Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 04, 2022

It takes her all day to walk around the block because she records each…and…every…step.

What’s disturbing is that she posts it to several Social Media platforms..and she’s got 72,000 followers.

If she is recording all the sights on Ballard Street, I can understand why it takes so long.

Ginger is a deep thinker… to the best of her capabilities, at least.

Having read somewhere that the great Socrates said “The unexamined life is not worth living”, she has taken it to heart….

Even though Socrates may or may not have said it… and probably didn’t have little notebooks, or even the 1700-through-1799 and 1800-through-1899 blocks of Ballard Street in mind.

But Ginger and Hal live at 1788, and he takes the car to work… so what else can she do?

Ginger has anticipated the measured life movement nicely.

and even better, she’s left-handed

Well. That’s nice!

Reminds me when I was willed mt Mom’s diary. It was mundane stuff like what she had for lunch or who sat at her dinner table. Had hoped for more, but there was much in her life to forget.

Now we know where Jerry Van Amerongen got all the ideas for his comic strip.

Don’t suppose Ginger is a JW.. and needs to put in a timesheet at the end of the day?

She needs to know how to get back to where she buried the recipe for her World-Famous “Ginger” Bread. That darn Mrs. Higglepooder has been sniffing around again…

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

…but what happens when the pen runs out of ink???

- I started my morning walk.

- I wrote a note about starting my morning walk.

- I wrote a note about writing a note.
