him, she’s a welcome devotee and supporter.

I say, leave them to it… happiness is hard enough to find without picking at it.

Of course he’s clever again, he’s left handed

Of course! Stanley has a mind like a teal strap…

Stanley is obviously a Ballard Street fan and commentator.

One time during an ordinary day my husband said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea.” I said “Hurry quick and write it down.” He didn’t see the humor.

Helena loves men that take notes.. makes them look real smart and all.

Stanley makes notes of the cracks in the sidewalks.

Note to self: "Don’t let her see you writing in the notebook or she will say something that will make you for…… "

If he is writing down the location of every place the dog (Rusty?) stops and sniffs, he is going to need a bigger notepad!

Probably a great tool idea. On second thought..

Dog: This time of the day is for walking me! Not for thinking.

We lefties are always getting great ideas!
